Wholesale Walk-In Shower Screens
Fixed-panel sourcing built around the complete wet zone
Walk-in shower screens use fixed glass panels to define an open-entry shower zone. WNS Global supports drawing-based sourcing where screen coverage, return panels, drainage, floor finish, wall conditions and room layout are confirmed for each project. This line is produced at our own base in Foshan, so a buyer deals with the sanitary ware manufacturer directly rather than through an intermediary.
Configuration range
Walk-In Shower Screen Types
Select the panel system first. Then confirm screen coverage, open entry, support, wall fixing, drain relationship and floor condition on the approved drawing.
Frameless Walk-In Shower Screens
Minimal visible framing keeps the wet zone open while panel dimensions, support direction, wall fixing, floor joint and splash coverage require approval.

Framed Walk-In Shower Screens
Profile-supported screens coordinate visible framing, wall adjustment, panel alignment, support hardware, floor or tray condition and the specified finish direction.
Discuss this configuration →
Single Fixed Shower Screens
One fixed panel creates a direct open entry when screen width, spray direction, user path, drainage and nearby fixtures are reviewed together.
Discuss this configuration →
Walk-In Screens with Return Panels
A return panel increases side coverage where its width, angle, support, cleaning access and relationship with the entry are confirmed.

Walk-In Screens for Wet Rooms

Buyer decisions
Common Sourcing Questions
Review the complete wet area, not only the glass panel.
How Wide Should It Be?
Width depends on shower position, spray direction, room depth, entry and drainage.
When Is a Return Panel Needed?
Use project review to decide whether extra side coverage supports splash control.
How Does Drainage Matter?
Floor slope and drain position direct water away from the open entry.
Is a Support Bar Required?
Support depends on panel geometry, mounting, walls and the approved system.
What Does a Wet Room Need?
Provide floor, drainage, waterproofing scope, access needs and local requirements.

Product definition
What Is a Walk-In Shower Screen?
A walk-in shower screen is generally a fixed glass panel system that forms an open shower entry without a full door enclosure.
Some layouts include a return panel for additional side coverage. The return may be fixed or another technically approved configuration.
A walk-in screen is not a guarantee of water containment. Drainage, floor slope, shower direction, panel coverage and room planning determine the complete result.
Decision guide
Shower Solution Comparison
Compare openness, water planning and moving parts against the actual bathroom.
| Option | Openness and entry | Splash and drainage | Moving parts and site needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walk-in screens | Direct open entry with fixed-panel coverage | Requires coordinated screen width, floor falls and drainage | Few moving parts; wall and floor fixing still matter |
| Sliding enclosures | Defined entry within overlapping panels | More enclosed boundary with track and seal relationships | Rollers, track access and lateral movement require review |
| Hinged enclosures | Direct opening where swing space is available | Door, seals and threshold form the selected boundary | Wall support, handing and full swing must be confirmed |
| Folding doors | Articulated panels reduce some opening projection | Boundary depends on panels, seals and tray relationship | Multiple hinges and folded position need coordination |

Buyer questions
Walk-In Shower Screen FAQ
Project-specific answers remain subject to approved drawing and project confirmation.
No fixed screen guarantees full water containment. Splash performance depends on panel coverage, shower position, user direction, drainage, floor slope and the room layout.
A walk-in screen is generally based on a fixed panel. Some projects add a fixed return panel or an approved movable return section.
The open entry relies on controlled floor falls and a suitable drain position. Drainage design and local waterproofing responsibility must be confirmed before purchase.
Consider a return panel when room depth, spray direction or nearby fixtures require more side coverage. Confirm its size, angle and support on the drawing.
They can form part of a wet-room plan, but floor construction, drainage, waterproofing, access and local requirements remain project-specific.
Support depends on panel dimensions, mounting system, wall conditions and the approved configuration. Do not remove or reposition support without technical review.
Minimum order quantity depends on the approved configuration, dimensions, finish, packaging, labeling and order mix. Share the required quantity for commercial confirmation.
Yes, subject to technical and commercial confirmation. Send drawings, finished dimensions, drainage information, quantities, target market, finish and packaging requirements.

Wet Room vs Shower Enclosure
Contain the water, or waterproof the room. The risk moves with it.
What Is a Wet Room?
A waterproofing strategy, not a shower without a door.
How to Specify an Accessible Bathroom
Approach, transfer and reach decide the plan before any fixture.
Linear Drain vs Point Drain
One plane or four. Large tiles settle the argument.

Toughened glass has no adjustment. Measure after tiling.
