I am surprised that designers keep forgetting a simple solution to the “getting wet” while turning on the water problem of glassed in showers. I had my glass company cut a crescent shape at the edge of the panel near the controls so I could get my arm in, turn the faucet and stay dry. Why hasn’t this idea gotten more traction? Here’s an example.
Hate shower doors. They are a pain to keep clean, especially around the hardware. And there is the problem described above by Redryder. When we built our house, I designed the shower with a half wall that has a window. You can reach around or reach through the window to turn on the water. All tiled, easy to clean and the entrance has a curb so it is easy to step in while keeping in the water. Now if I could just get the dog and cats to stop coming in and playing with the water when I'm showering.
