Shower Screen Guide

A shower screen must fit the finished opening, control water and allow safe door movement. Final measurements should be taken after the relevant surfaces are complete or confirmed.

Choose the right type

• Fixed panels create an open look but need enough length and correct shower placement to contain water.
• Pivot, sliding, bi-fold and double-entry screens suit different door-clearance conditions.
• Frameless, semi-frameless and framed systems differ in support, adjustment and visual weight.

Measure before you order

Record the finished dimensions and compare them with the product drawing. Check:

• Finished wall-to-wall dimensions at more than one height
• Wall plumb, floor level and tray or hob dimensions
• Door-swing or sliding clearance
• Shower-head position and likely water direction

Check compatibility and inclusions

• Match the screen adjustment range to the finished opening
• Confirm the wall substrate can support the fixings
• Check handle, hinge, channel and seal inclusions
• Use an experienced installer and follow applicable product and glazing requirements

Product inclusions and installation requirements vary. Use the individual product page and supplied documentation as the final reference. If information is missing, contact our team before ordering.

Care and maintenance

Use a squeegee after showering and clean glass and hardware with mild products. Do not use abrasive pads or strong chemicals on coatings, seals or metal finishes.

Frequently asked questions

When should I measure for a shower screen?

Final measurement is normally safest after tiles and the shower base or hob are complete.

Can a fixed panel stop all splash?

Performance depends on panel size, opening position, shower direction and user behaviour.

Are walls perfectly square?

Often they are not. Measure at several points and use the product adjustment range.
