Hello,
I am currently planning the bathroom (here, it’s called "badkamer"). Unfortunately, the bathroom has a difficult layout. There is a niche measuring 160cm (63 inches) in length and about 100cm (39 inches) in width. Would it be possible to install a walk-in shower there without flooding the bathroom when in use? 160cm (63 inches) in length seems quite short to me, as there would only be a glass partition of 110cm (43 inches). The shower entrance would be on the long side.
Or does anyone have other ideas for this bathroom? It should include a shower and one or two basins. Additionally, a radiator and possibly a cabinet for storage are needed.

hampshire3 Jan 2020 09:02I just did a practical test. The water splashes up to the hanging towels next to the shower. The floor tiles are 60cm x 60cm (24 inches x 24 inches). The tile on the wall side is slightly shortened. The tiled shower bench doesn’t significantly stop the water when using the overhead rain shower. The height is about 180cm (71 inches). The split tile already has a slope. Using a squeegee to wipe down is part of the shower routine.


We have the shower installed at the front end with access from the short side.

When I shower, the water reaches about 140cm (55 inches), for my husband it reaches up to 200cm (79 inches). That is also the length of the shower.
It definitely makes a difference where the shower is installed – whether lengthwise or widthwise.

How many threads does the same bathroom need?

Bertram1004 Jan 2020 22:3311ant, I think I will need a total of six threads. So, a few more will be added.
And how many useless posts from 11ant does this thread really need?
Just imagine that I made a mistake due to confusion and lack of knowledge. Your grumpy, silly, arrogant, and unnecessary question is not helpful at all. You can contribute something useful to the thread if you want. If not, that’s fine too, no problem.
You can also express your comment in a reasonable tone—it doesn’t have to be so condescending. Unless you think you’re being smart or superior by doing so, in which case at least you benefit. It certainly doesn’t help me and just makes me feel uncomfortable when someone reacts so harshly to a mistake. I didn’t create the duplicate thread on purpose.

Bertram1005 Jan 2020 17:07Thanks, al3x. What you wrote is very clear.
In this thread, the idea was brought up that I could install both a shower and a bathtub. That’s possible, but I have dismissed the idea. I really don’t take baths often, so it doesn’t seem worthwhile to me. So there is plenty of space left for the shower. If I go with 180cm (70 inches), the shower always seems to break up the room somehow. Hmm, where is the best place to position the shower?
