Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ At first I was set on inverting it, because it should open up to the taps right? Bit of a reach otherwise (whilst standing outside the shower). Then I realised my towel rack/rail is in the other side of the shower. That'd be awkward too (getting into the shower to return the towel). Does anyone have a similar layout? Or can advise? Thanks!

Re: Which way should my shower screen open? 4Sep 25, 2016 3:57 pm My shower tap is virtually mid point under the window - as shown. I have a long higher window though. However - my door does open the other way. Re: Which way should my shower screen open? 5Sep 26, 2016 1:31 pm Saint Mike My shower tap is virtually mid point under the window - as shown. I have a long higher window though. However - my door does open the other way. Thanks Mike. I noticed even in the display home it was the other way around. I'll have to ask the prestart lady her honest advice! Re: Which way should my shower screen open? 6Sep 26, 2016 2:27 pm I can tell you one thing - the place we built I saw as a display house - in a similar format/plan. We made changes. In the display hour the door to the walk in robes was off the ensuite. In the plan it was off the bedroom - a much better set-up in my opinion. Also - not as many issues re moisture in clothes. So - it may be just a mistake. When I asked they said I was the only person who said something ... Hard to believe but it shows you have to real check the plans before the final sign off. We even found errors in them - and I'm no George Costanza ... or Art Vandalay ... They even had a problem in the solar panels - not enough ! I asked and they said that was all I was getting. After I pointed out what was in the contract I got quite a few more. I almost said nothing - thinking it was just a generic view on the plans. SO - Rule One - question anything that looks wrong. It probably is ! Re: Which way should my shower screen open? 10Sep 27, 2016 2:16 pm jas0nt Where will your towel rack be? I assume it will be hung on the wall to the right of the entrance. If so then your proposed plan is the logical solution. The towel rack is inside the shower. I spotted it after I'd done the shower screen 'planning', and it took me back to square one lol. Your shower screen has failed in the way it is designed to fail with tempered glass. You could replace it with laminated safety glass but make sure it has AS standards logo on it 1 11160 Cupcake.girl This really depends on your local council.
