AKW Option HFW Full Height Wet Floor Shower Screen Set – Choice of Width

AKW Option HFW Full Height Wet Floor Shower Screen Set – Choice of Width

The AKW Option HFW is a full height shower screen set made for wet floor (wet room) formers. At about 1.9 metres tall it gives the full splash protection and privacy of a standard enclosure, while keeping the practical AKW care features – an easy-to-open door, robust fittings and shatterproof panels – that make it suitable for accessible and assisted bathrooms.

Each set comes with a white frame with frosted, shatterproof PET panels. Option HFW screens one open side of the showering area; sizes are given as the screen width. It is offered in 5 sizes, 1880mm high. An L-shaped curtain rail and white curtain are included as standard, giving extra privacy and water control above the screen.

How to choose the right size

• Measure the wet floor area: choose the width that matches the open side you want to screen.
• Who it suits: wheelchair users, people who need help to shower, care homes, hospitals and any home being adapted for later life.

Installation notes

AKW recommends using its screens only with AKW trays and formers, as other makes can compromise the water seals. Power showers should not be used with AKW trays and screens. The bottom door seals are water barriers rather than fully waterproof seals, so if you use a shower curtain make sure it is long enough to protect them. Installation should be carried out by a competent fitter.
