    We have two of those in our home, I installed small rings in the water tube, so that much less water comes out. Now, even our guests do not completely sprayed the bathroom . Added advantage: better for the climate.

    Well that’s just bad design. The opening is wrong so of course it’ll splash and the floor needs to be one level and tilted to the drain.

    I’ve seen some really good ones that work

    Doorless showers are great for the elderly, disabled, orgies, you name it- WHEN DONE RIGHT. This is far from correct. The shower spray should be spraying away from the entry, not right fucking at it. It’s puzzling because it looks like the control valve is on the near side so they routed the head all the way around to be in the wrong place? Even then, this is kind of a small space for a doorless. Also, one of those stupid corner shelves and a safety handle way the fuck in the corner. Buy a shower rod and floor length curtain to hang inside the glass wall. It’ll be real fancy.

    Yeah, I don’t get this new trend of doorless showers. One of the many modern interior designs I think are bad/ugly. What’s the deal with modern minimalism? Shit is ugly.

    Also, this kind of design is gonna make for cold ass showers in the winter unless you pump your heat all day and night.

    Every hotel ever these days it seems. I guess it’s cheaper than replacing a curtain, or the curtain rod every jackass seems to have to yank on and bend for some reason.

    As a disabled person who can’t sit or stand up doorless showers are my holy grail I could finally feel fucking clean instead of relying on sponge baths.

    I could never afford it though and being severely disabled means I’m poor so yay capitalism.

      No offense intended, but isn’t that why shower rooms were invented? Waterproof the walls/floor with that cheap plastic stuff, curved edges on the walls for easy cleaning, plastic curtain on rails on the ceiling for blocking most of the water. Slope it down into the floor drain. No steps or doors. Is there really no safety net to get this sort of thing installed where you live? I would happily contribute a bit to a gofundme link for this, and I’m sure there’s plenty of others who would too. Example https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-ric-live-safely-in-his-later-years?cp_src=m . Ideally social services should have grants for this sort of thing though. There may be one you can access depending on where you live, DM me and I’d happily put in a bit of research to help you find out if this is an option.

      Edit: UK example https://www.gov.uk/disabled-facilities-grants/what-youll-get

        Yeah can’t afford that either. Can’t install anything because I’m renting, can’t be anything but renting because I’m poor.

        And the legal system I live under doesn’t have any law to make landlords follow accommodations…

          That’s completely fair! Sorry, I underestimated the cost and the problem of getting permission as a renter. I looked into it properly and, although the plastic covering and curtain are cheap, constructing the drainage, sloped floor and waterproofing can still cost around £6,000–£8,500 here. If you’re comfortable saying which country or state you’re in, I’d still be happy to check whether there are any local grants, charities or tenant protections that might help. No need to give your precise location.

            I’m sorry I’m unable to share where I live because of privacy concerns. But it’s very nice that you’re trying to help. Hope you have a nice day, cheers :)

            (I have however spent a long time exploring all the possibilities and am fairly certain there isn’t much to do for now, bar moving which since I’m rent controlled would probably be impossible financially ahah. So more just a reality of being disabled and unable to work under the system than something that can be fixed at an individual level unfortunately).

      What does a doorless shower offer that the same design with a door for that opening doesn’t? I would think there’s some accessible compromise that keeps the floor dry. Of course, the true holy grail would be the showers you sometimes see overseas where there’s a whole compartment built on a drain pan so the open door isn’t an inconvenience.

          I’m still not following. Most non-tub showers look exactly like OP’s picture except they have a sliding/swinging door.

          What do you mean by elevated threshold? You mean that small ~3inch lip that is also present in OP’s picture?

            Ah I see the confusion.

            The walk in/doorless shower in my old appartment had no lip, and my current appartment showerr has a 30cm lip.

            i assumed all walk/doorless in showers were without the lip but it seems I was wrong.

    British? I swear the Brits still think it’s the feudal times with their two spouts sinks, half enclosed showers, light switches outside the bathroom, and of course driving on the incorrect side of the bloody damned road! Yes I bitter much… at least the French have the food to make up for their eccentricities.

      Question on this… Why would you do that? Like 1 medium towel vaguely covers the wet area and its not like your probably sub-one-week stay is going to hurt anything if there is permanent water damage.

    You really need a lip to stop spills, I wanted one for mine but didn’t have the space for it… So ended up with just a normal door (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

      If you still are in that space, one of those things you can put over cables so you won’t trip over then would make a great lip
