A wet room floor slopes towards an inset drain where water will drain away. To create this gradient, a plywood sub-floor or a sloping shower tray former is installed and then tiled over. It’s likely your floor will need to be strengthened to take the extra weight. It must also be raised by about 5cm to allow for the waste fittings.
