You spread more water on the floor because you might not put a bath mat in front of the open shower. According to a colleague, there's more draft than in a closed cabin. But that's why I'm asking: Is it just a hype or are there real advantages that will make this the standard in the future?

Building cheaper is also possible, our BU says. And you can put a glass door in front of the niche for 500,-, then it won't splash as much.

The advantage is obvious. Barrier-free. Age-appropriate.

We have successfully resisted the hype of the open kitchen, we simply have no space for a dressing room. We now have floor-to-ceiling windows, not least because of this forum, but three of them. We are still considering the anthracite windows. They would probably look nicer on a yellow facade. But €1,800 more, just for a slightly better appearance? Difficult, especially when everything is already more expensive than expected and finances are getting tighter. On the other hand, additional costs often occur for some things on the floor that you don't even see. So you could actually spend a little money for something pleasing to the eye. Well, and now I was just thinking about the shower again, but actually it’s practically decided that we will install a shower tray. More difficult cleaning (of the grout) would also be an argument against the walk-in shower.
