German term or phrase: aufrechten Nasszone

Kühle Brauseköpfe in der Dusche. Die konsequente Linienführung hinterlässt ihre Spuren auch in der «aufrechten» Nasszone.

From a promotional brochure for bathroom fixtures. This is describing taps etc. for the shower rather than the bath but I can't think of a catchy way to say it and I don't just want to put shower. Does anyone have any ideas please?
