Walk-in shower, splashing water, do I need a door?

Well, doors and especially the [Bänder (Scharniere)] have always been a bigger cleaning effort... So if it can be done without, I would rather do it without.

I also consider 80 cm to be too little. And, if in the end you conclude it has to be a door, then it should definitely be able to open inward, upwards against the wall. That way, you don't have the drip water problem on the outside.

I could imagine 95/65 cm. One should perhaps also check in which standard widths the shower doors are available and initially try without, to then possibly retrofit.

I have "drawn" the shower with the dimensions 100x100cm on the floor. Looking at it like this, 100cm will never be enough to prevent water from splashing out. I am assuming at least 120cm, better 140cm. This is also confirmed by what I researched online. I should have "drawn" earlier :). It is very deceptive on paper.

Well, basically there is no objection to water splashing into the 160 cm area. It only becomes critical when it ends up outside the 100x160. A bath mat should be taken into account in front of the shower area. That is why I suggested dividing the 160 cm into 95/65 or so.

We are not worried about the 160 cm, I am quite sure that 95 will not be enough and the water will splash out.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

My bathroom with a level-access shower ... very small, therefore the shower is also pentagonal.


I have a folding shower door that opens inward, for over 10 years now. It usually only has splashes in the lower area. If my right shower wall were 95 cm long and the shower extended full width down to the bottom of the plan, I am pretty sure that only a few splashes would be outside the shower width. And those would sensibly be caught by a shower mat.

Therefore, in your case, based on my current experience, I would plan 95/65 (a standard shower door should fit there) and try it without a shower door at first.
