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,

It also depends on the showering habits.
I now have a glass shower enclosure, and when my wife showers, the entire floor in front of the entry is completely wet afterwards. Whether this happens during or after the shower—I have no idea.
When I shower, there are really only a few drops.

Of course, many things are possible, and it especially depends on your shower habits, but 70cm (28 inches) in length with only a 50cm (20 inches) entrance seems more like a last resort. Whether this justifies installing a bidet if it essentially prevents comfortable showering...?
There are also 140cm (55 inches) bathtubs... but I’m not sure if that’s what I want...

It is easier to clean a full glass wall than a half-height wall combined with a glass panel. Depending on the design, there might be an edge or a shelf on top of the wall, which makes cleaning significantly more complicated.
Wiping down a glass panel doesn’t take long, and it only takes about 5 seconds longer if it is 2m (6 ft 7 in) high instead of 1m (3 ft 3 in).
The lotus effect eventually wears off.
But how about a good water softening system? I would personally be interested in how well that works and what costs it involves.

I’m wondering if there is some kind of nano- or lotus-effect film/coating that really works long-term. Something that lets water bead off without leaving residue. It could be expensive if it lasts accordingly…
