We have this in our downstairs shower and, similar to a picture a PP posted, we have a very high curtain rod and and an extra long shower curtain. Love it and have changed out the design a couple of times.

I vastly prefer a curtain if it's done well.

Glass is so much cleaning and upkeep and no privacy.

We just had our son's bath remodeled from a tub to walk-in shower. What no one has said is that a shower curtain is more ADA friendly. Those glass half walls are in the way of you truly need a shower for mobility issues.

As for aesthetics, the glass needs constant upkeep. I have a huge swath of it in my master, and it's a lot of work. A curtain done well (hung high) adds style. Do an internet or Pinterest search. The glass wall will become dated, but curtains are easy to change and update.

OP, also look into a polyprylene shield that doesn't move- it looks like glass and is more effective than a shower curtain. Good luck!

We have a nice cloth curtain in our walk in shower for the reasons you stated (so much easier to clean). We like it, it's pretty, and softens up an otherwise hard (tile, granite countertop, mirror) room
