My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shower Wall or Door?

10 years ago

We are currently building and have a shower that is 9' long and 5.5' wide, should we fully enclose it and have a door, or just do a partial glass wall? I don't like to be cold, so I'm worried about only having a partial wall, but I like the idea of having less to clean! What to do??

    HI -- That sounds like a very large shower , and why so big ? We would have to see it but I think one that big is going to feel cold unless there is a door .
