A Roman shower, sometimes referred to as a wet room, is a shower that is not enclosed by a door or shower curtain. Some Roman showers are truly open on all sides, but others are installed with a glass partition or tucked behind a decorative wall to maintain an open feel while still providing splash guards.

Accessible and Easy to Clean

1. Roman showers offer the benefit of an open floor plan, making small bathrooms feel bigger and allowing you to get as much function as possible out of a small space. These showers also offer unrestricted access for the handicapped, elderly and others who may have limited mobility. They are generally easy to clean since there are minimal spaces available in the open design to capture and collect dirt.

DIY Challenges

1. It is important that Roman showers be installed properly to avoid leaks and mold. Proper ventilation, waterproofing, drainage and heat location are all crucial elements of an open shower design, making this bathroom remodel a poor do-it-yourself project. Open showers also involve a lot of tile, which can be expensive. High-end tiles create a luxury feel, while low-end tiles feel institutional and impersonal in this type of shower design. Roman showers can also be drafty as there is no curtain or door to help contain the steam.
