Playtime Wetroom Solution


Why are Consumers becoming Interested in Wetrooms

Over the last ten years 11% of the UK population have removed their bath in favour of a showering area.

People are encountering Wet Rooms abroad and in commercial locations such as Local Authorities, Care Homes, NHS and Hotels and like the concept of a Wet Room with its level access and low maintenance.

The elderly and young alike are opting to shower instead of Bathe.

Bathrooms are getting smaller and also Property Developers, keen to install a second bathroom into many modern flats, have been able to squeeze showers into spaces that would not fit a bath such as ensuites, flats and downstairs cloakrooms.


What relevant information would a Customer need to Choose a Wetroom?

The Playtime Wetroom Solution allows the Consumer to create their own ideas of design in their Wet Room with their own choice of tiles and accessories.

Previously if a consumer wanted a Shower room instead of a Bathroom all they could buy was: A shower enclosure A walk in shower with a plastic tray Now they have a third choice of a Wet Room

Installing a wet room isn't as difficult or as costly as many people think.

Into concrete without the tray the depth of the 800 Waste and Trap with Low Mini Waste and Trap is 97mm.


Top Tips• Check the level of the floorboards prior to installation. If they are +or- 5 mm this is acceptable. If

they are over these tolerances do not install and contact your installation manager straight away.

• The 800 Wet room Waste and Trap must be installed flat and horizontal and not at an angle or

on a slope. Always carry a spirit level.

• The grate also when installed must be horizontal and flat. It also must be level with the Ceramic tile surface and not at an angle or on a slope. Always check prior to installing the tiles.

• Use dry wall screws to fix the four tray sections to the floorboards. When screwing avoid any pipes, electrical cables and all other services that was found on your survey.

with the tools.

• Do not use power tools on the screws of the 800 Wet Room Waste and Trap.

the Drop Grate Accessory which has a maximum height level of 26 mm.


Top Tips• Remove any skirting Boards in the room.

• Any gaps or holes/damage in the walls and floors must be made good.

• If you have to extend the area of the Wet Room use 18mm Marine Ply or appropriate Tile Backer Board and fix with screws at the same centres as the tray i.e. 15mm. Do not use chipboard or any other subfloor; this is accordance with BS 5385 2007 for Ceramic Tiles. Using your site survey when screwing avoid any pipes, electrical cables and all other services. The18mm Marine Ply does not need to be primed. All joints between the 18mm Marine Ply panels and the tray must be taped as described in the instructions.

• Do not apply PCI-Lastogum X at substrate temperatures below +5°C and above +30°C.

• Always check that the tray is the correct way up.

• When applying the Lastogum by brush or roller just like painting two coats it is a good practice to apply the second coat in a different direction than the first coat. Usually horizontally then vertically to ensure the full coverage required.


Top Tips• Under Normal Conditions the drying time of the Primer G 1-2 hours. If the substrate is extremely porous you may need two coats. The second coat is applied 20 minutes after the first and a full hour is required for Curing. The curing times of the Lastogum are first coat three hours and second coat another 8 hours after application. It is best practice to leave the second coat to cure until the next day.

are clean and tidy at all times.
