Shower with one fixed door

7 years ago

What you do you think about bathroom design like the photo where there is no door on one side?

I like it because it looks spacious but I don’t know if water will splash all over the toilet. Also is there a minimum distance to the toilet?

1. That particular design would need to be sloped to the drain in the shower, so you would have to plan for that unless you want to treat the whole bathroom as a wet room. I can't tell from the photo if it is.

2. You would probably get some water spraying on the toilet; the amount would depend on the shower head design, the size of the shower, and the distance to the toilet.

3. In my opinion, that is far too large an expanse of glass to not have support at the top. The one in the photo would have enough flex that you could shatter it at some point, especially if you fell against it or even bumped it hard.

4. The minimum code requirement for clearance around a toilet is a rectangular space that provides at least 15" on each side of the centerline, and 24" from the front edge of the toilet outward. The one in the picture looks like it would comply fine.

The toilet looks ridiculously close to the shower. Is that a real bathroom? or a showroom display?

Must be a display, the floor is not sloped by all appearance. The entire room would need to be designed and treated as a wet room honestly or at least three quarters.

Shaggy: I have a shower with no door and I’ve found the opposite to be true. It does get warm inside with a door but you have the burst of cold when you open the door. Loving no glass to clean and no drastic change in temperature.

How silly unless you just love cleaning everything every time you shower. If you want a wet room you will need to do a lot of work not just forget to install a wall.Plus the fact you will freeze everytime you have a shower A glass waiil will still give the feel of spaciousness.
