Shower Enclosure Size Check

Check whether a shower tray size is comfortable and whether the door has room to open.

How this works

Building codes allow 76 x 76 cm as a minimum, but 90 x 90 cm is the comfortable start and 100 x 100 cm or more feels roomy. A walk-in needs about 120 x 80 cm. Leave 70 cm of clear floor in front, plus room for a hinged door to swing.
