Hello,
does anyone here perhaps have practical experience?
What size should a walk-in "open" (3 walls) shower with floor-level entry have to prevent water from splashing out significantly?

When I shower, the spray reaches about 1 - 1.20 m (3.3 - 4 feet). When my wife showers, the 1.60 m (5.25 feet) length of our shower is sometimes slightly exceeded 😉For us, it’s the opposite, probably because my husband enjoys his shower twice as long 🙂
By the way, our shower is two meters (6.6 feet) long with a width of RBM 100 cm (about 3.3 feet), and roughly two-thirds of the floor gets wet.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind a little water spreading on the floor, as long as I don’t have to constantly walk through puddles – after all, we are talking about a bathroom 😀
Best regards
...the drainage area (slope) should be between 80-100cm (31-39 inches). After that, just wiping is sufficient, as there will only be splashes. These vary in extent depending on the showerhead and showering habits. In our case, 180cm (71 inches) plus splashes reach the cabinet underneath.
In hindsight, we would have preferred a closed version measuring 1x1m (3.3x3.3 feet) again. Even with a 100 cubic meter (3,530 cubic feet) ventilation rate, the 10 square meter (108 square feet) bathroom fogs up quite quickly and severely.
But of course, only we have this situation,
because something is "not quite right" with our setup...
With the previous version, the bathroom walls only fogged up after showering.

We have a slope of 140cm (55 inches), and the partition wall is 120cm (47 inches) high (it's located inside the garage 🙂). So far, there are splashes up to about 150cm (59 inches) at least. But it works fine because this area is not a walkway for us; otherwise, I would have gone for a deeper shower or added a door.
If the area in front of the shower is naturally a walkway, that wouldn’t be ideal.
By the way, we have the Hansgrohe Raindance Select E 360 (I can only recommend it!).

Our shower wall (masonry) is 1.50 m long (5 feet), with a side entry and no door.
There are occasionally some splashes outside, but we always have a towel or bath mat in front of the entry, so a few splashes aren’t an issue.
It’s not that bad at all—there are no puddles or anything, just a few splatters!
I wouldn’t make it any shorter if space allows—at least 1.40 m (4.6 feet), or otherwise with a door.

Thank you for your experiences and opinions. They have been very helpful to me.
I quickly increased the shower dimensions during the shell construction from 1 x 1 meter to 1.20 x 1 meter (4 x 4 feet to 4 x 3.3 feet), and when I stand in there, it will just barely fit to avoid any flooding ;-)
