Hello forum,

your collective knowledge is needed once again. Our shower measures 1.40x1m. The entry should be on the 1.40m long side. Since the offer from our plumber for a glass wall/door seems too expensive, we are wondering if a Walk-IN shower would be sufficient?

We understand that it will splash somewhat. However, we have enough slope and a small towel in front should also suffice.

How wide should the entrance to the shower be? 70cm <- -> 70cm or rather 80cm - 60cm?
Currently, we have a corner shower in an old building with a 40cm wide entrance.

Best regards
m

we have two shower niches, one 1.2m wide and 1.5m deep, showerhead sprays in 1.5m direction, hardly any splashes. The other 1m wide and 1m deep, showerhead sprays more out, now with tension rod and fabric!!!- shower curtain no splashing out. If you have the showerhead on the side wall, it splashes out less.

The showerhead is on the left sidewall, so I'm less worried about that. More concern is about the entry width. Is 65cm enough or should it be more?

70, it is said, is the minimum for passages.

Our entry point is always the full niche width, comfortable of course

40 cm diagonally measured across the corner and 65 cm are practically the same. Whether it is sufficient for you, you know if you have it now.
