Kartell K-VIT KV8 Wetroom Screen with Profile Kit – Chrome (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.

The Kartell K-VIT KV8 screen is 8mm toughened glass standing a full 2000mm tall, with an easy-clean coating so water beads and runs off instead of drying into spots. Chrome profile.

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 chrome profile kit (KCCHROME-CONV), which is the wall profile and the bracing bar. You need both; the glass won't stand up without them.

The bracing bar is the horizontal arm that runs from the top of the glass back to the wall. It's what stops the panel flexing, and it's not optional. Check you have something solid to fix it to before you order — if the run back to a wall is too long or there's nothing to anchor into, you'll want the ceiling post instead, which braces upwards rather than sideways.

Your floor has to be right

This is the part people underestimate. 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.

If you want the walk-in look without tanking, a low profile tray with a wetroom-style screen is the safer route — worth a conversation before you commit.

Measuring up

Screens have far less adjustment than doors — about 15mm, against 40mm on a sliding door. Measure carefully 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 KCCHROME-CONV (barcode 5055681473013).

Finishing the opening

Two optional extras are worth considering:

• 300mm hinged return panel — a short pivoting panel at the open end that knocks back the spray. The single most effective way to reduce water escaping into the room.
• Decorative edge trim — a 2m chrome channel that caps the exposed vertical edge of the glass for a more finished look.
