ᐅ Connection between bathtub and shower

Created on: 11 Apr 2015 09:49

Hello everyone,

we are currently working on the detailed bathroom planning for the upper floor. The overall layout roughly looks like the picture. My question is what to do with the gap between the bathtub and the shower. One suggestion was simply to enlarge the shower (130x90 cm (51x35 inches)) and extend it up to the bathtub. My wife mentioned that she actually likes this "gap" (~45 cm (18 inches)) because it could be used to hang bathrobes. A third option would be to extend the bathtub with some kind of shelf or ledge. What would you recommend?

If you have a knee wall height of 1.55m (5 feet 1 inch) (top in the picture), you cannot place a shower there.

The knee wall is exactly 1.55 m (5 feet 1 inch) high with a roof slope of 45°.

I would make the shower larger and enclose it entirely with glass. I wouldn’t build any walls in that small space. Possibly a combination of enlarging the shower and adding shelf space for the bathtub.

No space for the bathrobes 😀 but yeah, I think Legurit is somewhat right - otherwise, you usually end up with a kind of grimy nook there.

So, we are currently selecting the sanitary fixtures and the design of the bathrooms. I can tell you, apart from the shower door, no glass will go into the kids' bathroom for me. Much easier to maintain! 😉

I would therefore build walls and shelf space around the bathtub.

Who cleans the glass in the children's bathroom?
