Crossacres, Virginia Water

The award winning luxury house developer Octagon required waterproofing and drainage solutions for their prestigious £17m house in Virginia Water.

The Challenge

Octagon Developments create prestigious homes throughout London and the home counties. Situated within the world famous Wentworth Estate, Crossacres is a magnificent country mansion set in over 2 acres of beautifully landscaped south facing grounds. Extending to around 15,000 sq ft of accommodation, this stunning home features 7 bedroom suites, 6 reception rooms, staff accommodation, underground car park, a choice of both indoor and outdoor pools and an all-weather tennis court.

Wetrooms UK were approached by Octagon Developments to supply and install wetroom systems and waterproofing solutions into the Master Bathroom, Gym and three further En-Suites at the Luxury House in Virginia Water. All wetrooms were to be installed onto solid screeded floors.

The Solution

Wetrooms UK recommended the installation of Linear Screed Drains into each wet area of the development. Falls were created in the screed before the Linear Screed Drains  and solid linear grills capable of coping with flow rates of up to 29 L/min, were manufactured and installed into the required floor or wall position within each bathroom.

Tilesafe waterproof membrane was applied to the floor and wall junctions within each of the shower areas and across the floor area, finishing 1 metre outside the shower area. Flexible Wall Membrane (FWM) was then applied full height to the shower walls, linking to the Tilesafe membrane, to prevent any water penetration.
