[quote=Anonymous]The wet room makes sense if done well. That particular example in the link is problematic. The entire room should have been waterproofed (the orange stuff). The green wallboard is moisture RESISTANT, not moisture proof.
Also the finished floor is not sloped towards the drain, and it doesn't look like the mud bed beneath it is either. So water is just going to sit on the floor tile. It's a rain shower so the water is assumed to flow vertically down on the person showering which is actually pretty unpleasant but I guess the homeowner thought that would prevent water from landing outside of the shower zone. But it won't because water bounces off the body and splashes away at an angle, it doesn't just ooze down the body vertically.
The space given to the toilet is too generous. Minimum is 30", and 36" if enclosed within its own closet. I would have just done the minimum, put in a space saving wall hung toilet and given the extra space to the shower.

Finally, how does one clean the floor behind the freestanding bathtub, with a very long toothbrush?[/quote]
