Aldgate Place, E1

Barratt Homes’ stunning London apartments required the installation of wetrooms onto screeded floors

The Challenge

Aldgate Place is a stunning development of 463 one-bedroom suites, one, two & three-bedroom apartments and luxury penthouses. Situated in East London, Aldgate Place is on the doorstep of some of the Capital’s most vibrant and dynamic neighbourhoods.

Wetrooms UK were contacted by Barratt Homes London to supply and install wetroom solutions for 79 wetrooms in their luxury development of apartments. The wetrooms of varying sizes needed appropriate waterproofing solutions suitable for use on screeded floors.

The Solution

Wetrooms UK specified the installation of Linear Wall Drains and Stone-Infill Grills into the apartments and penthouses within the high rise apartment complex. To comply with planning regulations for apartment blocks, a same level waste connection was required within the 100mm floor build up of each of the wetrooms. This was achieved using the shallow linear wall drain which has a total height of only 67mm.

Tilesafe waterproof membrane and Flexible Wall Membrane (FWM) was applied to the floor and wall junctions within each of the shower areas and across the entire floor, finishing 75mm up the wall/floor junctions.

Flexible Wall Membrane (FWM) was then applied full height to the shower walls, linking to the Tilesafe to prevent any water penetration.
