Bathroom planning - Shower without door

By the way, you should keep that the wall towards the shower is not full height. That way the steam can escape well at the top .. towards the ventilation system or window. It has definitely proven itself for me.

Definitely the first option. Our shower is about the same as yours (1.80m long) and the opening is also on the side. We even hang the towels inside the shower and they never get wet. Even in front of the shower opening it is hardly wet. Doorless showers that are open to the front are much more prone to bathroom flooding or the shower wall should be at least 2m long and even longer. As for brightness, I also see no problem. A few spotlights and that’s it.

We initially planned the same - a long shower, open on the side at the end. But then the bathroom planner opened our eyes - you end up with a huge hose where you stand at the back and shower, but the entire front part is completely unused. Showering with two people there isn’t really nice either, because the width usually stays around 90-100 cm. We also didn’t want glass - now we’ve been "persuaded" and the showerhead (45 cm wide) hangs in the middle, a glass door opens inward (or on both sides), so that you don’t really notice it visually at first and at the same time the door can drip off. Everyone as they like, but maybe just as a thought.

you then have a huge hose where you stand in the back and shower, but leave the entire front part completely unused. .

I wouldn’t know how else to use the "useless" front area. On the contrary, on the exterior wall we have space for a nice cabinet and inside we hang our shower towels. That way you don’t have to go out first to dry yourself, but can already do it in the shower.
And the toilet, bathtub, double sink, and bench also found a place in our small bathroom (10m2).

Glass would never have been an option for me. You can see every water spot on it and the hinges collect dirt. If it gets too cold for me in the shower during winter, we put up a nice curtain. We have that in the kids' shower too and everyone likes it that way.

I don’t want any other shower anymore. But as Lexmaul79 wrote: everyone to their own taste. There is no right or wrong or better or worse.

Hello,

I would definitely prefer option 1 as well - No. 2 is really critical because of the sloping roof and would probably also lead to the bathroom flooding if no door were installed.

Our shower is 2.4 m long and has a side entrance with a width of one meter.

We have installed a towel rack on the rear end wall where the towels actually stay dry.

Showering together is very comfortable for us with an interior width of 1.10 m.

The walls of our shower go up to the ceiling - lower walls with a "ventilation gap" to the ceiling would not have worked for us because I am 1.90 m tall and the shower head we installed should hang at least 30 cm above the head in order to function properly.
The exhaust of our controlled residential ventilation system is located on the rear end wall - however, not facing the shower but towards the toilet. We still do not have any moisture problems.

One more recommendation from me: In the front area, I would have a niche made in one of the side walls - shower gel, shampoo, etc. are then well stored there. In our case, this niche is as large as one of our wall tiles and tiled all around (also on top). The floor of the niche has a very slight slope towards the shower so that splashed water drains off, but nothing else falls out.
