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

As feedback: 75cm (30 inches) is visually and physically suitable. How wide is the shower there?
I am currently facing a similar issue:
In our new house, there will be a shower niche about 100cm (39 inches) deep and 130cm (51 inches) wide. The shower is on the right when you face it.
At the moment, there is a curtain in front, but we want to have a glass panel. When looking at niche doors with pivot hinges, the doors are usually between 58-68cm (23-27 inches) wide if there is a fixed glass panel next to them. A door 130cm (51 inches) wide is unfortunately not possible because the distance to the opposite wall is too small.
My wife has also mentioned that this might be too narrow for her.
Would a walk-in solution, like in the picture above, possibly work? Or is the width also too small for that?

We had two different showers installed here some time ago, and the smaller one is, for example, 120cm (47 inches) deep and 100cm (39 inches) wide, all without glass or curtain. On the wall side, we have a fixed glass panel about 25cm (10 inches) wide that protects the door.
Of course, this also depends—as always—on personal (shower) habits.

We installed a one-meter (3.3 feet) partition instead of a full shower panel to avoid plastering. We only use a shower curtain, which is very convenient and cost-effective.pagoni2020 schrieb:

I just quickly used Paint for this.
