Page 16 of 25 Accessible Shower Enclosures

Measure the available wall-to-wall or wall-to-glass space and allow enough clear opening for easy entry; wet room and walk‑in screens are commonly offered from 700mm up to 1400mm so you can match most alcoves. If you want easy access with a mobility aid, aim for at least 900–1000mm of clear opening; for a standard family bathroom a 1000–1200mm screen often gives a comfortable protected area. Also think about splash control: wider panels and hinged return panels give more coverage without closing the space.

A wet room screen is typically a single glass panel designed for a drained floor, giving a minimalist, level‑access finish, while a walk‑in screen with a tray sits over a shallow or non‑slip tray to contain water. Trays shown here include low profile and non‑slip options and common paired sizes are 1400 x 800mm or 1700 x 700mm, which help keep the rest of the bathroom dry. If you want level access for a wheelchair, a wet room is best; if you prefer a contained shower area with easier leg support, choose a walk‑in with a non‑slip tray.

Most screens in our range use 8mm safety glass and sturdy chrome or brass fittings, which give a solid visual boundary, but grab rails and seats should be fixed to the wall or floor rather than to the glass. Several screens come with hinged return panels that provide additional structure around the entrance and work well alongside wall‑mounted rails. For example, pair an 8mm wet room screen with a low profile tray and a wall‑mounted fold‑down seat to give safe, level access.

For a modern look choose frameless or grid screens in black or chrome with clear glass; black grid or plain black frames create a contemporary, industrial feel. For a warmer, more traditional scheme select brushed brass or brass finishes and fluted glass, which softens the light and suits classic tiles. If you want a versatile option, chrome with clear 8mm glass is timeless and pairs well with most decors.

Use a non‑slip shower tray and a larger screen or hinged return panel to limit spray; the range includes non‑slip trays and walk‑in sets such as 1400 x 800mm or 1700 x 700mm that give more protected space. Choose textured tray surfaces and consider a 1200mm or wider panel so water is directed back into the shower area. In practice, a low profile non‑slip tray plus an 8mm screen with a hinged return panel gives both safety underfoot and good splash control.
