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,

Bertram1007 Sep 2020 14:29With a really good high-pressure hose (costs a fortune, you have to finance it through the bank) the job is done really quickly. With a cheap, low-quality hose, it’s really difficult and a lot of work.
A 70cm (27.5 inches) shower without water splashing out is possible if you choose a higher shower curb. We used to have an open shower with a curb of about 30cm (12 inches) in our rental apartment. That worked fine. It’s just not very attractive, but it works.

pagoni20207 Sep 2020 14:47After having experienced various types of showers over the years, and with my own shower habits being more important than appearance, I prefer the option with a half-height wall and exterior-mounted glass for the upcoming house.
I simply like this version the most. Additionally, over the last 30 years, there was always something different, from snail-shaped designs to others elsewhere. In the end, it’s just a shower, and it should be exactly how it suits the person showering — me — best.
I enjoy large window areas in living spaces but only to a limited extent in the shower. With the full glass shower, which is our second one here, I have to bend down to squeegee the glass, even though I have a good and expensive squeegee.
@Alessandro Yes, I agree, I know the system — Duscholux used to be close to us. There are also systems without any visible supports, although I like attractive, technical fittings; that doesn’t bother me because there are other things right next to them, like buttons on the wall, switches, metal rails, etc., so a stylish fitting doesn’t bother me.
We also have a young glazier who custom-makes everything for us, and we are very satisfied with him because he works with absolute precision.
@manohara I completely understand you. Beauty also comes from something working well and being tailored individually for me. For someone else, it might be different — but they don’t shower at my place, after all.
It’s like most things — one option works just as well as the other; often price is an important factor too, as I prefer not to overpay for current trends that will fade anyway.

But you can buy the 4-conductor cable that you connect to the LED strip in the exact length you need.
