The less you have the more concentrated the steam at the top and the more damage the steam will cause.
How much space between top of shower door and ceiling.
Is there a minimum regulatory or recommended distance between the top of a shower enclosure and the ceiling.
I wouldn t want less than six inches.
I think what s most important is keeping the room warm enough to reduce condensation and increase evaporation to an level that keeps things fairly dry.
A minimum space of 24 inches must be planned in front of a shower entry.
If so how much if there s little or no gap will moisture cause damage inside the tub area if there s no place for the steam to escape while one showers for example.
I have about 5 inches from the top of the shower door to the top.
To know now much distance i need between the top of the shower door and ceiling for the moisture to vent from the shower assembly.
A minimum space of 21 inches must be planned in front of lavatory toilet bidet and tub.
I never use a plastic seal there unless it is requested by the homeowner.
The edge seal along that edge is probably there to hide the condition you are describing.
The distance between the tray and the ceiling is 1 96m.
The enclosure we ve ordered is 1 9m.
The one i like twyford t4 or geo6 is 1 9m.
So get as much space as possible while getting a shower door that you can get.
The room is 2 03m from floorboard to ceiling plasterboard.
The industry standard is 1 16 but i think even that is pushing it.
Having said that my shower has just over a foot between the top of the glass and the ceiling and that seems to allow plenty of convection.
I also try to avoid using silicone whenever possible.
Question is will it be a problem only having a 6cm air gap above the door and side panel.
Do we need a gap between the top of the door and the ceiling of tub area.
