Whats the difference between a soaking tub and a bathtub? We had a jacuzzi before but we didnt use it

Ah okey i understand. It will surely need cleaning on the far wall sometime, but we havent had any problems with that yet. About the water on the floor, I think you can see a little angled stripe on the floor outside the shower? That is for that purpose, it makes water that comes outside the drain to flow there. Sorry for my wierd english, i type as i think it in my language haha! We did talk about installing a door aswell, but not in 90° from the showerwall, but 180° towards the fan and window.

Wall materials, especially drywall are hygroscopic so the stains may be caused by water from below. Doesn't mean you have leaking siphon, just there is such a possibility. Doesn't hurt to check though
Judging by the photos You have issues with cracked/shrunk silicone and I'd bet on it being the main problem.

All that space, why did you not add a soaking tub as well?

Yeah i had that idea! But the jungle of LEDs and transformators (?) and all made me not do it. I just did it simple. Btw, this light has 3 different lights, like dimmered yellow, strong yellow, strong white. With the highest white its really bright, and the lowest it gets cozy. So i have somewhat of what you mean. But i agree what youre saying.

Not all dimmers are created equal. Look for a quality one that explicitly supports LED lighting. Get a name brand like Lutron or Eaton or Leviton.

My sister has these showers throughout her house in Germany. I just find they create a huge mess in the bathroom and are colder overall because it's not as enclosed a space. What we found is that as you are washing yourself, water will inevitably end up on the far wall. Now the floor there is all wet and you have to squeegee it. It's just extra effort a door would have prevented. Not having the door imo has no benefits.
They've now added a rod with a curtain and forgone the open style to prevent the required clean up. And added a rim because the water will still run out. Theirs relied completely on tilt.

What a project, lots of things coming together really nicely. I agree with the other comment, it’s the first time I’ve seen a fireplace in a bathroom and it was a good choice plus necessary. I also think a basements a good place for a bathroom, you have the windows up high where you’d want them anyway. Hats off to you. What’s the cats name?

Honestly, I think switching from a central light to one or two bar lights (think LED strip, very slim, but long like 3 ft) would help. You could adjust the color temperature, and I feel like a bat light would light the room much better than a single point light.

I personally don't like them because they don't trap any heat

Yeah i know, the problem is that this is a basement, and the height is about 2 meters now. I didnt want to cut into the ceiling to install spotlights due to that the insulation there is wood chips (?) Or what you call it. And i didnt want to lower the ceiling either. I didnt put several on the walls becaus of safety either. But i know what you mean!

How come? Ive always felt like showers with doors or walls, usually 900x900mm, are so small. We have a daugher who we shower aswell and this 1300x2000 is awesome
