Hi,
in our bathroom (the developer is currently building the house), the shower is to be installed in a corner. On the bathroom side (right side, see photo) no partition is planned. This can/should be done by us.
There are two options:
Either just a glass panel on the right, leaving the shower open on one side, or
a glass panel on the right plus a door on the remaining side.
The shower has a floor-to-wall drain, so there is no shower tray.
Question:
How deep/long should the right side be to prevent the bathroom from flooding when using a rain shower?
And second question:
If we have this done by a glazier (area Munich), what is a fair price? According to Google Maps there seem to be thousands of glaziers offering this, and I obviously cannot contact them all.

Hello,
I would make the wall so that you can still comfortably enter from the front left (passage at least 80cm (31 inches)). So if the bathroom is 2.40m (7 ft 10 in) from top to bottom, I would make the shower screen about 1.40 to 1.60m (4 ft 7 in to 5 ft 3 in) long.
For our old bathroom in the apartment, I found a shower screen from a supplier via the large platform with A…. At that time, it cost half as much as at the local hardware store, including on-time delivery to the apartment. Installation was no problem with two people and some technical skill.

. I wouldn’t go to the glazier but to the plumbing supplier who offers suitable shower partitions and doors. We have a quote here for a pivot-fold door, 100cm by 200cm (40 inches by 79 inches), made of real glass, with shiny silver fittings, including delivery and installation for about 900 euros. So for the corner solution, you’re looking at roughly 1500 to 2000 euros. It’s definitely much cheaper at the DIY store as well. If the glazier also offers it cheaper, let me know.Why should you go to the plumbing supplier? They are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than glaziers and have a major drawback: they mostly offer only standard sizes.

There is only minimal splashing; we always place a bath mat or a towel in front of it anyway.Grym schrieb:
Likewise, you should of course place a towel on the floor behind the 1.20m (4 feet) mark.I find that terrible and would always try to avoid it, especially with underfloor heating where the floor can easily be walked on barefoot. It’s better to extend the shower screen by 10–20cm (4–8 inches).

DragonyxXL15 Dec 2015 11:40That wouldn’t be for me, constantly dealing with a wet cloth. Since the towel rack is located near the shower in our case, my idea is that after turning off the shower, I can comfortably walk over to the towel, with most of the water already dripping off my body, and then use the towel to dry the rest. From my point of view, there shouldn’t be any puddles. The cozy warmth doesn’t come from the towel but from the underfloor heating.
