What Is The Unislope Wet Room System?

As wet room designs continue to rise in popularity, more builders and contractors are becoming familiar with the complexities of wet room installations. Common problems like leaks and poor drainage are often the result of poor installation techniques; such as incorrect drain positioning, or failure to create the correct floor slope.

These problems can be overcome by using wet room kits, designed to simplify the installation process. Unislope is a wet room kit which has a solid reputation for creating a superior wet room floor finish – and for being one of the easiest products to use in the market place.

Unislope incorporates a Unidrain linear drain, an award-winning drain that has many design attributes, making it a market leader across Europe.
