35 Trendy Doorless Shower Design Ideas
Why are doorless showers so much in trend? They create a spacious feel and have a whole range of various advantages that may attract you, though there are some disadvantages, too. Let’s consider both to understand whether you want such a shower or not.
Pros
Doorless shower should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Glass shower doors require constant cleaning to avoid hard water spots, so a doorless shower means one less thing to clean.
No step-over curb at the entrance makes the shower easily accessible to the elderly and those with mobility issues. Doorless showers are standard in age-in-place universal design.
With no glass door to interrupt traffic flow, the bathroom feels more open and roomy.
Doorless showers are custom designed to fit your space and style. You can choose, for instance, the number and placement of niches to hold toiletries like shampoo; you can also have a shower seat installed. Though, custom designs cost a lot.

Cons
Doorless showers require more floor space than a standard tub or shower stall, making them unsuitable for small bathrooms.
With no door to trap in steam, doorless showers have a tendency to feel drafty at times. Draftiness can be reduced through the installation of infrared heating lights, towel warmers, and heated flooring.
There’s a lot less privacy than a closed shower, though you can still fix it installing a half wall or a wall with frosted glass on top.
Replacing the sole bathtub in your home could lower your house value. For resell purposes, a house should have a least one tub.
Putting in a doorless shower isn’t a do-it-yourself kind of project. Grading the floor, installing drains and plumbing, and building and tiling walls are jobs best left to the pros. In many cases, installing a doorless shower will require a permit and periodic inspections by the local building authority.
While showering is a steamy prospect in any bathroom, showers with doors block more of the moisture, allowing it to condense on the shower walls and drain away. Doorless showers permit more steam to escape, so you’ll need a ventilation fan to remove excess humidity, which can increase the risk of mold growth.
