Advantages of seamless bathrooms
The advantages that seamless bathrooms provide aren't to be underestimated. Apart from practical aspects, seamless bathrooms also have a lot to offer in terms of appearance:
Possible materials
Since there are no tiles in no-grout bathrooms, the question arises as to what to replace them with. There is a wide range of different options when it comes to materials, each of which has its own unique charm and can be used to create a completely different mood in your bathroom.
Even though the name suggests otherwise, the material to use in this case is not actually concrete, but rather a fine, waterproof plaster that is a perfect solution for use in seamless bathrooms. Visually, polished concrete is perfect for use in bathrooms with a modern, industrial look. It also makes an excellent solution when used in combination with other styles as part of a gray bathroom design.
This variety of seamless bathroom is both traditional and sustainable. This technology has been used since ancient times, and the natural material cures completely without the use of any additives. Water simply rolls off of the cured walls, and the wall itself can be rendered in any color. You can even create a marble lime plaster with the right mixture, which results in the perfect look for marble bathrooms.
Thanks to the warm, natural feeling that it creates, wood is a popular material that can also be used in your bathroom design. If you want to use real wood, we recommend using hardwoods that don't absorb much moisture, such as oak or teak. Nevertheless, wood needs to be properly sealed, and incorporating wood into your design can quickly lead to disadvantages, especially if it's used near splashing or standing water. Alternatively, consider using more water-friendly materials like laminate or vinyl for your seamless bathroom; these are available in a wood look.
Synthetic resins like epoxy are a good alternative for your seamless bathroom since they don't react with water and are generally hardwearing and easy to care for. The material is also available in all kinds of colors and patterns, giving you a lot of freedom when it comes to the design. In contrast to the other alternatives mentioned, epoxy resin is completely synthetic.
Wallpaper can also be used as a material in your seamless bathroom, as long as you choose a type that is resistant to water and steam. You also need to make sure to use the right type of wallpaper adhesive for wet rooms. With so many different colors and patterns, including photo wallpaper, you'll have plenty of individualized options when designing your seamless bathroom. Similar to wood, however, even wallpaper for wet rooms isn't designed to be in permanent contact with water – such as in shower areas.
Seamless showers
The area surrounding the shower needs to be even more water-resistant than other areas of the bathroom. The walls will frequently come into contact with water and steam here – and small puddles can sometimes form against the shower walls. Nevertheless, you can design a shower without tiles without any problems.
Planning of a seamless bathroom
If you're considering remodeling your bathroom without tiles or creating a DIY seamless bathroom in a new build, some advance planning is definitely recommended. A lot of the materials require certain application methods, and/or they'll need to be properly sealed so no moisture can get into the gaps. If seamless bathrooms have a disadvantage, it is the slightly greater amount of time and effort involved in installation. As a result, seamless bathrooms can involve higher initial costs if you need to hire specialists.
Ultimately, though, this really depends on the materials you end up choosing for your seamless bathroom. Getting detailed information from specialist retailers can help a lot, so you'll know how extensive the requirements are in advance.
