I'm working on a newly added upstairs bathroom that is too small to<br>
usefully accommodate a fiberglass stall and would like to experiment with a<br>
wall-less shower that is situated in the corner of the room, so would have<br>
a curtain on two sides. The obvious way to protect the walls would be to<br>
tile them but I am curious if there are other materials one might consider?<br>
The floor will be tiled and I plan to frame and tile a lip to contain the<br>
water running down the inside of the curtain.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much.<br>

Exhaust ventilation is important!<br>
<br>
Open showers in hotels and houses I have stayed were low tiled walls on two sides you could see over. Tilted floor to drain.

Tadelakt plaster might be alternative to the tiles.<br>
I've not used it but have read a bit about it. It's a lime based plaster<br>
that is burnished and sealed with oil.<br>
I would imagine that the wall to floor transition would be a critical point.<br>

Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) plaster would probably work since it?s used exterior. Has its own quirks, as anything would.<br>
<br>
Might want to crown the floor to a linear drain. And ventilate with a fan w/a condensation sensor.<br>

?I don't know about using plaster. In our current home our walls are<br>
drywall plastered over stucco. In the shower we eventually had to apply an<br>
exterior gloss? paint to waterproof the shower. (The moisture went into<br>
the walls to the tiles shower base where it became grotty). In the rest of<br>
the house, a heavy rain sends moisture through the walls. Bad news all the<br>
way around. The designer should have known better; a simple felt<br>
application on the exterior walls would have taken care of the problem.<br>
<br>
For an open shower in another house I too am looking for suitable shower<br>
walls, something other than tile (to eliminate the eventual inherent grout<br>
cleaning up necessitated with this use). I've looked into acrylic walls<br>
but these are very expensive, over $500 for a 4x8 sheet, material alone.<br>
<br>
Am open to suggests as well.<br>
<br>

Consider repurposing tempered patio door units, either vertical or horizontal, depending on space dimensions.<br>
Dry glaze with gaskets and metal or recycled plastic trim boards.<br>
<br>
Here is one source of glazing gaskets with drawings to assist the design.<br>
