Kartell K-VIT KV8 Sliding Shower Screens
Kartell K-VIT KV8 Sliding Shower Door
Bring contemporary, hotel-style luxury into your home with the Kartell K-VIT KV8 Sliding Shower Door — the flagship of Kartell's premium enclosure collection. Engineered from thick 8mm toughened safety glass and finished with bright polished-silver profiles, the KV8 creates a sleek, light-filled enclosure that elevates any bathroom, from compact en-suites to spacious family wet spaces.
Its smooth sliding action is the practical hero of the range: the door glides effortlessly along its track and opens without any outward swing, making it the ideal choice for recess and alcove installations where every centimetre counts. With no door to pull open into the room, the KV8 also offers genuinely easy, comfortable step-in access — a thoughtful benefit for anyone who values a more accessible bathroom.
Pair the sliding door with a matching frameless side panel to turn a single recess into a complete corner enclosure, tailored precisely to your space.
Why Choose the KV8 Sliding Door?
- Premium 8mm glass — noticeably more substantial and reassuring than budget 4mm and 6mm doors.
- Built-in wall adjustment to cope with out-of-true walls, common in older UK homes.

- Backed by a lifetime guarantee for total peace of mind.

Fitting
The KV8 is designed to be installed against a finished, tiled recess, sitting on a shower tray or level wet-room floor. Adjustment within the profiles allows for walls that are slightly out of square. We recommend fitting by a competent installer to protect your lifetime guarantee.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe the glass after use with a soft cloth or squeegee to make the most of the easy-clean coating. Avoid abrasive creams, scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the coating — warm water with a little mild detergent is all you need to keep the glass gleaming.
Combining robust 8mm engineering, refined styling and a lifetime guarantee, the Kartell K-VIT KV8 Sliding Shower Door is a smart, lasting upgrade for any bathroom.
