The Bathroom
• A Wet Floor by definition:
The bathroom floor/shower is built to resist water leakage to prevent sub floor or lower floor(s) from water damage. A rubber liner or similar material is used. This is continued to the wall and at times, up the wall 2" - 4". Please note that a secondary drain should be installed in the main floor of the bathroom with appropriate sloping to provide water drainage if necessary.
