Using in small bathrooms

In a compact bathroom, a wet room shower screen creates a more open and seamless look. By removing bulky frames or trays, wet room screens help the space feel less crowded. Position the shower screen near a corner or flush against a wall to free up more room. Choosing a clear glass shower panel with an easy clean coating applied also keeps things tidy and bright. For smaller layouts, a fixed panel is often the best enclosure style to maintain flow.

Choosing glass thickness

Most wet room shower screens are made using 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm toughened glass. Thicker glass adds weight and a more solid feel, while thinner options may cost less. All sizes are designed with safety in mind, helping to prevent breakage. The choice of mm affects both style and strength, so it is worth checking before you purchase.

What size do I need?

To find the right wet room shower screen, measure the area where the shower enclosure will be placed. Sizes are listed in mm, so check the width of your walk-in space carefully. Make sure the enclosure allows enough room to move without water escaping into the rest of the bathroom. Many enclosures come in standard widths to suit typical layouts. If unsure, speak to a fitter before making your purchase.

Installing without a tray

A wet room shower screen is designed to be installed straight onto a tiled floor, without a separate shower tray. The floor must have a gentle slope to direct water towards a central drain. Good drainage is essential to stop puddling outside the enclosure. A professional installer can ensure the fall is correct and watertight. These wet room screens are often fitted with a silicone seal where the glass meets the floor.

Compatible shower trays

While wet room shower screens can be installed without one, some layouts still benefit from a low-profile shower tray. A tray offers level access and makes water flow more predictable. It can be a useful option for timber floors or where tiling is difficult. If choosing this route, check that your screen is suitable for tray-based enclosures.

Wetroom screens FAQs

1. Can I put a shower screen in a wet room?

Yes, you can install wet room shower screens in a wet room to contain the water and define the shower area. These screens are designed for open plan wetrooms and don’t need a shower tray.

2. What are the benefits of a wet room bathroom?

A wet room uses all the bathroom space, looks sleek and modern. Easy access, great for mobility needs and simplifies cleaning with no corners and seals. Wetroom screens keep the area outside the shower dry.

3. What are the downsides?

Wet rooms need careful waterproofing and a sloping bathroom floor to prevent water pooling. They are more expensive to install than traditional shower enclosures. Without a shower tray, water will splash more, and you will need to clean wetroom glass screens more often.

4. Which flooring materials are unsuitable for wet rooms?

Porous or water-damaged flooring, like untreated wood or standard carpet, is not suitable for wet rooms. Flooring without proper waterproofing or slip resistance is a slipping and damage risk.

5. Will local councils pay for wet rooms for disabled people?

Some councils offer funding or grants to help with wet rooms for disabled people. This is dependent on individual circumstances and requires an assessment, so contact your local authority to check eligibility.

6. How do I clean wetroom glass screens?

An easy-to-clean coating is applied to many wetroom glass screens to prevent limescale and soap scum build up. Wipe with a squeegee or soft cloth after showering to keep shower screens clean and sparkling. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to maintain the glass thickness and quality.
