It’s the other way around with us, possibly because my husband enjoys the shower twice as long :)

By the way, for us it’s two meters in length by width RBM 100cm, with about 2/3 of the floor getting wet.

Personally, it wouldn’t bother me too much if some water spreads on the floor, as long as I don’t have to constantly wade through the puddle – after all, we are talking about a bathroom :D

...the drainage area (slope) should be between 80-100cm. After that, wiping is enough since there will only be splashes. These vary depending on the showerhead and showering behavior. For us, it's 180cm + splashes on the cabinet below.

In hindsight, we would prefer a closed version 1x1m again. Even with 100 cubic meters of ventilation, the 10 square meter bathroom fogs up quite quickly and heavily.

But of course, only we have this situation, because something is "not quite right" with us...

In the previous version, the bathroom walls only fogged up after showering.

We have a slope of 140cm, the partition wall will be 120cm (it's in the garage :)). So far, there are splashes up to about 150cm at least. But everything fits because this area is not a walkway for us, otherwise I would have made either a deeper shower or a door. If the area in front of the shower is naturally a walkway, that wouldn’t be so great. By the way, we have the Hansgrohe Raindance Select E 360 (I can only recommend it!).

Our shower wall (masonry) is 1.50m long, with a "side entry," without a door. Although some water splashes out occasionally, we always have a towel or shower mat in front of the "entry," so the few splashes are not a problem. It's not that bad, there are no puddles or anything, just small splashes! I wouldn't make it shorter either if space allows, at least 1.40m or otherwise with a door...

Thank you for your experiences and opinions. It has helped me a lot.

I have quickly expanded the dimensions of the shower in the shell construction from 1 x 1 meter to 1.20 x 100, and when I stand in there like that, it will just fit to get away without flooding ;-)
