According to the latest AMA Research study, the UK wet-room market is expected to grow by a huge 34% by 2019, constituting the fastest growing sector in the British bathroom market. The leading market analyst attributes the rapid growth to an influx of product innovations and falling prices – with the growth of wet room installation expected to increase by 7-8% a year for the next two years.

More recently, a separate study reveals that a wet-room is the second most desired home improvement in the UK, second only to a home cinema, as the bathroom continues to take precedence in the home.

Talking about the new research, Steve Kaye, Marketing Director at HiB said “These strong market predictions come as no surprise at all. With simple, minimalism continuing to dominate bathroom design, a wet-room offers a sleek, clean look working to further enhance the contemporary feel. In addition, a wet-room is an incredibly functional choice – it can add the illusion of more space in small bathrooms while also ensuring ease of accessibility – an important consideration in homes where the elderly or less able are present.”
