Yes. We did. And love it. It was too cold in the winter without the door. Tried the curtain rod; kept falling and didn’t cover enough to keep the cool air out. The glass door works well and looks great. No mold issues; just leave the door open afterward. It dries out. We contracted through Lowe’s. They work with a local third party installer who did a terrific job.

I put in an expandable shower curtain rod and shower curtain. Very effective and much less expensive

I saw the topic earlier. Was just thinking about in during showering.

Curtains
  • Easy to change if you want
  • Gives you a two season option
  • Probably the Roman Shower is more desirable for resale
  • Low cost
  • Easy install
  • No extra pane of class to keep clean.
  • You and your partner have a choice on each use.

There are several configurations for the Roman showers depending on model and age of home. What you described wouldn’t work for our shower. Our curtain hangs right in the opening to the shower and is attractive since it’s fabric with a design on it. The vinyl liner is hidden inside the shower on the back side of the fabric curtain.

When you took the door or shower curtain away...

So you can enclose the doorway in some manner but it is no longer a "Roman shower".

A "walk-in shower" never had a door or curtain.
That's why it was called a "walk-in shower!"

Most of the Villages' walk-in showers were L-shaped.
Maybe they're calling it a Roman shower now so they can charge more money!
