Perfect for walk-in wet rooms, disabled bathrooms and contemporary shower spaces, this rectangular wet floor former provides a strong and durable foundation while maintaining a slim 22mm low-profile design that integrates easily into timber floor constructions.

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

The 1400 x 900mm size provides a generous showering area, making it ideal for larger wet room layouts, accessible bathrooms and assisted showering environments where additional space improves comfort and usability.

Product Overview

The AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Former 1400x900mm is engineered to provide a stable and long-lasting base for level-access wet room installations.

Its rectangular footprint offers a larger showering space than standard square formers while still fitting within many residential bathroom layouts, making it suitable for both domestic and commercial wet room projects.

The trim-to-fit design allows installers to remove up to 150mm from three sides, enabling easy on-site adjustments around joists, pipework or irregular floor layouts without compromising structural strength.

An offset waste outlet helps simplify installation and provides flexibility when positioning drainage within timber floor constructions.

Compatible with both gravity waste systems and pumped waste systems, the AKW Tuff Form provides installers with a versatile and reliable wet room solution.
