One thing is for sure, if you get the glass enclosure make sure the doors you get don't overlap in the middle when they're open because if they do it will be nearly impossible to clean. At least a curtain can be taken outside and sprayed down with a hose if need be, but glass also looks nice, so I'll link some pictures of nice options.




My recommendation would be a glass surround with a hinged door.

Glass. My preference are showers that are long enough that you don't need a door of any kind.

Problem with shower curtains is that sometimes they decide to envelope you and I find them very claustrophobic.

I seem to remember even 1930's hotel bathrooms like the Ritz (images I have SEEN she stresses), had glass panels and shower doors... so they are not necessarily modern!

Glass!

Definitely glass. Photos 1 and 3 above by thethistle are my favorites. In fact, it's what we have in our master.

If you do decide on glass, I'd suggest a set up like photo #3. That way you don't have to climb into the tub to start water for a bath.

Also, if you do opt for heavy glass, they will probably offer or even suggest starphire. It's a process where a mineral is removed from the glass (Iron I think?). Otherwise the glass has a very faint blue/green tinge.

Photo #3 is probably NON starphire. In that photo, the tinge is probably made even stronger by the color of the tile on the wall.

Do you need a bathtub for all three? I love the look of a glass panel to the floor...
