Create a reliable, fully level-access shower base with the AKW Tuff Form 1000 x 1000mm Wet Floor Former (21008) – a professional-grade solution designed for modern wet room installations.

Ideal for accessible bathrooms, walk-in showers and contemporary wet room designs, this wet floor former provides a durable and stable base while maintaining a slim 22mm low-profile design that integrates easily into standard floor constructions.

Manufactured from high-strength Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), the AKW Tuff Form offers exceptional strength and durability while supporting loads of up to 381kg (60 stone).

The 1000 x 1000mm square layout provides a generous showering area while remaining compact enough for many residential bathrooms and en-suite wet room installations.

Product Overview

The AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Former 1000x1000mm is engineered to provide a strong and reliable foundation for level-access wet rooms.

Its square footprint makes it a versatile option for many wet room layouts, providing more showering space than smaller formers while maintaining a practical size for typical bathroom installations.

The trim-to-fit design allows installers to cut up to 150mm from three sides, enabling easy adjustments around joists, pipework or irregular floor structures while maintaining the former’s structural integrity.

An offset waste outlet helps simplify installation by allowing the waste pipe to be positioned more easily around floor joists or existing plumbing.

Compatible with both gravity waste systems and pumped waste systems, the AKW Tuff Form offers flexibility for installers working across a range of wet room projects.
