A walk-in shower room with a long tray and a single glass screen
A long low tray behind one fixed glass screen, a thermostatic rainfall shower, and sparkle-effect panels on the walls with gloss cladding overhead.
The finished room. Long low tray and a single glass screen on the right, thermostatic rainfall shower, and the WC and vanity basin under the window.
This room was turned over to a walk-in shower. Instead of a cubicle with doors, a long low tray runs the length of one wall behind a single fixed glass screen, so you step straight in. The WC and a vanity basin sit side by side under the window, a chrome towel radiator is by the door, and the walls are white sparkle-effect panels with gloss cladding on the ceiling, so there is no grout anywhere in the room.
What we did
- Long low-profile shower tray along the back wall
- Fixed glass walk-in screen with a support arm to the wall
- Thermostatic bar shower with a rainfall head and handset
- White sparkle-effect wall panels, carried into the window reveal
- Gloss ceiling cladding with recessed downlights
- Close-coupled WC and a vanity unit with basin
- Chrome towel radiator
- Grey stone-effect flooring
Why a screen rather than a cubicle
A cubicle needs doors, and doors need room to open and runners to clean. A single fixed screen on a long tray does the same job with none of that. You walk in at the open end, the screen keeps the water on the tray, and the whole thing stays open and light, which matters in a room this size.
The tray is long rather than square for the same reason: the shower head sits at the far end, so the open end stays dry enough to step in and out without a wet floor.
Panels on the walls, cladding on the ceiling
Every wall is panelled rather than tiled, and the panels go into the window reveal as well, so there is no painted strip by the glass to blister. The ceiling is gloss cladding with the downlights set into it. In a shower room that is the surface that takes the steam, and cladding wipes down where a painted ceiling would start to mark.
It all adds up to a room with no grout lines and nothing that needs repainting, which is most of what makes a shower room easy to keep clean.
