AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Former (All Sizes)
AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Formers – All Sizes Available at Competitive Prices
The AKW Tuff Form Wet Floor Former is a trusted, high-performance solution for creating stylish, safe, and fully accessible wet room shower spaces. As one of the most widely used wet room formers in both the domestic and healthcare sectors, the Tuff Form is engineered to deliver long-term durability, easy installation, and full compliance with accessibility standards.
Constructed from compressed Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) — a material known for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to moisture and impact — the Tuff Form offers outstanding structural integrity. Unlike inferior plastic trays that can flex or degrade over time, this robust design can comfortably withstand weights of up to 381kg (60 stone), making it ideal for high-demand environments, including multi-user households, nursing homes, adapted living spaces, and care facilities.
The Tuff Form’s low-profile 22mm depth allows it to sit flush with surrounding floorboards or screed, creating a truly level-access shower area without steps or raised edges. This makes it a preferred choice for mobility-friendly bathrooms, where ease of entry and water containment are essential for safety and comfort.
Designed for installation on both timber and concrete floor types, the Tuff Form can be integrated into new builds or retrofitted into existing bathrooms with minimal disruption. Its offset waste outlet is intelligently positioned to avoid common obstacles such as floor joists or existing pipework, allowing installers greater flexibility when planning drainage connections.
Another standout feature of the Tuff Form is its compatibility with a wide range of wet room finishes. Whether you’re opting for non-slip vinyl safety flooring — commonly used in care and assisted-living settings — or ceramic or porcelain tiles for a more modern, luxury look, the Tuff Form provides a secure, stable foundation for your wet room floor. For vinyl installations, AKW’s clamp kit ensures a watertight seal around the drain area, while tiled applications benefit from the former’s firm surface and compatibility with waterproof tanking systems.
From straightforward home renovations to complex accessibility upgrades, the AKW Tuff Form offers professional-grade performance, reliable manufacturing quality, and a thoughtful design that meets the demands of both installers and end users. With a wide selection of sizes available, it’s a highly versatile solution suited to bathrooms of all shapes and dimensions.
