AKW Option UW Shower Screens Suitable For Wet Floors (All Sizes)

AKW Option UW Half Height Shower Screen – Suitable for Wet Floors

The AKW Option UW is part of AKW’s market-leading range of half height shower screens, designed specifically for level-access wet floor (wet room) installations where there is no shower tray. Its half height format provides effective splash and water protection while keeping the showering area completely open and step-free – ideal for accessible and assisted wet rooms.

The lower screen height allows a carer to assist the user while staying dry, supporting safe, dignified and independent showering at home or in a care setting. Manufactured to AKW’s exacting standards, the Option UW combines a rigid, corrosion-resistant frame with lightweight, shatterproof PET glazing for everyday durability. It is available in both left-hand and right-hand configurations in a 750mm screen height, so you can match the screen precisely to your wet room layout.
