Hello everyone,
I need your advice 🙂. We are currently planning the bathroom in a new build. I have attached the bathroom layout.
The shower area is L-shaped, measuring 160x100cm (63x39 inches). The "open wall" is 80cm (31 inches) long, and the entrance to the shower is also 80cm (31 inches).
Question: Is the 80cm (31 inches) wall length enough to prevent water splashing outside the shower area? Or would it be better to install a door?
According to a consultant at the sanitary supply store, this should be sufficient. However, I have read online that a minimum length of 120-140cm (47-55 inches) is recommended.
P.S.: The thick wall between the toilet and shower likely contains the service shaft.

I don’t even have a rain shower or anything like that. At least 100cm (39 inches) would be necessary, and even then only with a bath mat. But I think that would work.

I suspected as much, so a glass door it is.

Bertram1005 Oct 2022 19:44L-shaped shower? No, as shown here, I have a rectangular shower measuring 90cm by 180cm (35 inches by 71 inches). I find 80cm (31 inches) a bit narrow and would widen it to 90cm (35 inches) if possible. My shower valve is installed on the "head" side inside the shower. I chose this length to prevent water from splashing out and to avoid having a door that requires maintenance. 😀
If I were you, I wouldn’t place the toilet in the farthest corner either. The toilet is used most often, maybe even during half-asleep trips at night. 😉
