Can you put a glass shower screen in a wet room?

For homeowners across the UK, wet rooms are becoming an increasingly popular investment – and it’s easy to see why.

Glass shower screens are a sleek and stylish addition to a home, and offer a great way to increase the usability of (and add a touch of luxury to) a bathroom.

When working with customers debating whether to build a wet room, one of the most common FAQs that our team receives is, ‘can you add glass shower screens to a wet room?’

The short answer is yes, you can have glass shower screens in a wet room. In fact, they’re a great way to make this space more usable and easier to maintain.

Below, we’ve explored the benefits of investing in a glass shower screen, and outlined how glass shower screens can be installed in a wet room.

Can you fit a shower screen in a wet room?

Yes, you can have a glass shower screen in a wet room.

This is because wet rooms are specially designed to be waterproofed, with drainage installed to allow water to automatically flow out of the room.

In fact, there are a range of different options for installing a glass shower screen in a wet room.

Property owners can either install a glass shower screen with the wet room as it is built, or as an extra addition to a wet room. You can add a glass shower screen to any wet room with the correct fittings.

Glass shower screens can either be fitted into the room using a shower tray, or directly onto the floor of the wet room itself.

The best-fit option for your property will depend on a number of different factors, including the layout of your wet room, how your wet room is designed, and the space that is available.

If you’d like to find out more about the options available for you, and explore the different glass shower screens and fittings that you have to choose from, you can speak to Stevenage Glass’ team of dedicated specialists.
