Kartell K-VIT KV8 Wetroom Screen with Profile Kit – Brushed Nickel (All Sizes)

A wetroom screen is a single fixed pane of glass with no door — you simply walk in past it. It's the most open way to build a shower, and the easiest to clean, because there's no track, no rollers and no seals to collect limescale.

This is the brushed nickel version — a softer, warmer grey than chrome, without the mirror shine. It sits comfortably alongside brushed nickel taps and shower valves where polished chrome would look out of place. The glass is 8mm toughened, a full 2000mm tall, with an easy-clean coating.

What's in the box

Kartell sell the glass and the fixing hardware as two codes, and this listing supplies both together — the glass panel plus the brushed nickel profile kit (KCNICK-CONV), which is the wall profile and the bracing bar. You need both; the glass won't stand up without them.

The nickel kit costs more than the chrome equivalent, which is why the same glass is dearer in this finish. That's the metalwork, not the glass.

The bracing bar is the horizontal arm running from the top of the glass back to the wall. It stops the panel flexing and isn't optional — check you have something solid to fix it to before ordering.

One thing to know about this finish

Kartell do not make the decorative edge trim in brushed nickel. It's available in chrome, brushed brass and black only. If the exposed vertical edge of the glass matters to you visually, that's worth knowing before you commit to nickel — the alternatives are to leave the polished glass edge bare, which most people find perfectly acceptable, or choose a different finish.

Your floor has to be right

A wetroom screen has no tray and no upstand — water hits the floor and has to run away on its own. That means either a fully tanked floor with a fall to a drain, or a wetroom floor former set into the joists. Fitting a screen over a level, untanked floor will flood the room.

Measuring up

Screens have far less adjustment than doors — about 15mm, against 40mm on a sliding door. Measure at floor level and at the top of where the profile will sit, and work to the narrower figure.

Sizes, adjustment ranges and codes

Every size is supplied with profile kit KCNICK-CONV (barcode 5055681473044).

Finishing the opening

• 300mm hinged return panel — available in matching brushed nickel. A short pivoting panel at the open end that knocks back the spray, and the most effective way to reduce water escaping into the room.
