A wetroom can share its main finishes with the rest of a bathroom and still have a clear washing area. In Airyhall, Aberdeen, clear glass marks the wetroom side and herringbone tiles distinguish the shower wall. A larger tile finish continues across the surrounding areas, while the bath sits in a tiled structure beneath the window.
The floor plan and wall elevation can give the shower boundary different jobs. The glass defines the edge at floor level, and the pattern makes the shower easy to identify from further away. On a similar room, line up the glass edge and the intended tile changes on the drawing, then compare the view through the enclosure from the door and the bath. The pattern can stay focused at the washing wall while the larger surfaces carry the room as a whole. That balance gives the shower a distinct place within the continuous finish.
