Moving on from the choice of shower tray and fitting to the floor (see previous thread) the design option of choice is to take out the 1700 mm long bath and replace it with a 1700 mm long and 900 mm deep shower tray, with a sliding glass door.
We would be effectively fitting into a (very large) alcove and the sliding door allows a wider entrance to the shower than a gap that can be splashed round.
As we are trying to minimise the step from the bathroom floor, and avoid any trip hazard, a semi-frameless design (that is, top hung door and no bottom track where the entry is) would give the easiest and safest access.
However my initial search hasn't turned up anything semi-frameless in 1700 mm length.
I don't understand why, though. Simplistically you just extend the fixed bit of glass and frame from say
1200 mm to 1700 mm and use the same width sliding door.
I am obviously missing something, but what?
