Wetrooms - A rapidly expanding market
Comment by BEN GRAVE, Impey
Published:  03 July, 2008

Within the next 30 years, the number of people aged 65 and over in the UK will nearly double.

With this in mind and the introduction of new Government regulations working to make homes adaptable to serve an ageing population, there has been an increased demand on the healthcare market to deliver.

The practicality of a wetroom has long been understood by the healthcare sector and is already a common element of many refurbishment projects undertaken by local authorities to make homes more suitable for those with limited mobility. Wetroom popularity is also increasing outside the healthcare sector, fast becoming a natural choice for the practical consumer, over and above the traditional bathroom suite.

The unique flexibility of wetrooms means that they are suitable for all - from young professionals with busy lifestyles, to families and those approaching their retirement years. They can be installed in even the smallest of bathrooms, and neither the designer nor installer is constrained by the footprint of a traditional shower tray.

Whilst historically products designed for the healthcare market have been very institutional in their appearance we are now seeing more contemporary bathroom designs entering the marketplace whilst managing to retain complete user accessibility.
