Shower Screens - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wet room shower screen?

A wet room shower screen is a sleek, minimalistic glass panel that helps contain water within a shower area, enhancing the bathroom’s modern aesthetic. These screens are popular for their accessibility, style, and compatibility with various room designs.

What size shower screen should I choose?

To maximize splash protection, choose a screen width that balances water containment with ease of entry and exit. For example, a screen of 600-700 mm provides adequate space while minimizing splashing, but if your space allows, a larger screen can offer even better water containment.

How much entrance space should I allow?

For comfortable access, it’s recommended to leave an entrance gap of 500-600 mm. This allows you to move freely in and out of the shower while still keeping water within the shower area.

What are the options for recess installations?

If you’re installing a screen in a recessed area (between walls), aim for a screen width that leaves an accessible gap of around 500-600 mm. For instance, in a 1700 mm space, a 1100-1200 mm screen works well. This setup ensures good access and water containment.

What are corner installation options for shower screens?

In corner installations, you can position the shower screen along one side, entering from the shorter or longer side. For example, in a 1700 x 700 mm layout, a 1400 mm screen along the 1700 mm side effectively contains water, and adding a second panel on the other side can prevent splashing.

What are return panels, and should I consider one?

A return panel is a smaller glass panel attached at a 90-degree angle to the main screen. Return panels, either fixed or hinged, improve water containment. Hinged options can open inward or outward, providing flexibility and allowing for a wider screen without limiting entry space.

What is a walk-through shower screen, and is it right for me?

A walk-through shower screen allows entry from both sides, offering a luxurious and open showering experience. This style is best suited for larger bathrooms, as it requires ample space to comfortably enter and exit on either side of the screen.

What options work best for mobility and wheelchair accessibility?

For wheelchair access, consider a wider shower screen of at least 800-900 mm, leaving sufficient open space for easy entrance and exit. Return panels, especially hinged ones, can be helpful, as they offer flexibility to widen the entrance when needed. Corner or walk-through installations may also provide greater freedom of movement for those with limited mobility.

What accessories are available for shower screens?

Shower screens often come with wall-mounted fixings, but you can choose from alternative installation options like ceiling-mounted arms or angled supports. Additional accessories, such as hooks for towels and support feet, can enhance your shower setup.
