Does anyone have a walk in shower & how much spray is there?

[sharmck]

Hi I'm deep into planning a new bathroom and DH wants a walk in shower. Got the tanking floor thing tiling all sorted with builder but still don't want whole floor getting wet. We've got an area 1400 by 900 for shower so could have a screen of 1000 on one side and 700 on the other (leaving a corner entrance). BUT some bathroom people have said a screen of 1000 means we'll get lots of spray, others that it will be fine. Has anyone got one that size? How wet is your floor (ps planning sedate showering for one..)

we have the same size shower as you are planning....the floor outside of the shower perimetre does get a little wet to be honest....although nothing that a quick wipe around after doesnt sort out....

Hi barbie1, thanks for that. Can I ask some more? Do you mean you have the same screen size (1000 straight panel with shower at the far narrow end) and when you say it gets a bit wet is that kind of at the level of just using a normal cotton bath mat at the entrance and it not getting absolutely sodden, just hang up to dry damp? Sorry to be so precise, but this is our once chance to have a new bathroom and I won't be able to change it if it doesn't work (though don't worry won't hold you to any advice, just good to know!)

This is the exact question I am asking myself at the moment. Did you proceed? Are you having unsoggy sedate showers for one?

Used a walk in at a b+b and thought it was draughty!! There are some that have minimalist frames and i prefer these - no splashing either.

We've got one like this:

The longer screen, where the shower head is, is curved which keeps the spray inside. In our case, we didn't put in the end screen - just tiles on that wall plus a tiled shelf. We don't get any splashes outside the shower tray.
