It’s the entrance to that area that’s the concern. But not for water as that’ll dry relatively quickly with UFH and MVHR, right? It’s more any sort of slope to get to the loo.

Thorfun Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Forgot to add that the wall opposite the entrance will be tiled with textured tiles as a feature wall with down lights illuminating it. So any door won’t close tight to it and we can’t/won’t attach to that wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d have to reach around the folded door to turn the shower on which would be a nightmare. I can’t see how a door would work for other reasons. I think I’ll need to sit down and have a long hard think about it all. 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofty718 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'd recommend a door or screen too. Unless you actually need a wet room for mobility reasons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the "slope" is sub 20mm over 900mm which only a spirit level will notice. If you fit an 1100mm tray you'd better tank the room underneath too! That is a VERY small room to not have a shower screen, even a flapper panel (or 2). Is this the kids room or yours? Doing this in the kids room would be suicide.

Thorfun Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 morning all. on the train in to work this morning i've done some research and found many websites that state the splash zone for a doorless shower is 6'/180cm. we have over 2m from the wall shower head and 180cm from the drench shower head to the toilet so i'm convinced the toilet won't get wet. one article says in his experience the splash zone is under 4' https://www.pmmag.com/articles/96302-designing-a-walk-in-shower https://designingidea.com/doorless-walk-in-shower-dimensions/ https://www.twellis.com/blog/open-showers-is-this-trend-for-you/ so i'm now heading back to thinking about getting the 1850mm x 900mm former and just dealing with walking on the 'slope' of the former when going to the toilet. it's a pretty shallow fall though so i would think it's not that noticeable, right? would that get your sign off @Nickfromwales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing this in the kids room would be suicide. cross posts! it's our room so won't be stupid spraying water everywhere on purpose. we just can't really fit a screen where it would look aesthetically pleasing, not interfere with the tap placement or diminish the effect of the textured wall.
