Step 1:
Sketch elevation of your shower screen
Step 2:
Work out your door width (if required). Doors are available at 600mm, 610mm, 620mm, 630mm, 640mm and 650mm.
Step 3:
Now for required gaps between panels/wall:
- For a shower screen with just 1 panel: 3mm wall gap
- For 2 panel inline with a glass hung door (hinge panel + door): 9mm (3mm gaps either side of the door, plus 3mm between the wall and the hinge panel).
- For 2 panel inline with a wall hung door (fixed panel + door hinged off the wall): 13mm (7mm wall gap on the door's hinge side, 3mm between the door and the fixed panel, 3mm between the fixed panel and the wall).
- For inline shower screens consisting of 3 panels: 12mm (3mm gaps on either side of door, 3mm gap between wall and hinge panel + 3mm gap between wall and fixed panel).
- For square shower screens consisting of 3 panels (hinge panel + door + return panel): across front 19mm (includes 10mm thickness of return panel glass). Return panel: 3mm.
Step 4:
From your overall opening width, deduct door width and required gaps for your screen. This will give you the fixed/hinge panel width required to fit within your space.
With square screens, repeat the process to work out your return panel width.
Square Screen Example: Overall opening dimensions of 1059mm across the front. 963mm returning to back wall. Across the Front, and using a 600mm wide door: 1059mm – 600mm door 19mm total gaps = 440mm hinge panel. Return Panel width: 963mm – 3mm wall gap = 960mm return panel
