Wet room with stand alone tub.
Many new wet rooms include a shower space and freestanding tub in their own glass enclosure separate from the sink and toilet areas.
I hope to post pictures of what we are currently doing instead as soon as it s done.

In a humid wet environment like an enclosed glass shower there was no way to waterproof the 2 pieces of the tub itself let alone the floor beneath the tub drain with or without a raised platform.
A wet room is a space fully constructed with materials designed to get wet.
Make sure your walls are waterproofed up to a height of 6 feet in your shower and tub area s primary wet zone.
Also note how deep the tub is.
We opted out of that design.
For the indecisive having a stand alone tub in a walk in shower is a convenient way to enjoy the best of both worlds especially when you re tight on space or designing around a quirky layout.
Sometimes this means outfitting an entire bathroom in water friendly materials.
Waterproofing behind and under tubs with little wiggle room can be difficult so i always suggest that clients install tubs like this for practicality and cost savings.
The downsides of a large tub are that it takes up more room in the bathroom and it can be difficult to maneuver through any doors hallways and staircases necessary to reach the bathroom.
