Quick Answer
What is a walk-in shower screen?
A walk-in shower screen is a fixed glass panel that separates an open shower area from the rest of the bathroom without requiring a conventional shower door.
Planning Matters
The right screen depends on the shower area, entrance width, shower position and the wider wet-area layout.
Walk-In Planning Studio
Start with the room, not the panel
A walk-in screen should be selected as part of the bathroom layout. Explore three common planning approaches below. These are conceptual examples rather than installation drawings.
Select a layout
Important
Final screen size and support should be based on the actual bathroom and selected shower configuration.
Wet Area
Open Entry
Current Layout
Single Fixed Panel
A fixed panel defines one side of the wet area while leaving a clear open entrance into the shower.
Choosing Screen Size
How wide should a walk-in shower screen be?
There is no universal screen width that works for every bathroom. The correct size depends on how much shower area is available and how the open wet zone needs to work.
Entry width
The panel needs to provide useful separation while leaving comfortable access into the shower.
Shower position
The location and direction of the shower source influence how the screen should relate to the wet zone.
Surrounding bathroom
Vanities, sanitaryware, circulation space and the finished room all form part of the final decision.
Open Shower Planning
A walk-in screen is not the same as a fully enclosed cubicle
Fixed glass helps define the shower area, but an open entrance remains open. Water behaviour therefore depends on more than the panel alone. The screen needs to work with the wider bathroom and wet-area design.
Position and direction of the shower outlet influence the wet area.
Glass placement should relate to the most exposed side of the shower zone.
The floor and drainage strategy remain part of the complete open-shower design.
Entry must remain practical without undermining the usefulness of the glass panel.
Practical Point
Plan the entire wet area — not only the glass.

Need Different Dimensions?
Standard does not need to be forced into a custom bathroom
Where the opening, wall conditions or intended glass configuration fall outside the standard product route, RONAL can approach the screen as a made-to-measure shower project.
The Custom Route
From bathroom layout to installed glass
Custom walk-in screens follow the room rather than a predetermined product size.
Review
Understand the bathroom, wet area and project stage.
Measure
Confirm the actual dimensions of the finished space.
Configure
Determine panel layout, position and required support.
Prepare
Prepare the glass and components to the agreed specification.
Install
Professionally fit the screen where regional service applies.
Shower Spaces
Fixed glass should feel part of the architecture
The same idea can create very different results depending on the proportions, position and wider design of the bathroom.

Walk-In Shower FAQs
Questions before choosing the glass
Practical answers about screen sizing, fixed panels, open showers and standard versus made-to-measure options.
What is a walk-in shower screen?
A walk-in shower screen is a fixed glass panel
that separates an open shower area from the rest
of the bathroom without requiring a conventional
shower door.
How wide should a walk-in shower screen be?
There is no single correct width for every bathroom.
Screen size should be determined by the available
shower area, entrance, shower position, surrounding
fixtures and overall wet-area layout.
Can a walk-in shower screen be made to measure?
Yes. A bespoke fixed glass panel can be configured
according to the actual dimensions and requirements
of the bathroom.
Does a walk-in shower screen stop all water?
A fixed screen helps separate the wet area, but
a walk-in shower remains open rather than fully
enclosed. Water behaviour therefore also depends
on screen position, shower direction and the wider
wet-area design.
Does RONAL offer standard walk-in shower screens?
Selected Ultimate single-panel screens are available
in 900 × 2000, 1000 × 2000 and 1200 × 2000
configurations, alongside the custom shower route.
Which finishes are available on the standard Ultimate screens?
The selected standard Ultimate screens are available
in silver, black, gold, gun metal, nickel and copper
finishes.
What should I send when requesting a quote?
