Hello everyone,
I need your advice 🙂. We are currently planning the bathroom in a new build. I have attached the bathroom layout.
The shower area is L-shaped, measuring 160x100cm (63x39 inches). The "open wall" is 80cm (31 inches) long, and the entrance to the shower is also 80cm (31 inches).
Question: Is the 80cm (31 inches) wall length enough to prevent water splashing outside the shower area? Or would it be better to install a door?
According to a consultant at the sanitary supply store, this should be sufficient. However, I have read online that a minimum length of 120-140cm (47-55 inches) is recommended.
P.S.: The thick wall between the toilet and shower likely contains the service shaft.

motorradsilke5 Oct 2022 22:08We have an open shower measuring 150 x 120cm (59 x 47 inches). The narrow side is open, and the showerhead is on the opposite narrow side. Even the 150cm (59 inches) length is not enough to prevent splashing throughout the rest of the bathroom. The side glass panel also gets wet all the way to the front, so water would splash out sideways as well.

allstar835 Oct 2022 22:13We have an 80cm (31.5 inch) wall and a 70cm (27.5 inch) opening. That works for us. The drain is located at the back of the wall. There is a slight slope at the entrance. It’s probably more a question of how you prefer to shower. Without a door, it might feel colder for the girls. It doesn’t bother me. I think it’s great without a door—it’s easier to clean and so on. I shower a lot. Occasionally, water splashes outside, but you sometimes get wet feet anyway.
