I can tell you my experience: I built a shower that was larger than 60" The 'off the shelf' glass sliding doors were too small, so I had to get a 'custom' glass door. Nothing fancy - about $1100.

That would be really cool in an old house!

I think it'll be more than you like. And for safety's sake, you might want to go ahead and use a regular shower glass enclosure and dress it up to look like that one.

That shower surround in the picture probably ran between $5000 and $10,000, if not more.

Metal casement windows are much more expensive than typical windows of the same dimensions. That shower enclosure was probably custom built by a company like Hope's, and one of my architect friends who's used them said they run $1000s for the same spot a more conventional window would run $100s.

That's the problem with Houzz. You should be able to filter by budget.

I do NOT recommend windows for use in that application. They are not made for that.
Explore a custom shower enclosure that is meant for such an application. You'll be much happier in the long run.

I would do as fori suggested and used a standard shower enclosure that's designed with grills so that it appears to be window panes. The grills would be on the shower's exterior and the interior would be a smooth surface of glass.

Imagine Pella windows with the snap-on grills..........

I had the same thoughts as Fori and Annz. You can buy or build mullions to dress up the outside... also much easier to keep clean with one solid interior sheet of glass than divided "lites".

Here's an image showing what fori, annz and kirkhall are suggesting. If you click through the image to houzz there's a Q&A with the photo.
