AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Former (All Sizes)

AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Formers – All Sizes

The AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Former is a market-leading solution for creating level-access wet rooms and walk-in showers, offering exceptional strength, reliability, and compliance with accessibility standards. Trusted across residential, healthcare, and assisted-living environments, it is engineered for long-term performance, easy installation, and complete peace of mind.

Manufactured from high-density compressed Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), the AKW Tuff Form provides outstanding strength, moisture resistance, and impact durability. Unlike lower-grade plastic shower formers that can flex or degrade over time, this robust wet room former supports loads of up to 381kg (60 stone), making it suitable for family bathrooms, mobility-adapted homes, care facilities, and clinical settings.

With a low-profile depth of just 22mm, the Tuff Form installs flush with surrounding floor finishes or screed, creating a true step-free shower area. This ensures smooth, safe access while maintaining excellent water management—an essential requirement for accessible and inclusive bathroom design.

Designed for installation on both timber and solid concrete floors, the Tuff Form is suitable for new builds and refurbishment projects alike. The offset waste outlet is strategically positioned to avoid joists and existing pipework, giving installers greater flexibility and reducing installation time.

The AKW Tuff Form is compatible with a wide range of wet room floor finishes. It provides a solid base for slip-resistant vinyl safety flooring, commonly used in care environments, or ceramic and porcelain tiles for a sleek, modern appearance. Vinyl installations can be completed using AKW’s clamp kit for a secure, watertight seal, while tiled installations benefit from the former’s rigidity and compatibility with waterproofing membranes.

Available in multiple sizes, the AKW Tuff Form is a versatile, professional-grade choice for bathrooms of all layouts, delivering trusted UK engineering and consistent, high-quality results.
