Walk-In
Shower Screens
Minimal frameless shower screens designed to create a more open bathroom layout with fixed glass panels, cleaner lines and easier access.
Fixed glass shower panels for open bathroom layouts
Walk-in shower screens are a simple and modern way to create an open shower area without using a hinged door or sliding system.
Instead of closing the shower off completely, a walk-in screen usually uses one fixed glass panel to separate the wet area from the rest of the bathroom. This helps keep the layout open, minimal and easy to access.
As part of our frameless shower screen range, our walk-in panels are custom measured after tiling and made to suit the finished bathroom, including the glass height, panel width, wall alignment, floor fall and fixing method.
Walk-in shower screens are commonly used in larger bathrooms, ensuites, wet-room style layouts and renovations where a clean, open-entry design is preferred over a standard hinged shower screen or sliding shower screen.
When a walk-in shower screen makes sense
Walk-in shower screens work best when the bathroom has enough room for an open-entry layout. They keep the shower area simple, easy to access and visually clean, without needing a door, track or bulky frame.
No door required
A fixed glass panel keeps the shower open and easy to enter without needing a hinged door or sliding system.
Clean minimal look
With fewer moving parts and minimal hardware, walk-in screens suit modern bathrooms where a simple frameless finish is preferred.
Easy everyday access
The open-entry layout can make the shower easier to use, especially in larger bathrooms, ensuites and wet-room style spaces.
Custom made panels
Each panel is measured after tiling so the glass size, height, fixing method and finish suit the completed bathroom.
Walk-in shower screen layouts we can custom make
Walk-in shower screens can be designed in different ways depending on the bathroom size, shower head position, floor fall and the look you want. The main goal is to keep the bathroom feeling open while still giving enough glass coverage for everyday use.
Single fixed panels
A simple fixed glass panel for open-entry shower layouts, commonly used in ensuites, larger bathrooms and wet-room style spaces.
Radius corner panels
Curved or radius corner glass can soften the edge of a walk-in shower and create a more custom designer finish.
Reeded glass panels
Fluted or reeded glass adds privacy and texture while still keeping the walk-in shower open and light.
Full-height panels
A taller walk-in panel can create a more built-in architectural look, especially where the glass runs closer to the ceiling.
Walk-in shower screen glass options
Clear Glass
Reliable, practical and the most cost-effective option for most frameless walk-in shower panels.
Low Iron Glass
A premium ultra-clear option that reduces green tint and helps bathroom tiles look cleaner and brighter.
Fluted Glass
Textured glass that adds privacy and design detail while still allowing light through the shower area.
Brackets, wall channels and hardware finishes
Walk-in shower screens are usually fixed with wall brackets, a slim wall channel or a combination of fittings depending on the layout, glass size and finish you want.
Wall brackets
A minimal option where small brackets are used to secure the fixed glass panel to the wall, keeping the screen light and frameless.
Slim wall channel
A clean option where the glass sits inside a narrow wall channel. This can be useful for larger panels, uneven walls or a more continuous finish.
Support arms
Some walk-in panels may need a support arm or stabilising fitting depending on the glass size, position and how the panel is fixed.
Matching finishes
20+ finishes available including chrome, matte black, brushed brass and brushed nickel.

Walk-in shower screens vs hinged and sliding shower screens
Walk-in shower screens are a great option when you want an open-entry bathroom layout, but they are not the right fit for every space. The best choice usually depends on bathroom size, shower head position, floor fall, water control and how much entry space you want.
Walk-In Shower Screens
Walk-in shower screens are usually best when the bathroom has enough room for a fixed glass panel and open entry.
- No door or sliding track required
- Clean, minimal frameless appearance
- Easy access into the shower area
- Works well in larger bathrooms and wet-room style layouts
- Can be made with clear, low iron or reeded glass
- Needs enough space and floor fall for good water control
Hinged or Sliding Screens
Hinged shower screens and sliding shower screens are often better when the shower opening needs to be closed off more.
- Better suited to smaller shower openings
- Can help contain water more than an open walk-in layout
- Hinged doors give wide direct entry where there is swing clearance
- Sliding screens suit tighter bathrooms with limited door swing space
- Useful near vanities, toilets, baths and towel rails
- Can still achieve a clean frameless look

FAQs
Common questions about walk-in shower screens, fixed glass panels, water control, glass options, custom sizing and installation.
What is a walk-in shower screen?
A walk-in shower screen is usually a fixed glass panel that separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom without using a door. It creates an open-entry shower layout with a clean, minimal look.
Walk-in screens are commonly used in larger bathrooms, ensuites and wet-room style layouts where there is enough room for open access and good water control.
Are walk-in shower screens frameless?
Most walk-in shower screens we install are frameless or near-frameless, using minimal fittings such as wall brackets, a slim wall channel, floor fixing or a support arm where required.
They are part of our frameless shower screen range and are custom made to suit the finished bathroom.
Do walk-in shower screens stop all water from escaping?
Walk-in shower screens help control water, but they do not seal the shower area completely because there is no door. The result depends on the panel size, shower head position, floor fall and how the shower is used.
A larger fixed panel, good floor fall and a well-positioned shower head will usually give better water control than a small panel in a tight layout.
How wide should a walk-in shower panel be?
The ideal panel width depends on the bathroom layout, shower head position and how much entry space you want to leave open. A wider panel can help with water control, while a smaller panel can keep the entry more open.
We measure and quote each walk-in screen based on the finished tiled bathroom, rather than forcing the layout around a standard panel size.
Can walk-in shower screens be custom made?
Yes. Walk-in shower screens are custom made to suit the finished bathroom, including the panel width, height, glass type, fixing method, wall alignment and floor fall.
Final measurements are usually taken after waterproofing, wall tiling and floor tiling are complete.
What glass thickness is used for walk-in shower screens?
Most frameless walk-in shower panels are made from 10mm toughened safety glass. This gives the panel a solid feel while keeping the screen clean and minimal.
Some layouts may need to be assessed based on panel size, fixing method and whether extra support is required.
Can I choose clear, low iron or fluted glass?
Yes. Walk-in shower screens can be made in standard clear glass, low iron glass or fluted / reeded glass, depending on the look and privacy level you want.
Clear glass is the most common and cost-effective option. Low iron glass gives a brighter ultra-clear finish, while reeded glass adds privacy and texture.
Can a walk-in shower screen be full height?
Yes. A walk-in shower panel can be made as a full-height shower screen where the design calls for taller glass or a more built-in architectural look.
Full-height panels need to be planned carefully around ceiling height, ventilation, fixing points and bathroom layout.
Can walk-in shower screens have black frames or grid panels?
Yes. Walk-in panels can be made with frameless glass, slim perimeter framing, black frame styling or grid-style detailing depending on the look you want.
For a stronger feature look, you may also want to view our black frame shower screens.
What hardware finishes are available?
Walk-in shower panel hardware can be selected to work with your bathroom fittings, including brackets, wall channel, support arms and other visible fittings.
Common finishes include chrome, matte black, brushed brass and brushed nickel, along with gun metal and other specialty finishes.
Are walk-in shower screens suitable for small bathrooms?
Sometimes, but not always. A walk-in shower screen needs enough space for open entry and enough glass coverage to help control water.
In tighter bathrooms, a hinged shower screen or sliding shower screen may be more practical.
