Shower Side Panels

What is a shower side panel?

A shower side panel works in tandem with a shower door to make an enclosure function properly. The door handles the entry point, and the side panel closes off the remaining open side, keeping water exactly where it should be kept. Without one, a single-wall shower installation leaves a gap that no amount of careful showering fully compensates for.

Do I need a shower side panel?

It depends on your layout, and the answer is usually obvious once you look at it. If your shower door sits against a single wall with one side open to the room, a side panel closes that gap and ensures the enclosure works as it should. If your shower is in a corner or alcove with walls on both sides, those walls do the job, and no panel is needed. The side panels in this range are designed specifically to work with the Easy shower door range, so it’s worth confirming compatibility before ordering.

What sizes are available in shower side panels?

Two widths are available, both at 1850mm in height to match the Easy shower door range. The 700mm panel suits narrower configurations where the open side of the enclosure is relatively tight, while the 900mm option is better suited to wider shower setups where more of the opening needs to be covered. Measuring the gap between the edge of your shower door and the nearest wall before ordering is the most reliable way to land on the right size.

What finishes are available in shower side panels?

Chrome and matt black are both available, each matching the corresponding shower door finish, so the door and panel sit together as one cohesive unit, rather than two separate pieces. Chrome works across almost any bathroom scheme without drawing attention to itself, while matt black adds a sharper, more deliberate contrast that suits contemporary spaces particularly well.

What glass is used in shower side panels?

Every panel in this range uses 6mm toughened safety glass, matching the thickness of the Easy shower door range that it’s designed to sit alongside. The 6mm specification gives the panel a solid presence and keeps any flex during use to a minimum, while toughened safety glass meets UK building regulations for wet-area installations as standard. Full instructions and fixings are included with every order.

Are shower side panels easy to install?

Yes, though the order of installation matters more than most people expect. Getting the side panel fixed to the wall before fitting the shower door makes aligning both elements significantly easier. If you’re also putting in a new shower tray, that should always go in first. Each panel fixes directly to the wall using the supplied brackets and fixings, with full instructions included.
