As shown in the picture, we are planning a walk-in shower in a corner at floor level. The partition wall next to the bathtub is currently planned to be 75cm long (30 inches). We are unsure whether 75cm is enough to prevent water from splashing out of the shower. The lower wall of 45cm (18 inches) also seems too short, and we expect water might splash out here as well.
The shower mixer is installed in the center of the upper wall.
We are now looking for solutions to enclose the shower, for example by extending a wall, installing doors, fixed glass panels, and so on. Do you have any suggestions?
Furthermore, we haven’t yet decided how high the partition wall next to the bathtub should be—whether to install a glass panel on top of a 120cm (47 inch) high wall or to extend the wall all the way to the ceiling.
Thank you very much for your replies.
Viola and Stefan

I often wonder why so many people use glass panels as shower enclosures.Glass allows more light to pass through than most other materials. Using glass as a partition can help create a more spacious feeling in the room.
Yes, it’s this decision regarding lighting and cleaning that I find surprising.
For me, "labor savings" clearly outweigh most other criteria in the majority of cases.
But:
People are different – and that’s a good thing.
My shower is enclosed with granite slabs (because it is quite dark inside, I installed extra lighting).
