Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet

  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.

    Hm. My bathroom is always 23°C or warmer, no matter the weather. When is colder outside, my heat pump delivers more warm water to the heating circuits. Does heating in the US work differently?

      Look at this high and mighty European with a heat pump and everything… /s

      Most of the heat in the US is electric or gas. In areas where the temps get freezing and below outside, people don’t tend to run it to get the temps into the mid 20s like that.

        Does that really make a difference on the bill, are the houses so badly insulated? I always thought that style of building with wooden walls and insulation foam should make heating extremely cheap.

    Thought that heat lamps might get rid of the chill factor?

    I have 3+ meter ceilings in all rooms including the bathroom, and the heat lamps are a godsend in winter.

    I’m looking to renovate the bathroom over the coming years and thought that an open space shower might be a great addition but maybe we will reconsider.

    I do like the Japanese prefab wet bathroom units, but not sure if they are available here, nor if the other half would approve.

      Well, they do, but they’re giant energy hogs. Just have a door on the shower and that stuff isn’t needed.

      What you saved on not installing a door you just blew threw by using a heat lamp

  the delusion that water respects boundaries.

  Water, the anarchist.

  Who wants one, and why?

    I do. But a proper one. A proper one looks like something you’d see in a change room. All tiled. No glass that is a PITA to keep clean. No curtain that gets disgusting. Just step in, shower, step out.

    But that stuff is out of reach to most people, including myself. Some people are still trying to imitate that with those compact ones but it’s just not the same.

      That shower is larger than my entire bathroom

      I want a public shower someday too

        I prefer a pubic shower myself.

      You can save water and shower with a bunch of people in that thing.

        My dream shower is about that size but also has rain ceiling from 3 stories up.

      That’s cool but I would feel way too vulnerable in that thing. I need a door within sight so I can be prepared in case a zombie appears or something.

    I do and I have one. The downstairs shower next to the sauna is just an entire tiled room so I don’t feel like I’m in a cramped space. I always use that one, even in the winter when it’s basically freezing down there, because I hate the cramped booth upstairs, I have very broad shoulders and can always feel like I’m going to hit the walls.

    The one in the OP is the worst of both worlds though. Still cramped, but doesn’t keep water in like a regular shower booth… and it’s installed in a bathroom without a proper tiled floor…
