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 and no, I simply moved them downwards. The left wall is rebuilt in both versions.

Then you can also build the wall in combination with the corner bathtub. Masonry walls increase the surface area that needs to be tiled / plastered / painted, which means higher costs. So you can't really consider it in isolation.

First of all, thank you again for your effort!

I have attached your suggestion again here (it’s already been six pages ago ). For me, the corner bathtub at 1.89 m (6 ft 2 in) actually seems smaller than a 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) bathtub!? When I check Re_ter.de and look at the sketches of corner bathtubs that would still fit in our bathroom (1.5 m (5 ft) width/length), I can only lie in the tub with bent legs.

Hello,
normally I’m not really a fan of corner bathtubs. But somehow I had the idea that it might fit well for you:

With the 115cm (45 inches) interior length of your Kaldewei, it won’t be any different. For comparison: our corner bathtub, with a 150cm (59 inches) leg length, has an interior length of 127cm (50 inches). In that, I can comfortably lie down with my legs stretched out, and I am 180cm (71 inches) tall.

Gladly

So, after a brief search, I found some corner bathtubs with leg lengths around 150cm (59 inches) and a base length of, for example, 138cm (54 inches) (Galatea S202 corner bathtub SUN 150 x 150) or 131cm (52 inches) (corner bathtub Largo 150 x 150 cm (1032)).

Especially 175cm (69 inches) bathtubs all seem to have a base length under 120cm (47 inches).

You’re already looking at Reuter, good.
If you compare some corner bathtubs there at the actual price with the Duo Classic, the extra cost for a corner bathtub might not necessarily be higher with your plumber. Perhaps an asymmetrical bathtub could also be an option? Some are also deeper, so even if you’re tall, you can still bathe comfortably.
