Wet Room Shower Screens

A wet room shower screen is a glass panel installed beside an open showering area to help contain water spray while allowing walk-in access. Unlike a fully enclosed shower cubicle, it generally leaves an open entrance without a conventional shower door.

Wet room screens can be used in suitably waterproofed shower areas, including certain walk-in installations with a compatible shower tray. Available designs include fixed glass panels and screens with smaller hinged return or flipper panels.

A wet room screen is not the same as a complete shower system. Check whether your selected product includes support fittings, a tray or other components, as these vary by model.

A wet room screen creates a partly open showering area, usually using one or more glass panels without a conventional full-height entrance door. A shower enclosure typically surrounds more of the showering space and may use sliding, pivot, hinged or bi-fold doors.

Wet room screens are suited to open-plan bathroom designs and walk-in access. A more enclosed shower may provide better separation between the wet and dry areas, depending on its design and installation.

If you prefer an enclosed showering space, compare our shower enclosures before deciding.

A fixed wet room screen uses a stationary glass panel to separate part of the showering area from the rest of the bathroom. It creates a simple walk-in layout with no moving entrance door.

A flipper or hinged return panel adds a smaller movable glass section that can help redirect water spray towards the shower area. This may be useful where additional splash coverage is needed without installing a fully enclosed shower.

Check the hinge direction, available opening space, panel dimensions and any required support fittings. Some installations may require compatible shower enclosure support arms.

Choose a wet room shower screen based on the available installation width, shower position, expected water spray and space needed for comfortable access.

Bathroom Republic UK offers selected wet room screen widths including 700mm, 800mm, 900mm, 1000mm and 1200mm. Available dimensions and configurations vary by product.

A wider screen may provide more splash coverage, but it can also reduce the available entrance width. Consider the position of the shower head and nearby fixtures when planning the layout.

Always verify the listed dimensions, glass thickness, adjustment range and fitting instructions. Ask your installer to confirm the most suitable configuration for your bathroom.

Yes, some wet room shower screens can be installed with compatible shower trays instead of directly onto a waterproofed tiled floor. Compatibility depends on the screen design, installation instructions and tray dimensions.

Some products are supplied as screen-and-tray combinations, while others include the screen only. Check the individual package contents before purchasing.

Waterproofing, sealing and suitable drainage remain essential regardless of whether a shower tray is used.
