Why Do European Showers Have Half A Door

Most have drains in the floor.

Why do european showers have half a door.

They keep the rest of the bathroom dry and i hate hate hate shower curtains they are so gross if they touch your bum. In 35 years of travelling around europe the times that i didn t have a decent shower with fixed shower head and shower curtain door have been very few and far between. And then their towels which they want me to re use get re u. Travelbuzz european showers without full doors i did not stay in junky places cause roach motel in local usa would not have a door to their shower but why do many european hotels insist on not having full walls or doors on their showers.

So you walk in and turn left for water. But it only has a half glass door. Personally i find this standard to be foolish and i found this half a show glass in england scotland spain and italy. Some water gets out.

I am at a residence inn in ne ohio right now. The other option that exists is called a european shower door these enclosures as they are called over and over again on google are often half glass but they re even worse somehow because they are on hinges and swing both in and out. I have stayed at two different rooms at the same hotel in england in 2014 and one room had a shower curtain and the other half a glass door. Obviously anything in the house that can naturally and also stylishly carry out two jobs making the feature of a house broad while the real dimension remains continuous is a design that pleads respect.

My room has a great walk in shower with the knob placed so you can turn on the shower without getting wet. I usually take advantage of water pressure in hotels when there is water pressure and having that shower design basically floods the entire bathroom. A doorless shower could in fact do double duty. That leaves a more reasonable six rooms rather than 20 to share the two public showers.

It makes a mess. It s not a big deal it s kind of quaint but. I know european bathrooms are built to handle the water spill. If space is a limitation use a vinyl shower curtain.

Those willing to go down the hall for a shower enjoy the same substantial savings with much less inconvenience. I have one now and i need a new bathroom we will get another one. My bathroom is warm anyway so i don t get cold. I guess any hotel housekeeper hates that.

Walkway by day shower by evening. For example a hotel originally designed with 20 simple rooms sharing two showers may now have been remodeled with private showers in 14 of its rooms.
