Hello everyone!
As shown in the picture, we are planning a walk-in shower in a corner at floor level. The partition wall next to the bathtub is currently planned to be 75cm long (30 inches). We are unsure whether 75cm is enough to prevent water from splashing out of the shower. The lower wall of 45cm (18 inches) also seems too short, and we expect water might splash out here as well.
The shower mixer is installed in the center of the upper wall.
We are now looking for solutions to enclose the shower, for example by extending a wall, installing doors, fixed glass panels, and so on. Do you have any suggestions?
Furthermore, we haven’t yet decided how high the partition wall next to the bathtub should be—whether to install a glass panel on top of a 120cm (47 inch) high wall or to extend the wall all the way to the ceiling.
Thank you very much for your replies.

Bertram1006 Apr 2020 14:28Ideally, you should wipe down the glass panels briefly after every shower. With tiles, this seems less necessary. In older bathrooms, the grout lines are always unattractive, including the silicone seals. If you don’t wipe the tiles, the consequences show up in the long run, whereas with glass panels, issues appear quite quickly. So, glass is preferable. I’m personally very lazy when it comes to cleaning, but I still chose glass. Cleaning effort versus light exposure, or cleaning effort with no light and, in the worst-case scenario, grout mold leading to the absolute worst case: "new tiles." For these reasons, glass makes a lot of sense.
Only a shower curtain or a fully open design beats both tiles and glass when it comes to minimizing cleaning effort.

My shower is quite similar... Floor plan:
I installed a folding door that opens inward towards the lower side of the sloped ceiling. Unfortunately, it’s hard to capture well in photos:
On the left, you can see the folding door opened inward. And you can also spot it reflected in the mirror below:
The advantage is that water droplets run downwards into the shower area instead of outside the shower.
I’ve been using this setup for about 8 years now and would definitely do it the same way again.

knalltüte6 Apr 2020 19:29My brother-in-law, a trained plumbing technician and now MEP planner, says that even with 120cm (47 inches) there will be water on the floor in front without a partition. However, he assumes that the shower head will be mounted on the short side. He cleans the bathroom after each use with a squeegee. ops:
P.S. I am now planning about 135cm (53 inches) deep without a door or anything and hope not to flood the bathroom every time.

Bertram1006 Apr 2020 21:21I currently have a shower measuring 180x90 with the showerhead on the short side. The glass panel is 120cm (47 inches) long. The water splashes up to about 140cm (55 inches), although I only use a handheld showerhead and not a rain shower, and I am rather short myself. 135cm (53 inches) might work, depending on how strong your shower spray is.
