Hi

Is there a rule of thumb that relates to wetroom shower screens and how big they should be in order to minimise the spray that gets beyond it?

My example - I have a raised wetroom floor kit (900 wide and 1800 long) that has walls on the left and in front (assuming you are facing the shower head, which is wall mounted). The shower screen is to go on the right hand side - there will be no door on the 4th side of the shower enclosure. I'd like to minimise the amount of water that lands outside of the raised wetroom floor (the 900x1800 bit) - would a floor to ceiling shower panel that projects 900mm from the wall suffice or would it need to be longer? Toughened glass isn't cheap and cannot be cut once it's treated so I'm hoping to get it right first time.

The obvious answer I suspect is make the shower panel as long as you can get away with, but I was wondering if there is some calculation/rule of thumb that can be applied.

Best regards

Jim
