I am also curious on whether people like this idea or dislike it .... I personally think that it would be very hard to clean around the back, sides and base of the tub. I also think you would be constantly cleaning the inside and outside of the tub even though you haven’t actually used the tub for bathing but only from the over spray from showering (shampoo, conditioner,soap, hair ..... not sure if my thoughts are founded ....

The combination of the tub and shower consolidates the wet areas usually for the purpose of moving from one to the other. This was a personal preference of the client's.

I have been wondering the same thing. I am really wanting to do this but that is the one thing that keeps going on in my mind. Darn OCD😄😄😄

In the large Master Bath with a cathedral ceiling in the NE staying warm is a problem This enclosure would really help. (1980's construction; I guess it was a good idea at the time.)
