Kartell K-VIT Nero Straight Bath Screen 1400 x 780mm – Matt Black (NER-SSS / NER-SS)

Kartell K-VIT Nero Straight Bath Screen 1400 x 780mm – Matt Black (NER-SSS / NER-SS)

The Nero is the matt black version of Kartell's bath screen – a single hinged panel in 6mm toughened glass, 1400mm tall and 780mm wide, with a slim matt black profile instead of chrome. It is the screen to choose when the brassware is black and a chrome frame would be the one thing in the room that did not match.

Square edge or radius edge?

This is the shape of the top outer corner, and it is purely a matter of looks – both are the same size, the same glass and the same price.

• Square edge (NER-SSS) – a right-angled corner. Crisper, and the better match for a square bath or square brassware.
• Radius edge (NER-SS) – a curved corner. Softer, and the traditional bath screen shape.

Specification

Before you order

• Check what is behind the tiles. The screen fixes to the wall and needs something solid to fix into – worth planning before the tiling goes on rather than after.
• Leave room for it to swing. The panel opens out into the room, so check nothing is in its arc.
• Black shows water marks more than chrome. Not a fault, just the nature of a dark frame in a wet room – a squeegee and a wipe down keeps it looking right.
• It is a screen, not an enclosure. At 780mm it covers the showering end of the bath rather than its full length, so expect some splash beyond it.

Fitting tips

Fit the bath and let the silicone seal along the walls cure fully before hanging the screen, so the bath cannot settle afterwards and break the seal. Seal along the bottom where the screen meets the bath rim, and leave the vertical wall joint until last so any water that does get behind can find its way back into the bath.
