Walk-in

A walk-in shower screen is an open shower enclosure characterised by its design without shower doors or other movable parts. It is a fixed screen attached to the wall with a stabilising support bar. A walk-in shower enclosure offers several advantages that make it a popular choice in modern bathrooms. The main benefits of a walk-in shower screen include its minimalist, clean design, airy feel, easy access, and functionality. 

Walk-in shower screens are suitable for bathrooms of any size. In our range, you will find walk-in shower screens in various sizes, styles, and price categories. 

How to choose a walk-in shower enclosure

If you are deciding which walk-in shower screen to choose, we have prepared a few tips on what to focus on when making your choice.

Size of the walk-in shower screen

The first step when choosing a walk-in shower screen is to assess how much space you have available. A shower enclosure without doors can be installed in any bathroom, but you need to choose the right screen width. In our e-shop, we offer walk-in shower screens ranging in width from 32 cm up to 160 cm, so the selection is truly wide.

Choose the height of the walk-in shower enclosure with regard to the possibilities of your interior, but also according to the tallest member of the household. It is important to bear in mind that walk-in shower screens are not fully enclosed, so the showering area should be large enough to prevent water from splashing outside the designated area.

Orientation and placement of the walk-in shower enclosure

When choosing a walk-in shower screen, consider whether you want to place it against one or more walls and whether you want to install it directly on the floor or on a shower tray. In modern bathrooms, installation directly on the floor is popular because it creates a smooth, uninterrupted transition between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom. If you prefer a shower enclosure with a raised edge, you can choose a shower tray, which separates the shower space more clearly and ensures better water drainage. Do you not want to give up a shower tray, but still desire a seamless transition? Choose a low-profile shower tray that is elegant and stylish.

Type of glass in walk-in shower screens

A walk-in shower screen is made of durable safety glass, which may be clear, frosted, or patterned. Clear glass looks elegant and clean, while frosted and decorative glass provides a greater sense of privacy while showering. The glass thickness ranges from 6 mm up to 10 mm. Naturally, the thicker the glass, the stronger and more durable it is, but it is also more expensive. 

Special surface finishes

The price of a walk-in shower screen may also be influenced by its special surface finish. Maintaining walk-in shower enclosures is already easier thanks to the absence of doors, hinges, and moving parts. However, if you want to make cleaning your shower enclosure even easier, opt for special finishes that prevent water droplets from remaining on the glass.

SANITINO Tip: To keep your shower enclosure looking like new, we recommend using a glass squeegee after every shower. 

Design of an open shower enclosure

Walk-in shower screens are available in various designs that can be adapted to the style of your bathroom. Frameless walk-in screens have a minimalist appearance and provide clean lines that suit modern bathrooms. Framed walk-in screens feature a slim metal frame that provides sufficient stability and suits not only modern bathrooms, but also traditional or industrial ones. Metal parts may also come in different colours, with the most popular being chrome, black, or gold. 

Price, quality, and brands

The price of walk-in shower screens depends on the material, glass thickness, and design. Affordable walk-in shower enclosures can be purchased from CZK 2,500, while models for the most demanding users may cost more than CZK 25,000. It is definitely worth investing in a quality product that guarantees long service life and comfort.

In our e-shop, you will find walk-in shower screens from trusted manufacturers such as Ideal Standard, GELCO, Geberit, Jika, Kermi, Lansanit, OMNIRES, RAVAK, and others.
