People want doorless showers but most of them don't have the space in their bathroom that would be required to build one that works properly.
Some of them can't accept that fact and try to build one that relies entirely on the delusion that water respects boundaries.
That's 100% a hotel, though.
Hotels love installing these things. They’re cheaper than two large shower doors, they make the room look bigger, and guests think it looks modern.
That said, you’re kind of supposed to pair this with a rain shower head in the ceiling to reduce splash. This looks like a remodeled hotel that didn’t want to move the plumbing. They just did a cheap refresh to make people feel like they were staying in a modern room.
I stayed at a hotel in Vegas (of course) that had no doors on theirs. Just an open, locker-room-style shower. And the floor was barely level enough to not flood the bathroom if the shower head was pointed directly at the corner. It was not pointing the right way when I turned it on.
They're terrible. Everything you said is true, but I'll add that unless you crank up the heat in the room, they're miserable on cold days. The enclosed showers trap the steam and warmth from the how water in with you, but with no door it's just cold.
The opening is too wide, the shower head should be a rainfall shower, not the Commando 450.
Nah. Ours is a rainfall shower but the floor still gets wet.
I think you're dead-on. I had a 5' wide doorless shower, 3' of glass, and a rainfall showerhead and it was fine. Minimal leakage
Mine was fine till the kids grew up and wanted showers not baths. Water everywhere. Had to replace it with a sliding door
You can wash an elephant with that thing.
That just looks like an unfinished shower, or a sliding door set with a missing half. Maybe you could get a little shower curtain to hang up across the hole
I encountered this exact setup at a hotel recently. This seems like a hotel as well with how those bottles are attached to the wall
I'm fairly certain it's a Marriott.
Looks like a hotel. Best just to ask the front desk for extra towels.
Why even have a doorless/curtainless shower? I don't understand the appeal. How is the warmth supposed to stay in so you're not shaving off the tips of goosebumps?
Shower doors are difficult to clean well, shower curtains stick to the body, space is limited (problem if you're bigger), steam can make it harder to breathe...
Finns have figured out doorleess showers: they waterproof the whole room and equip it with a squeegee on a long stick. The floor is flat with a slight slope towards the drain. After you're done you just wipe the floor with the squeegee (takes 10 seconds) and that's it.
The Japanese did it right. Essentially the same thing you’re describing and in a way that mitigates anything commenters below you blurted out.
Unfamiliar with Finnish techniques.
That's still worse than just having a door. The squeegee helps, but it's not perfect, and I hate stepping on wet/damp floor after drying my feet. I mostly see that style in hotels or bathrooms which are too tiny to fit a proper shower. Whenever not space constrained, I'm pretty sure they're just there to save money.
Building code in most if not all of northern Europe require bathrooms to be a proper wet room, meaning waterproofing and a drain for all parts of the bathroom. This means either having two drains, or to allow water to flow from the rest of the bathroom to the shower. Guess which alternative is easier and cheaper to do?
Well that's just bad design. The opening is wrong so of course it'll splash and the floor needs to be one level and tilted to the drain.
I've seen some really good ones that work
As a disabled person who can’t sit or stand up doorless showers are my holy grail I could finally feel fucking clean instead of relying on sponge baths.
I could never afford it though and being severely disabled means I’m poor so yay capitalism.
No offense intended, but isn't that why shower rooms were invented? Waterproof the walls/floor with that cheap plastic stuff, curved edges on the walls for easy cleaning, plastic curtain on rails on the ceiling for blocking most of the water. Slope it down into the floor drain. No steps or doors. Is there really no safety net to get this sort of thing installed where you live? I would happily contribute a bit to a gofundme link for this, and I'm sure there's plenty of others who would too. Example https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-ric-live-safely-in-his-later-years?cp_src=m . Ideally social services should have grants for this sort of thing though. There may be one you can access depending on where you live, DM me and I'd happily put in a bit of research to help you find out if this is an option.
Edit: UK example https://www.gov.uk/disabled-facilities-grants/what-youll-get
Yeah can’t afford that either. Can’t install anything because I’m renting, can’t be anything but renting because I’m poor.
And the legal system I live under doesn’t have any law to make landlords follow accommodations…
My fav is the ones that just say fuck it and make the whole bathroom into a shower; as if people don't keep anything else in the bathroom, like idk towels or the clothes you're putting on after you shower...
I didn't want a practical bathroom anyway...
This is the way most Japanese showers are set up, and it works well because the shower/tub, toilet, and sink/storage area are three separate rooms.
Here is a (simplified approximation of a) common layout:
When the shower is literally alone in its own room, that's a little different.
I'm talking about when the full bathroom; toilet, sink, and shower, are all in the one uninterrupted space.
Did Dave piss on the damn toilet seat again, or is it just splash from the shower? 🤷🏻
Honestly, if it was built right, that would be the perfect type of bathroom. Imagine a bathroom where all the surfaces are water proof. Then, when it's time to clean the bathroom, you just hose everything down the floor drain!
My uni dormitory bathroom was like that, a very tiny off-white plastic cube with a toilet, sink and shower in no more than about 2 square meters.
It looked like crap, especially with aging year by year, but it was really easy to clean indeed. Though if everything gets wet regularly, mold also has an easier time spreading, so we needed to do that "easier" cleaning more often as a result
I looked at an apartment once where they had a proper door-less shower. You had to, like, walk around a corner to enter it. I considered leasing that apartment just because of the shower, but yeah a proper door-less shower takes up a lot of space.
They shouldn't. If this is new enough construction, the contractor needs to fix this.
This is becoming a staple in cheap and mid-price hotels. I have to use half my towels to keep the floor from being wet.
Get a spring-loaded window curtain rod, and notch the end that goes against the glass, so it doesn't slip. Throw on a shower curtain liner (they're cheap) and call it a day.
Pretty sure that is a hotel room, nothing a customer could fix. Been to rooms like that and hated the shower.
Yeah, I don't get this new trend of doorless showers. One of the many modern interior designs I think are bad/ugly. What's the deal with modern minimalism? Shit is ugly.
Also, this kind of design is gonna make for cold ass showers in the winter unless you pump your heat all day and night.
I've briefly thought about it, but I would need to make the whole bathroom waterproof, and that stops the intrusive thoughts.
That is not enough clearance, the door needed to be way longer
Doorless showers are fine, but why is the floor in the bathroom not made of tiles, where it doesn't matter as much when water spils? Strange decision by someone who either had no clue or didn't care enough.
Every hotel ever these days it seems. I guess it’s cheaper than replacing a curtain, or the curtain rod every jackass seems to have to yank on and bend for some reason.
You really need a lip to stop spills, I wanted one for mine but didn't have the space for it... So ended up with just a normal door (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Had a doorless one at my last place and it was great. The shower head was pointed at the side wall vs the open door, so maybe it kept it cleaner.
