Hello forum,
once again, we need your collective expertise. Our shower measures 1.40 x 1 meter (4 ft 7 in x 3 ft 3 in). The entrance is planned on the 1.40 meter (4 ft 7 in) long side. Since the quote from our plumber for a glass panel/door seems too expensive, we are wondering if a walk-in shower would be enough?
We understand that some splashing may occur. However, we have sufficient slope for drainage, and a small towel in front should be enough.
How wide should the shower entrance be? 70 cm (28 in) ↔ 70 cm (28 in), or would 80 cm (31 in) – 60 cm (24 in) be better? Currently, we have an old corner shower with a 40 cm (16 in) wide entrance.
Good luck

60cm (24 inches) can be sufficient. It’s not luxurious, though. What would actually be quite inadequate is the 80cm (31 inches) wall. When showering, you would feel as if you were standing half inside and half outside.
What about the window? How will it be protected?
Regarding accessibility: that can still be adjusted later if the need arises.

If you build with accessibility in mind from the start, it’s a luxury you allow yourself and provides a high level of comfort and ergonomics in the home, simply convenient. Sorry, but not just because of a partition!! You would have to sell a lift to everyone over 30 here then. You’re not installing an electric seat in the shower or a grab bar by the toilet now, are you? Or have you already? Do you? 😀
Accessibility is not just about having grab bars in the shower or near the toilet, or a seat.
At its simplest, it means a 1-meter (3.3 feet) sphere that can be rolled through the house.
In our old house, we quickly installed grab bars and a stool in the shower when my wife tore her Achilles tendon.
During that time, she slid up and down the stairs on her bottom.
I consider our accessible house to be very comfortable and ergonomic.
