Manufactured from high-strength Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), this professional-grade wet room former delivers exceptional structural strength while maintaining a slim 22mm profile, making it ideal for installations where floor height is limited.

Its trim-to-fit design allows installers to cut up to 150mm from three sides, enabling easy installation around joists, pipework, or irregular floor layouts without compromising structural integrity.
