Wet rooms also have a gently slopped, titled floor with a grated drain, so that all of the water can drain away quickly after the shower has been used. Some wet rooms have a glass screen in them, which is used to separate the shower zone from other areas in the room, where there could be a wash basin, a urinal or a toilet.
