Here is a photo of the glass wall. We use the overhead shower not the hand held. So needed that wall. I had a great deal of anxiety about splash out which is why I did the outside walls of the small room beyond the actual shower 1/2 up in tile -- despite assurances. But, the workmen were correct- no splash out.

You can see in another photo how high the shower head is
And I asked for the ceiling to be tiled in case of splash. I imagine it gets steamy but no water drips from it and the shower walls dry in minutes with a high CFM fan with a humidistat. I am not paranoid but with SIP construction being so airtight we really have to control indoor moisture. It is like living in a big thermos - super great on utility costs..(and dust 😊) but again, moisture must be evacuated since no air leaks thru outlets etc.
