For those with elderly relatives or people who want to futureproof their home, a wetroom can be the ideal solution to create a welcoming and comfortable space that encourages accessibility.
Wetrooms that are intentionally designed for the elderly will ensure that as a person progresses through life, they are able to still shower, bathe and clean with independence for as long as possible.
Here at CCL Wetrooms, we want to work with you to create a luxury wetroom that also serves your needs. We believe that accessibility, and accessible design, doesn’t have to mean clinical and so our wetrooms blend full accessible requirements with a design that makes you feel like you’re in luxury.

Our Solutions for Wetrooms Designed for the Elderly
Here at CCL, our innovative, solution-led thinking has led to the creation of a wide range of wetroom products which have numerous applications, including in accessible wetrooms.
We may include the following products in your wetroom build:
Modular Wet Floor System
Our modular wet floor system is a one-of-a-kind product in wetroom flooring. It uses a three-part process to select a combination of elements that can be adjusted until you are ready for installation. This means that personal adjustments for you or your home, such as reducing the gradient, can be made at the last minute. This makes it an ideal choice for accessible wetrooms, as each installation can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the individual.
Solo4 Drain
The Solo4 Drain is ideal for use in future-proofed wetrooms as it allows for a four-way fall, which creates a more stable flooring base for someone in a wheelchair or who needs to be seated to shower. This can be better for the elderly, as it makes them more stable when standing, or when using a shower chair.
Flexible Wall Membrane (FWM)
When building a fully accessible wetroom, it’s important the area is fully waterproofed to guarantee it is safe. Our FWM is an easy-to-apply solvent paste that can be used outside the shower area to add an increased layer of protection. FWM protects your bathroom, and prevents damp and leaks damaging your building.

Elements That You Should Consider for your Future-Proofed Wetroom
If you want to create a wetroom that meets your needs, both now and in the future, you should consider the following design features:
- Heated flooring, to ensure the floor dries quicker, and therefore reduces the risk of a slip
- An emergency pull cord
- A folding shower seat that can double as a shelf
- Handrails through the bathroom
- A toilet that has enough room on one side for a wheelchair to park next to it
- Step-free access to the shower area
- A drain with a high flow rate so that water drains quickly
