    I have no shower door but s small glass wall enough to keep the water spray at bay. The shower stall is 6 x 5 and large enough to keep the water in.
    There are 2 very good exhaust fans installed and I have no issues with humidity, at least not in my bathroom, the house is in FL.

      The pros are: shower door keeps water in the shower area and it can provide privacy.
      Depends on the bathroom layout I guess. Apart from the above reasons I can't think of cons.

      A big con for many homeowners on having a shower door is the price. Glass doors often need to be custom cut to fit your space, and the hardware can also be costly if you choose something other than the default given by the supplier. Though, the pros of having one very often outweigh the cons with glass shower doors in terms of maintenance, attractiveness, and overall value.

      Having no shower door also means the shower area has to be large enough to accomondate without any spillage.

      When we added an additional upstairs bathroom I fought for a no door shower and love it.
      Pros/ no door to clean and a more open appearance
      Cons/ be sure drain/ledge is slightly angled so water stays in shower area

      Before our custom door arrived, we had no shower door. The cons we noticed were a cooler air temperature while showering and the increased humidity inside the bathroom. Now the steam and heat remain inside the shower and the exhaust fan works efficiently to keep humidity (and frizzy hair) at bay.

      Curkycook - frizzy hair will never be a problem for me - but flat hair will!

      Thanks for the info regarding cooler without the door. I have been planning a bath reno for some time now and have wondered about the temperature in no-door showers. I have also contemplated a large-ish 'shower room with tub", so tub within a large enclosed shower, but have wondered if even that would be too large an area to heat with the steam from the shower.

      I agree no door will not let the shower warm up as effectively as one with a door. You can have a linear drain installed in front of the door opening inside the shower and a drain in the center. This will keep water from draining out the door.

      We decided that we are going to do a half glass that will be attached to the mid level rock work. So, no goo and maybe some of the warmth and water will be kept in the shower area. Thanks for all of the comments!

      I've never owned a walk-in shower but was so attracted to the idea. Since then, I've showered in multiple versions via hotels and friends' homes. I'd never own one anymore for the sheer air cooling factor. Those things simply don't allow , me to get the steamy experience I want (99% of the time) when I shower. Instead, I've wound up with goose bumps for the bulk of the time I'm in it - even in the warm water. Brrrr.

      we are putting in a 5 x 3 tile shower and want to have a glass wall at the end of the shower by the shower head but want to have NO shower door...just the glass wall. It is a seamless shower floor where there is no lip or curb (and appropriately drained). I assume it might be important to pick out the right shower head. My question is what is the minimum size for the glass wall to limit water spraying out. We want to leave as much room open for the door for future wheelchair access (just trying to make it all ADA). So, 60" wide opening...how much for glass wall and how much can be open....thanks in advance for your advice!

      Leaving any part open will result in water splashing or spraying out. Better to go with a thick clear shower curtain liner, the top of which would be hiding by a cornice. On the plus side, a curtain moves to enable you to have elbow room. A curb up or step down to the shower floor that will keep the bottom of the curtain inside the shower enclosure will also help with this. Don't forget to include a safety grab bar inside the shower enclosure.
