What wet room drain outlet do I need for my project?

Over the last two decades wet room designs have become very popular and have gone on to replace the traditional plastic tray and cubicle style of bathrooms. Wetrooms give you the scope to achieve a modern, sleek and clean finish. You can create a beautifully tiled floor without the need for a shower tray, enabling a seamless open plan look to your bathroom. We offer a wide range of wetroom kits and wetroom systems for you to choose from and to design the room that best suits your home.

UniSlope and Unidrain can be supplied with the new self cleaning trap, click here for more information.

What is a wetroom drain water trap and how does it work?

A water trap is used all bathroom products from baths and shower trays to sinks and toilets. The majority of these items will use a U bend / P Trap, which holds water in the pipe. The water prevents odours / gasses from travelling through the pipe and into the bathroom. As wet rooms are typically level access, this needs to be incorporated into the floor, where there is not a huge amount of space to install a U bend / P Trap. To deal with this, most outlets use removable traps which will hold 50mm of water or will have a mechanical spring trap which prevents / blocks odours.
