Hello,
I need to put simple partition between bathing area and toilet, in a typical bathroom,
so that water from shower does not wet whole bathroom.
Other than curtain or glass, is there any other alternative and its vendor ?
Like some kind of plastic/PVC sheet extra.
I feel curtain may not maintain cleanliness and glass is risky, in case it breaks.
thanks.

The best option (if you are doing after the bathroom is complete) is the shower curtain. There are curtains that are made of mildew resistant materials, and all you have to do is wash it in a washer every week or so - it stays quite clean.
the second best is glass. these glass are tempered and made break resistant. but that also involves some construction work (meaning you will not have the use of your bathroom for a minimum of 2 days).
The other options you mention - plastic sheet (I feel would be more unhygienic, since you cannot remove and wash it). the shower curtain, when it gets really bad, can be replaced at very minimal cost.
there is the option of the glass blocks - even less breakable. but you will still need a door or opening. if you need a door, then the above options are the only options, if you have to leave an opening and not have water in the rest of the bathroom, the shower area has to be fairly large.
are you in the design phase or are you trying to retrofit an existing bathroom. that would help someone answer your questions better.
