Hi!

We would really appreciate some quick ideas, as we can only present a new proposal later this week.

Unfortunately, we only noticed quite late that the developer planned a relatively short glass partition for the open shower (about 85cm (33 inches)). Now we’re a bit worried about frequent water splashes throughout half of the bathroom.

The bathroom is only 10 m² (108 sq ft) in size, measuring 2.85 x 3.55 m (9.4 x 11.6 ft). As shown in the sketch, we have two windows, which don’t exactly make the planning easier. The bathtub will be 180 x 80 cm (71 x 31 inches) and the vanity with double sinks will be 120–140 cm (47–55 inches) wide.

I already looked it up and found references to these so-called “T-walls.” However, I can’t find any practical ideas on how they could be planned in this case.

Do you have any suggestions, or is the concern about the shower partition unnecessary?

Best regards & thanks for your help!

Yes, that could be one option, but is having 50cm (20 inches) of space in front of the toilet better than a 50-55cm (20-22 inches) entrance to the shower? Unfortunately, neither is ideal.

There would be more space on the right side of the plan.

You will probably have to make a compromise.

I would choose the compromise that annoys me the least over the next 30 years: reach into your wallet and take out the money for the corner bathtub.

If necessary, skip this sink if you can install it later.
I would also lean towards the corner option.

More than €1,600.00?

Our developer is already asking for 1,600 EUR for the 180x80cm (71x31 inches) Kaldewei Duo Classic. ...

By the way, the 170x75cm (67x30 inches) model is a Kaldewei Saniform Plus.

... I don’t even want to imagine the unrealistically high price we’d get for a corner bathtub.

Otherwise, people often say, "You only build once" … "It’s for the long term" (you all know that yourselves), but eventually, there comes a time when it just doesn’t work anymore.

The additional glass wall, which would normally be necessary, is not available for 200 euros either.

I stand by that.

I will need a glass wall anyway, even with your corner bathtub solution.

A glass wall by the door, yes. In your last two drafts, you have each time “built in” an additional one on the lower side of the shower plan.
