What is a wet room door? Wet room doors explained simply!

A moisture-resistant door, like a wet-room door, is a functional door with water-resistant properties. However, a moisture room is not the same as a wet room, and therefore different requirements apply to each type of door.

Moisture Rooms and Moisture-Resistant Doors

A moisture room is a room or area with high humidity, such as a bathroom without a window. A room that must be damp-mopped every day can also be considered a moisture room, such as treatment rooms, certain hotel areas, or sanitary facilities.

A moisture-resistant door must withstand splashing water, condensation, and short-term high humidity without damage. Its core can be made of solid particleboard or tubular particleboard; this is not particularly important. What matters is that the bottom edge is protected against moisture so that water cannot penetrate the door core. If this happens, the door leaf will deform, and cracks may develop once the door dries again.

For this reason, the bottom edges of moisture-resistant doors are made of water-repellent materials such as HPL or CPL. The handles and hinges are made of rust-resistant materials such as stainless steel or aluminum.

Wet Rooms and Wet-Room Doors

A wet room is a room that has a floor drain to handle regularly occurring water. A typical wet room is a sauna, and hotel bathrooms or shower rooms are also examples.

A wet-room door must withstand significantly more water and humidity than a moisture-resistant door. It is exposed to constantly high humidity, heavy moisture, direct water contact, and even aggressive tile and floor cleaning agents.

Its surface must be made of water-repellent and durable HPL to protect the core from moisture penetration. The edges, especially the bottom edges, receive special protection because they come into contact with water particularly often. Naturally, a wet-room door must also have handles and hinges made of rust-resistant materials. The RAL Institute tests wet-room doors by exposing them to intensive water exposure and then examining them for damage.
