Hello everyone,
I’m at a loss about how to plan our bathroom. It’s 220cm (87 inches) wide and 400cm (157 inches) long. Everything will definitely fit in as shown in the picture. We also want to include a double sink about 150cm (59 inches) wide.
What’s causing us headaches is the shower. We would like something easy to maintain, but it shouldn’t turn the bathroom into a long, dark corridor. That’s why a 140–150cm (55–59 inches) walk-in shower is not an option. (Because then there would only be about 70cm (28 inches) of space left between the shower and the sink, which wouldn’t leave enough room for the sink.)
Therefore, we are considering a shower with two half walls. One, facing the toilet, would be half-height with glass, and the other possibly built up to the ceiling. However, I’m not sure if 70cm (28 inches) is enough to prevent water from splashing outside. I know that a straight water spray requires about 150cm (59 inches) to keep everything dry, but how far does the water splash sideways?
Does anyone have a shower like this and can share their experience? Or does anyone have other ideas on how we could do this? The bathroom designer suggested a shower with a 120cm (47 inches) glass sliding door, but that seems like too much cleaning work for me.
Thanks very much and best regards,

Did you install the glass panel yourself or have it done? Is the track on the floor the glass guide? I had it installed. The glass panel is only held by the tracks on the floor and the wall. No additional stabilizer is needed.
But apparently this only works up to a length of 140cm (55 inches).

I have two questions about your photo:
1. You mentioned "glass stabilizers mounted from the ceiling."
But there is nothing mounted on the ceiling in the picture?
2. There is a visible silver strip all around (except on the ceiling side and below the window on the right), but no visible end of a glass panel? The glass panel and its fixing cost a bit more, but therefore no stabilizer is required.
That’s probably why the model is called "Duscholux AIR."
What do you mean by the end of the glass panel?

What do you mean by the edge of the glass pane?When a pane ends in open space, you can see the edge. I don’t see anything in the photo...

Hello Alessandro, I have a question about your really great shower: how *deep* is it?
Best regards
