Wet room former

Looking at the impey aqua dec 2 900x1200 with the shower glass along the 1200mm side. I like the style and quality, but I’m a little concerned about water leaving the former area and just sitting on the flat tiled area.
Could go bigger but don’t like other ranges as the linear drain would run along opposite wall and look strange.
Can anyone recommend any very reliable formers with linear drains to sit on braced and boarded out posi joist?

I have the same tray and have glass screens at the edges of the shower tray that do NOT touch the ground.  A small amount of water will splash under or over the screen and just sit there in the flat bit until you have finished.  A quick sweep around with a squeegee on a pole sweeps all the water away.  Don't over think it.

Don’t use tiles unless on a failsafe underliner, I like semi non slip welded vinyl coved and turned up wall behind waterproof layer = fail safe and whole floor can’t leak 

Welded vinyl will be more prone to failure at the start and end of the seams, plus it just looks soooo utilitarian. Tiles look a million dollars, and would negate the step in the wall with the skirt trim too.

How’s your glass set up, do you have a piece running along the 1200 length of tray ? Do you have a overhead soaker too?

We wanted hinged shower screens so when not in use they can fold flat against the wall so leave the space open. They are really only there to stop water splashing on the wall unit that is used for towel storage.  the only options seemed to be buy some made to measure glass and some hinges and make your own, or we chose cheap off the shelf shower screens intended to go over a bath.

 

So they are not very tall.  I set them 100mm above the floor and the top is head height.  So some water will go over and some will go under, but that does not matter, the whole room is a tanked wet room.  What goes under or over does not go very far and there is not very much of it, and you just sweep it down the drain with a squeegee when done.
