I’m guessing the difference is the threshold height for the doors. Easier to get a wheelchair over a low or non-existent threshold
Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet
Thoven@lemdro.id 1 day agoWhat does a doorless shower offer that the same design with a door for that opening doesn’t? I would think there’s some accessible compromise that keeps the floor dry. Of course, the true holy grail would be the showers you sometimes see overseas where there’s a whole compartment built on a drain pan so the open door isn’t an inconvenience.

need to be able to lay in the shower. Elevated threshold makes that impossible.

I’m still not following. Most non-tub showers look exactly like OP’s picture except they have a sliding/swinging door.
What do you mean by elevated threshold? You mean that small ~3inch lip that is also present in OP’s picture?

Ah I see the confusion.
The walk in shower in my old appartment had no lip, and my current appartment has a 30cm lip.
i assumed all walk in showers were without the lip but it seems I was wrong.
