Single Walk-In Screen
One fixed panel defines the wet area with the simplest glass geometry.

Walk-In Shower Screens
Keep the entry open with fixed glass where the shower footprint, drainage and fixture direction can control water without a door.
Open Does Not Mean Unplanned
A walk-in screen depends on room depth and spray control
Fixed glass can make the bathroom feel open and remove moving hardware from the entrance. The benefit is strongest when the shower is deep enough to separate the entry from direct spray.
A short return panel can improve rigidity or containment, while an undersized screen may create drafts, splash and uncomfortable use. The whole footprint matters more than the glass width alone.
Configuration Options
Choose the amount of fixed glass deliberately
The open entry should remain comfortable while the glass performs a clear containment and separation role.
Screen with Return
A short perpendicular return can add enclosure and support without adding a door.
Open the layout guidePlan Before Measuring
Check movement, support and water direction together
A layout can look simple in elevation while creating conflicts in the complete bathroom.
Map the spray zone
Show shower heads, body sprays, controls and the direction users face.
Confirm floor drainage
Curbless floors require a coordinated slope and waterproofing plan beyond the glass scope.
Protect circulation
Keep the open entry clear of the toilet, vanity and main bathroom walkway.
Plan for comfort
Very open layouts can feel cooler; room size, ventilation and user preferences matter.
Questions to Resolve
Walk-in shower-screen planning FAQ
Will a fixed screen stop every splash?
No open enclosure guarantees complete containment. Screen size, shower depth, fixtures, curb or floor slope and user behaviour all contribute.
Does the panel need a support bar?
Panel size, thickness, attachment and geometry determine support. Any required bar or channel is included within the full enclosure scope.
Can a screen sit directly on a curbless floor?
It can in a properly prepared project, but glass placement must be coordinated with slope, waterproofing and safe edge support.
Can a door be added later?
Sometimes, but future hinges, seals and clearances should be considered before the original fixed glass is fabricated.
