It will reduce the chance of water flowing out onto the bathroom floor. If you’re designing a small walk in shower, use a rain head which is, by design, directed down at your head (not blasting full-force at your body). It doesn’t take an engineer to figure out if you use a stationary shower head directed at the opening of a walk-in shower, you’re going to get water on the bathroom floor. The type of shower head is very (or very, very as Trump would say) important in a walk-in shower. If you use a shower screen or a curved (thinner sized) glass block shower wall you can take out your tub, still have glass keeping you warm and also enjoy a doorless shower.īlunder #2 – You use the wrong shower head, place it in the wrong spot, and water gushes out. These spaces are 60” wide x 32” to 34” deep. You can even have a walk in shower in a space which was converted from a tub. In reality you can have a walk-in shower in the tiniest bathrooms, IF you’re willing to have a more open design. You listen to bad information from others who tell you’ve got to have a BIG bathroom to make a walk-in shower work. I hope they make it clearer if a walk-in shower is right for your project.īlunder #1 – You assume you don’t have enough room for a walk-in shower, so you blow off the idea Since Lisa liked these ideas, I thought I’d share them with you.

I then offered to share with Lisa the 7 biggest blunders (and misconceptions) I’ve seen with walk in showers. I know the following equation is one she wouldn’t want associated with her job: (A poorly designed and built walk in shower) = (A bad walk in shower) However, but I’ve seen my share of walk in shower blunders over the years. I went on to tell Lisa I wish I could tell her all the doubts and fears her friends, neighbors, family members and even contractors told her was a bunch of crap. She asked me, “Mike, should I continue to explore this idea, or blow it up before I get in too deep?”
