Royal Star & Garter, Richmond Hill
London Squares’ development of luxury apartments in this stunning Grade II Listed Building required wetroom drainage and waterproofing solutions onto timber floors
The Challenge
London Square are committed to creating exceptional properties which reflect the aspirations of residents. The Royal Star and Garter is a Grade II listed landmark which has been meticulously refurbished to provide a stunning selection of luxuriously specified 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments. The beautiful building has a magnificent setting in Richmond with the iconic view of the River Thames, visible from the restored gardens. The property includes a leisure suit with a pool, spa and treatment room and Harrods concierge.
Stone & Ceramic were commissioned by London Square to carry out the tiling contract and approached Wetrooms UK to supply and install 98 bespoke wetrooms into the luxury apartments and penthouses within the development, that would be suitable for installing onto the timber floors.
The Solution
Wetrooms UK specified the installation of Modular Wet-Floor Systems and contemporary Stone-Infill Grills into the apartments and penthouses within the stunning Grade II listed building. The drainage needed to connect to the tail of a waste pipe that had been installed by a third party. An 18mm ply sub floor was installed prior to the Modular Wet-Floor Systems.
Once installed, Tilesafe waterproof membrane was applied to the floor and wall junctions across the entire shower area of each bathroom, finishing a metre outside of the shower area. Flexible Wall Membrane (FWM) was applied full height to the shower walls, finishing 2.2m outside of the shower area, linking to the floor membrane, to prevent any water penetration.
Stone In-fill Grills in lengths of 600mm, 800mm and 1200mm were installed into the bathrooms, giving the contemporary wetrooms a stunning finishing touch.
