My almost finished main/guest bathroom remodel used to have a standard bath tub with a sliding frosted glass shower door. I hated that thing. Whenever I wanted to take a bath, I felt claustrophobic (even though I'm not). And getting in and out was oddly uncomfortable, even though the opening was plenty large. The only thing I liked about the shower door was being able to lock the dog in when I needed to give her a bath. I could also see the doors as being good splash-prevention if you had children showering. One other thing to consider is your selection of a swing-open door vs. slider. Using a swing-open type door will mean that the door will be closed while taking a bath. For me, that would be uncomfortable. I like to be able to rest my arms on the sides of the tub (to relax) and the door would be in the way. Personally, I would not want to have a glass door on a bath tub ever again. I would suggest you do a test-drive of some sort. Perhaps try bathing with the shower curtain closed or even putting up "doors" of cardboard or some other material to simulate the feeling of having actual doors. Maybe it will work better for you than it did for me.

Hey breezy! You and me both! LOL I had a different rainhead when we remodeled Mbath at previous house. It was also large and I loved it! Though when I washed my hair, I sometimes used DH's. ( I have very thick hair) We are probably still a month away of being in. The latests setback was the stair color. I told the GC I wanted kind of pecan colored to match my floor. Some how I ended up with BURGANDY! So, they were stripped and sanded and now 2 1/2 weeks later since starting the staining, they are the correct color. Sometimes I just want to pull my hair out! Good luck on your faucet choices! Bridge

Oh this is a HUGE problem for me. I hate the way curtains look, but I hate the way glass doors/tracks have to be maintained. My Nana actually put a clear plastic liner and rod above and inside of the glass shower doors to keep it from getting icky, but you didn't see the curtain from the outside. I dunno... DH and I are getting ready to build in a year or two and we might put in a conch-style shower; you go into a tile entrance and go around a corner to a mosaic'd room. No doors, no curtains, just private, big and luxurious. But a lot of tile to clean... Right now in our guest bath we have a curved rod and curtain. Our master bath has doors. I try a different cleaner every month trying to find something suitable! I've hear Spot X is IT, but I can't find it! Blessings, Haley

My husband is English, this is the set up all my in laws have and I am not a fan! Yes water splashes out and that is not even what I dislike most. It is freezing while showering. They are so drafty and allow so much steam to escape that the fan needs to be on while showering( I like to put my fan on for 30 minutes after my shower to stay warm at home) which keeps the room from moisture damage but makes the shower area even more drafty. Full enclosure or a curtain for warm showing work best IMO.
