Best Fixed Shower Screens for Every Bathroom
A fixed shower screen is a stationary glass panel that partially encloses a walk-in shower without a swinging or sliding door. Unlike a traditional shower enclosure, a fixed screen creates an open, minimal shower entrance — a design approach commonly used in contemporary bathrooms, wet rooms, and open-plan bathroom layouts.
VIGO fixed shower screens are available in framed, semi-framed, and frameless configurations. The right choice depends on the shower depth, the desired level of water containment, and the finish that coordinates with the bathroom's existing hardware.

How to Choose the Best Fixed Shower Screen
1. Confirm Your Shower Depth
A minimum shower depth of approximately 36 inches is a common guideline for fixed screens, but the ideal depth depends on the showerhead type, water pressure, and spray angle. Deeper showers provide better water containment with a fixed screen.
2. Choose Between Frameless, Semi-Framed, and Framed
A frameless screen provides the most open appearance with minimal visible hardware. A framed screen adds visual definition and structural support. A semi-framed screen falls between the two.
3. Coordinate the Finish
Choose a finish that coordinates with the most visible bathroom fixtures. VIGO fixed shower screens are available in Matte Black, Stainless Steel, Chrome, and Brushed Nickel, depending on the model.
4. Match the Collection
If your bathroom already features Meridian-collection products — shower panels, faucets, or accessories — choose a Meridian fixed shower screen to maintain a consistent design language across all bathroom hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fixed shower screen?
A fixed shower screen is a stationary glass panel that partially encloses a walk-in shower without a swinging or sliding door. It creates an open, minimal shower entrance commonly used in contemporary and wet-room-inspired bathrooms.
Do fixed shower screens keep water inside?
Fixed screens can control water effectively when the shower is sufficiently deep and the showerhead points away from the entrance. They provide less complete containment than a fully enclosed shower door, so layout and fixture placement are important.
What is the difference between a frameless and framed shower screen?
A frameless screen uses minimal visible metal and creates the most open appearance. A framed screen adds metal framing around the glass for visual definition and structural support. A semi-framed screen falls between the two.
How deep does a shower need to be for a fixed screen?
A minimum shower depth of approximately 36 inches is a common guideline, but the ideal depth depends on the showerhead type, water pressure, and spray angle. Deeper showers provide better water containment with a fixed screen.
Can I install a fixed shower screen myself?
Some experienced homeowners can install a fixed shower screen, but large tempered-glass panels are heavy and must be handled carefully. Installation generally requires two people, accurate measurements, and close adherence to the manufacturer's instructions.
What finish should I choose for my fixed shower screen?
Choose a finish that coordinates with the most visible bathroom fixtures. VIGO fixed shower screens are available in Matte Black, Stainless Steel, Chrome, and Brushed Nickel, depending on the model.
