Malmaison, Boutique Hotel, London
The Boutique Hotel required the installation of wetrooms into their guest ensuites.
The Challenge
Malmaison is a small chain of trendy boutique hotels offering visitors an exquisite stay in luxurious surroundings. London Mal has been stunningly converted from a traditional brick built nurses home into the finest boutique hotel in the centre of London.
Wetrooms UK were contacted by Paton Developments to supply level entry wet room systems and install waterproofing solutions into the 97 ensuite bathrooms at Malmaison during a recent renovation. The en-suite bathrooms needed to be fully waterproofed and appropriate drainage systems installed capable of coping with flow rates of up to 29 litres per minute in the marble monsoon showers.
The Solution
Wetrooms UK recommended a Modular Wet-Floor system for each bathroom at Malmaison – the perfect solution for timber floors as it allows any size or shape of wet room to be created quickly on a timber floor, whilst enabling the drain to be situated in almost any position within the bathroom.
Following the installation of the tapered board with built in two way falls, a waterless drainage trap and contemporary stainless steel grill were fitted, capable of coping with flow rates of up to 29 litres per minute.
Tilesafe waterproof membrane was then applied to the floor and wall junctions across the entire shower area of each ensuite. Flexible Wall Membrane (FWM) was applied full height to the shower walls, linking to the Tilesafe membrane, to prevent any water penetration. Contemporary floor and wall tiles were then applied to the whole shower area.

Testimonial
We’ve worked with Wetrooms UK and their wetroom products on previous projects and felt confident that the quality of their wet room systems and waterproofing membranes would prove ideal for this hotel project. Their 10 year waterproofing guarantees offer peace of mind to a luxury hotel chain like Malmaison.
