Walk in Shower | Custom by DBM Factory

Walk-In Shower

A walk-in shower opens straight off the bathroom floor — no door, no swing, just a single glass partition guiding the water. The result reads like the open showers in a quiet hotel: you walk in, the room continues, the experience is calm. Owners ask for it by name once they have used one.

We design and produce each walk-in shower around your project. Share the bathroom layout, a floor plan, or a designer reference. We turn it into a working drawing and build the glass partition and supports ready for shipment.

Walk-In Shower

The Open Wet-Room — One Fixed Screen, No Door, and the Floor Fall That Holds the Water.

An open walk-in shower removes the door entirely. A single fixed screen guides the spray, the floor finish runs continuously through, and the bathroom reads as one calm wet-room. The configuration feels effortless, yet it depends on something the owner cannot see from a photo: the fall of the floor toward the drainage point.

Owners reach us drawn to that open, hotel-style read. The worry, once they consider it properly, is keeping the water where it belongs without a door to contain it. With no swing to close, the open layout relies on the screen position and the floor drainage working together. So the brief is really about the floor as much as the glass.

Why the Floor Decides an Open Walk-In.

The open configuration works for one reason owners rarely picture: the floor does the containment a door would otherwise provide. A continuous fall directs the water toward a drainage channel or a central point, so it never travels toward the dry bathroom. The fixed screen then handles the spray, while the floor fall manages the runoff that follows.

The trade-offs are honest, and they belong in the planning early. An open shower requires a properly built wet-area floor, since a flat or incorrectly graded floor lets water wander. The screen has to sit where it intercepts the spray without crowding the entry. We coordinate the glass to that floor design, though the wet-area construction itself sits with your contractor.

So the right answer turns on what the bathroom build can actually deliver. Where the floor can carry a proper fall and drainage, the open walk-in typically earns its place and reads beautifully. Where the construction cannot, a curbed or enclosed configuration may suit the room better, and we discuss that constraint before any glass is drawn.

How the Screen Responds to the Floor and Drainage.

A Linear Channel vs a Central Drain.

The drainage type sets the first variation. A linear channel along one wall pulls the fall in a single direction, which lets a long screen sit parallel and clean. A central point drain pulls the fall from several directions simultaneously, so the screen position has to accommodate that crossfall. We mark the screen line against the drainage configuration, so the glass sits where the water is already heading away.

A Flush Wet-Room vs a Low Curb.

The threshold sets the second variation. A flush wet-room runs the floor finish straight through, with no upstand at the entry and the screen base meeting the tile directly. A low curb adds a small upstand that helps contain water on heavier-use showers. The screen base configuration changes between the two, and we draw the fixing to match the threshold your build is using.

A Wall-Fixed Screen vs a Free Edge.

The screen support sets the last variation. A screen fixed along a wall return takes its stability from that wall, so a slimmer support can carry it. A screen ending in a free, open edge has no wall to lean on, which requires a sturdier fixing and often a discreet floor or ceiling stabiliser. We size the support to where the screen actually terminates in your layout.

What Coordination Looks Like for an Open Wet-Room.

Drawing-First Coordination begins with the part an open shower most depends on. We pin the screen line, the support, and the base detail against your floor fall and drainage before anyone cuts glass. The wet-area floor is your contractor's build, so the working drawing reads the screen to that floor and saves a clash on site.

Trial Assembly Before Packing then stands the screen and its support upright on our Guangdong workshop floor. We confirm the fixing, the alignment, and the edge finish, photograph the result, and take it apart for transport. We label the panel, brackets, and seal as they come off, so the build in your bathroom becomes a clean bolt-and-fix job.

Export-Ready Crating packs the parts in the order your fitter will raise them on site. We pad every glass edge and stand the screen vertical for the long ocean leg ahead. The crate lands ready to open, with the heavy panel seated low and the support hardware bagged for a safe, sorted lift.

What to Send Us About Your Wet-Room.

A bathroom plan or a quick phone photo of the space gives us plenty to begin with. Add the opening width where the screen will stand, and mark where the drain sits, since the drainage point shapes the screen line. Then tell us whether the floor uses a linear channel or a central point drain.

One more line of detail helps us draw the support. Tell us whether the screen meets a wall return or ends in a free edge, and which threshold the floor build uses. From there we turn your notes into a working drawing and a screen ready to ship.

After delivery, fitting is on your side. On site, your contractor or installer handled fitting directly from our drawings, with our assembly guide and step-by-step video to follow — or use your own local installer where needed.
