this is about planning the bathroom, especially the shower area in the master bathroom.
The plan is for a walk-in shower with a width of 1.20 meters (4 feet) and a depth of 1.50 meters (5 feet).
It will be flush with the floor, with a stainless steel drain installed at floor level.
Now I am wondering whether to build the partition wall from the existing Poroton bricks up to a height of 2.00 meters (6.5 feet) or to install a glass panel instead.
The clear room height is 2.72 meters (9 feet).
I am torn between the two options. Maintenance, cost-wise the brick is probably cheaper.
The shower opening faces the window.
Do you have any ideas or tips? This bathroom is driving me crazy.

As far as I know, it’s only available in the BENELUX countries, but it’s an eye-catcher and very low maintenance. 10 seconds with the squeegee and you’re done.
It comes in 2 sizes and also without a shower tray. (The curved wall is a bit tricky for the tiler because of the slope;) )

pagoni202017 Nov 2020 08:57Over the past few years, we have tried both versions, and our absolute favorite is the half-and-half solution—roughly half built or tiled up to about waist height, with a glass panel on top.
I find your width of 120cm (47 inches) a bit too large, even though I generally prefer things to be roomier, and it doesn’t really provide any comfort benefits. In my opinion, 100cm (39 inches) width is perfectly sufficient and comfortable.
Currently, I have 90 x 140cm (35 x 55 inches) here, and I plan to do the same in the new build, with the 10cm (4 inches) masonry up to a height of 120cm (47 inches), so the upper part is 100cm (39 inches) wide.
A length of 140cm (55 inches) is completely sufficient; in our second bathroom we even have 120cm (47 inches) with a half glass side panel, which also works well. So your 150cm (59 inches) length is great! Some friends have a depth of 200cm (79 inches), which starts to feel like a cave.
What I like about the half-and-half solution is that I can easily remove the glass panel without having to bend down all the time. The large glass front looks stylish, but half of the glass is quite low, which I find quite inconvenient.
If you place the glass on the outer edge, it naturally creates a shelf inside at the right height.
