Glass wet room panels are a popular choice for bathroom renovations, and for good reason. They're sleek, modern, and can add a touch of luxury to any space.

One of the key benefits of glass wet room panels is their water resistance. With a special coating that prevents water from seeping through, you can enjoy a spa-like experience without worrying about water damage.

Glass wet room panels are also incredibly low maintenance. They're easy to clean and can withstand exposure to water and soap, making them a practical choice for busy households.

In terms of durability, glass wet room panels can last for decades with proper care. This makes them a worthwhile investment for homeowners who want a long-lasting solution.

What is a Wet Room?

A wet room is a room that has been waterproofed throughout where the shower area is an open plan area and the water flows away through a drain in the floor.

The shower area in a wet room is often separated from the rest of the room by a glass panel that acts as a division.

Wet Room Size Requirements

To achieve maximum splash protection in a wet room, you want to maximise the width of the screen while allowing enough room to enter and exit the shower comfortably.

A useful tip is to measure out the space on the floor and see how you feel walking through the gap created.

A wet room screen can be used for a gap from around 1200mm minimum.

You can fit them into smaller spaces, but by the time you allow for the entrance gap, you are likely to get a lot of water coming out of the showering area.

Allowing an entrance space of 500-600mm is recommended, so subtract this from the width of the space available to work out your ideal screen size.
