What type of Shower Screen is required?

Shower screens come in many configurations, with doors that can either Pivot, Slide, Bi-Fold or possibly even Fold & Pivot combined. You could also choose a ‘walk in’ shower screen. These are normally fixed glass panels comprising of anything from one straight panel to three panels depending on your choice of configuration. Walk in panels are normally associated with wet room floors but some can be installed onto certain types of shower tray. Below you will see some images of different shower screen and shower panel options to ease identifying your preferred choice.
