bench depth - Wondering what the size of the bench at the end of the shower is? Considering a similar layout and trying to put things together. I know this is an older project so thank you in advance.

zzhar,

The bench is 16" high and 16" deep, and about 45 inches long. If I had a choice (and the room) I might make it 2" wider.


Yours,

Wet floor? - This bathroom looks stunning. What worries me, is getting out if the bath onto a slippery floor. I suppose the answer would be to put a wooden floor mat, so you won't slip.

Wet rooms, in my experience, have two distinct advantages to regular tile floors that helps prevent slipping:

1. As a wet room, the entire floor is sloped (gently) towards a recessed edge drain which you can see underneath the bench in the image. this prevents large puddles of water forming which is a big factor in slipping.

2. There is in-floor radiant heat under the tiles so what little water is left on the surface of the tiles gets evaporated much more quickly than with a standard forced-air system.

Makes sense now John Donkin. Maybe in South Africa we are not as sophisticated architecturally as the USA. It's a smart idea. GREAT BATHROOM.

A new bathroom in a new addition project. - How do you build a wet floor shower? Currently doing a new bathroom project and the contractors can't conceptualize how to build a shower without a kit or a lip at the entrance. What materials do we need underneath the tile from the plywood up?

In this case, the entire segment of floor that would be considered the shower base is sloped toward the drain (seen at the base of the bench) then, to my knowledge, this project used a variety of Schluter products ( http://www.schluter.com/) to provide waterproofing.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Mary Jo Bowling added this to Dream Spaces: Spa-Worthy Showers to Refresh the Senses
Without the windows, this shower and wet room, by John Donkin of Ottawa, Ontario, would be less remarkable. But with them the room gives bathers the experience of showering outdoors, minus the drafts. This home, built with the help of RND Construction, was named Green Home of the Year by the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association.
