we are putting in a 5 x 3 tile shower and want to have a glass wall at the end of the shower by the shower head but want to have NO shower door...just the glass wall. It is a seamless shower floor where there is no lip or curb (and appropriately drained). I assume it might be important to pick out the right shower head. My question is what is the minimum size for the glass wall to limit water spraying out. We want to leave as much room open for the door for future wheelchair access (just trying to make it all ADA). So, 60" wide opening...how much for glass wall and how much can be open....thanks in advance for your advice!

I am all for shower doors. I feel like they are easier to clean and look sleeker. Shower curtains can be fun, but the underneath liner can get annoying!

It depends on the size of the neo-angle shower, but most I've seen (been in) I agree with your friend. They can also be too small for taller men to raise their arms in too. The bigger question is, how much money do you want to spend to remove the bath tub? If you replace the tub with a shower and utilize the current drain and water valve location you will save yourself money right off the bat. The water valve will have to be moved to a higher location, but straight up is cheaper than different wall. From a resale standpoint, bathrooms and kitchens are very important. A large (enough) luxury shower could be the icing on the cake, if you have another bath tub somewhere else in the house. The lack of a tub does limit the buyer pool.

The plumber put where the hose attaches to the wall at 44" high in my mom's shower (not sure of the technical term). The usable space on the slide bar goes from 48"-70" above the shower floor. (She also has a fixed head at 79.5" above the shower floor). Nobody asked us. The plumber and contractor just put them there and it works well for both of us as far as adjusting the handheld lower/higher and including how the shower hose drapes/loops and how far it reaches. FWIW, she has a 63" techniflex hansgrohe shower hose. (BTW, she is 5'4" and I am 5'6".) Right now we are in the final stages of a hall bath remodel. Just had an alcove tub before (no plumbing for shower). Now will have an alcove tub/shower with a fixed shower head and handheld. Same plumber and contractor. But this time they put where the hose attaches to the wall at approx 40" high (I think because of the other valve components being lower maybe? Not sure.). Fixed head still at 79.5" high. Not sure how high the slide bar will be mounted. But it's the same hansgrohe set up as my mom with a 63" hose. Except I'm doing a Speakman shower head and Moen Twist handheld that I hope will fit onto the hansgrohe slidebar. My mom has the hansgrohe raindance S 150 which is nice but I want to try out the speakman and the moen has a couple settings I like. I'm hoping for more force from the speakman. I want to feel pummeled by water in the shower; I don't want a gentle drenching. ETA: In our weirdly narrow and short basement bathroom, I just have a waterpik handheld up on the wall. I find that easy to use too as far as the hose reach and hanging down. Occasionally it catches on the shower control but probably because the showerhead height is so low due to the ceiling height. Nothing in that bathroom is to code. The original owner of the house sort of put it together himself as an afterthought because his wife wanted him to shower downstairs and clean up before entering the rest of the house after working outside, etc.
