Water sprays and wet most of the bathroom without the door. Water pressure is very, very low, too. Understand that they put a water flow-rate restrictor to control the water pressure. Couldn't have a proper shower for that whole week! Why, why, why?	bk T (215)

The showers all had doors, but in one place the shower was so small that when I dropped the soap on the floor, as I inevitably do, there wasn't room to bend over and pick it up again (and I am not officially obese!). I couldn't believe it - that's the ultimate in space saving!	R.M. (561)

1464752	2019-10-31 19:28:00	You mean this type of thing? www.google.com It's like a wet floor bathroom, sort of it. I actually thought of doing that here, but weirdly it would have cost more than a cubicle. I hate cubicles..... I have seen one bathroom down south that was a bit like that, except it was a large room, and tilled all round, and instead of a glass wall thy had a tiled one, part wall I should say. It was a really gorgeous bathroom and the shower was like a walk round corner, but open arrangement. Helps if you have room, the bathroom here is a bit tiny, so would have had to stay wet floor with such an arrangement.	piroska (17583)
1464753	2019-10-31 20:43:00	Yes, piroska. very similar. The bathroom floor will be wet after each shower.	bk T (215)
1464754	2019-10-31 20:51:00	Yes, piroska. very similar. The bathroom floor will be wet after each shower. If they are designed and built correctly there should be very little water anywhere apart from the shower area. The floor should be on a gradient enough so any water will always flow to the drain, not out everywhere else. Of course if there's a lot of splashing around then yep, water will go everywhere.	wainuitech (129)

Shower over in far corner from door. It works well. Ours, wet floor shower was same wall as door. Idiocy. Water does spatter a bit - say twice the distance of a cubicle...not flood, but spitty drops. Anyway, it was far too small to be done that way. Those wall things, I like it.....but you'd need the space, and a floor drain of course.	piroska (17583)
