A Performance Assessment of Prefabricated Bathrooms Installed in the 1990s

Morelli, Martin / Brandt, Erik

Abstract This chapter describe the design and build up of wet rooms (bathrooms and rooms with similar exposure to water and high relative humidity) in Denmark with emphasis on wet rooms made as part of a Danish research project—Project Renovation. In this project, 19 different types of bathrooms were made in new untraditional ways. A number of these bathrooms covering 11 different types were surveyed after approximately 20 years of use. The survey aimed at evaluating the bathrooms’ condition based on a non-destructive inspection. In general, the bathrooms are in good condition and perform well compared with traditionally made bathrooms. The paper describes the methodology developed to assess bathrooms and gives examples of the results.
