I can’t stand seeing soap scum and water spots on shower glass, so I tend to design showers that have no glass at all. This setup does require a pretty sizable shower, however, to prevent water from spraying out the open side of the shower and into the rest of the room. I also like the look and functionality of a curbless shower, but it requires a good amount of space underneath the floor to accommodate the plumbing and necessary waterproofing, so it can be tricky to pull off if you are doing a renovation, versus new construction.

Accessible curbless shower with heated floors, channel drain and lots of grab bars.
