A glass free shower or open shower is an ideal way to remove the need for glass in the bathroom. Here are some design ideas for inspiration.
Wet room bathrooms are popular in design as they open the room making it feel bigger than it is.
This style of bathroom also removes the glass shower door and enclosure, which is one less surface to keep clean.
Glass free showers are one way to reduce cleaning in the bathroom.
Over time, as we all know from experience, the glass can become cloudy due to watermarks, limescale and age. Regular cleaning is necessary to keep the glass from going opaque.
The designs below have created a glass free shower in a nook or long corridor. Light and air flower should be carefully considered in this style of shower. These nooks can be dark requiring a skylight for day and a downlight at night.
They can also echo as they imitate a cave and air flow is important to prevent mildew growth in a damp space.
Larger bathrooms can create an open shower experience in the corner, without need for glass panels but drainage design needs to be well considered for these types of open showers. A channel grate is ideal for adequate drainage.
A rain shower head works well in open showers as the water is directed down unlike a hand-held shower where water can be dispersed around.
The glass free shower design may remove the need for cleaning glass, but you may need to dry the area after use.
This shower design comes down to personal preference and the space you have allocated for your bathroom.
Here are some open showers that are glass free to inspire your next bathroom.
