Open showers

[Anonymous]

Even though I have seen a few open showers, I still don't quite see how you don't end up with water splashing where you don't want it.

But the huge appeal is that they seem much easier to clean...one less surface to wipe down and fewer corners for mold to accumulate.

If you have one, are you happy with it?

I dated a guy with an open shower made entirely of granite. I was always cold and thought I was going to slip to my death.

they are a bit drafty...but I loved the look we had in ours definitely easy to clean if you get a phone booth type shower head

Is this a real thing or are the sellers too cheap to pay for the glass?

It's okay, Sister Mary Katherine. We know it's hard to understand how things work outside of the convent.

I am sure that her boyfriend used bleach to clean it up cause she probably has seen the inside of many guy's shower.

you need to pitch the floor so the subfloor needs to be lower - so really need to plan ahead. They can be cold but you can easily combat this by using radiant in both the floors and the walls.

OP...PP thanks for tips; we were told about pitched floor and were planning radiant floor heat...didn't consider on the walls!

Is any guest ever going to use this shower? Will they feel comfortable with it or want a curtain? If you end up installing a curtain for them anyway "just in case," it ruins the look, which is the whole point.

Also, you've got to be OK with stray splashes outside the sunken part of the floor. They're impossible to stop.

I'm a great lover of openness, but after having these in a couple of hotel rooms, I really appreciate the glass doors on my shower at home. It's just more practical.
