I can fit an 1850mm tray but the slope will be where you walk to the bog.

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.

June 7, 20233 yr Author 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.

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. 😭
June 7, 20233 yr I'd recommend a door or screen too. Unless you actually need a wet room for mobility reasons

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.
June 8, 20233 yr Author 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

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.

June 8, 20233 yr 17 hours ago, Thorfun said: thank you. don't suppose you have a photo of how it's held in do you please? we only need 800mm max screen. any wider and the kids won't be able to get in to it! 🤣 Not at home at the moment to show the whole thing but these are the clamps I use for screens.

June 8, 20233 yr Author 38 minutes ago, Nickfromwales said: These would need to be hinged "flappers" i believe @markc was responding to this post which is to do with the screens in the kids bathrooms. 🙂 now thinking about flappers for the kids screens as well after the discussions about splashing on to flat tiles outside of the shower former as the kids will have 1500mm trays and only 800mm screens. but will be the standard walk-in shower with a wall at both ends and side with a glass panel and walk-in entrance. kind of like this
