Wet rooms

A 4 m² wet room needs a single fall direction toward the linear drain without creating a visible slope at the vanity threshold. We mark fall zones on plan so tilers set gradients before large-format floor tile arrives on site.

Corner drains suit square showers; linear drains along the glass panel preserve a flatter appearance at the room entry — common in Port Arthur bathrooms where the door opens directly into the wet zone.

Wet-room styling packages from €3,200 include drain location drawings and tile layout grids.

Frameless glass to 200 cm height contains spray while keeping sight lines open to window light. In ensuite layouts we sometimes specify half-height glass with a tiled upstand when full panels would block radiator access or window sills.

Hardware finishes align with tap collections — brushed nickel for soft water staining, matt black where clients prefer contrast against pale Turku-sourced porcelain.

Wet walls carry the same tile from shower through vanity splash zone for visual calm. Recessed niches sit at elbow height for shampoo storage without cluttering shower floors where soap dishes become trip hazards.

We specify slope sills on niche bases so standing water drains back into the shower rather than pooling against grout lines during long Finnish steam sessions.

Aurajoki-facing units often run existing extractors at minimum speed to cut noise. We note required airflow rates on styling sheets so your electrician upgrades fans when opening the shower zone — open wet rooms move more moisture than boxed stalls.

Ceiling-mounted fans above the shower zone outperform wall units blocked by glass returns in narrow rooms.

Heated floors extend through the full wet footprint with clear expansion joints at drain surrounds. We coordinate mat layout with tiler schedules so cable zones do not cross fall lines.

Programmable thermostats let clients dry floors faster after evening showers — practical in Turku winters when outdoor boots add extra humidity to small flats.
