Matki Shower Trays or Tiled Wet Room Floors

Wet rooms are a sought-after feature in luxury bathrooms, offering a sleek, contemporary look with seamless functionality. However, homeowners often debate between a fully tiled wet room floor and a high-quality shower tray when choosing the right flooring solution. We recommend Matki shower trays at Jeremy Colson Bathrooms for their superior performance, durability, and aesthetic flexibility. Here’s why:

1. Reduced Risk of Leaks

One of the biggest concerns with a fully tiled wet room floor is the potential for leaks. Waterproofing a tiled floor requires careful installation, tanking, and sealing to ensure water does not seep through to the subfloor. Even with proper preparation, grout lines can deteriorate, leading to moisture penetration and costly repairs.

Matki shower trays provide a watertight, single-piece solution that eliminates these risks. Their solid construction and integrated drainage mean no grout lines to maintain or worry about, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-free wet room.

2. Easier Installation and Maintenance

Tiling a wet room floor is a complex process that requires precision and expertise to achieve the correct slope for drainage. Matki shower trays, on the other hand, come with a pre-engineered gradient for efficient water runoff. This makes installation faster and more reliable, reducing the likelihood of issues down the line. Additionally, because there are no grout joints, there’s less ongoing maintenance – no need to worry about discoloured or cracked grout.

3. Colour-Matching for a Seamless Look

One of the key reasons homeowners still consider a fully tiled wet room floor is the desire for a seamless, stylish appearance. With Matki shower trays, you don’t have to compromise on aesthetics, as Matki trays can be colour-matched to your floor tiles, ensuring a cohesive, streamlined design. This means you get the visual appeal of a continuous floor without the downsides of tiling, offering both practicality and elegance.

4. Unmatched Durability and Quality

Matki is known for its exceptional build quality, using robust materials designed to withstand daily use without cracking, warping, or discolouration. Unlike tiles, which can be slippery when wet, Matki shower trays feature anti-slip surfaces to enhance safety in the bathroom. Their solid, reinforced construction ensures longevity, making them a worthwhile investment in any luxury wet room.

5. Enhanced Comfort and Warmth Underfoot

Tiles can often feel cold and harsh underfoot, particularly in winter months. While underfloor heating is an option, it adds to the cost and complexity of a wet room installation. Matki shower trays offer a warmer and more comfortable surface, making showers a more pleasant experience, especially in colder seasons.
