AKW Swift Half Height Shower Screens for Swift Trays (All Sizes)

These screens fit AKW Swift trays only. They are not interchangeable with standard Option E screens. Need the tray as well? See the AKW Swift Level Access Shower Tray.

These are the half height carer screens built specifically for the AKW Swift level access tray. The Swift tray has its own footprint, so it takes its own screen sizes — ordering a standard Option E screen for a Swift tray is a common and expensive mistake.

Half height means a carer can assist from outside the enclosure and stay dry, which is the whole point of the format. Bi-fold doors open inwards and outwards on 180 degree hinges, so the doorway stays clear for a wheelchair or a second person.

Which one do I need?

Match the screen to your tray size exactly. Square trays (795x795, 945x945, 1045x1045, 1245x1245) are non-handed — both panels are the same length, so the screen is symmetrical. Rectangular trays (1095x795, 1295x745) are handed. Standing at the entry corner facing the shower, left hand means the longer door panel is on your left, right hand means it is on your right. Getting handing wrong is the most common ordering mistake on these — the specification sheet below shows the left and right hand layouts as plan drawings if you want to check before ordering.

Every Swift screen is 750mm high. AKW do not produce a 900mm high version for the Swift tray, so there is no height choice to make.

Not every size is offered in both glass finishes. Standard glass covers 795x795, 945x945, 1095x795 and 1295x745. Silverdale frosted covers 945x945, 1045x1045, 1095x795 and 1245x1245.

Option E and Option E5

For the 1095x795 tray, AKW offer the screen in two door configurations. Option E is the standard bi-fold arrangement. Option E5 is an alternative configuration listed separately by AKW at the same price, and is worth considering where the room layout makes the standard door swing awkward. Both are 750mm high and both are handed. If you are unsure which suits your room, check with us before ordering.

Before you specify

AKW advise two things that are worth knowing before installation. Power showers should not be specified for use with AKW shower trays and screens. And only AKW screens should be used with AKW trays — mixing manufacturers can compromise the water seals.

Bottom door seals are water barriers rather than fully waterproof. If you are pairing the screen with a shower curtain, make sure the curtain is long enough to cover the door seals.
