How narrow can a walk in shower be?

There is no single safe or comfortable width for every walk in shower. The usable interior, fixture location, glass line, entry path, and occupant needs should be reviewed together on site before a layout is selected.

Will a fixed glass panel keep water inside a narrow shower?
