Kartell K-VIT Koncept 1400x1000mm Straight Bath Screen with Square Edge and Extension Panel 6mm (KONSSS1)

A bath screen keeps the water in when you shower over the bath. This is the Kartell K-VIT Koncept straight screen with a square top edge and an integrated 220mm extension panel — the widest coverage in the Koncept bath screen range at 1000mm overall.

Why the extension panel matters

A standard bath screen is 780mm wide, which covers the shower end of the bath but leaves a gap where water can still escape past your shoulder. The extension panel adds a fixed 220mm section, taking total coverage to 1000mm.

It's worth having if you have a powerful shower, if the bath sits against a wall you'd rather keep dry, or if whoever uses it tends to move about. The trade-off is that the fixed section can't be swung out of the way, so getting in and out of the bath is slightly more restricted than with a plain 780mm screen.

Square edge or radius edge?

Purely aesthetic — they're the same screen otherwise, same price, same fittings.

• Square edge (this one) has a straight, sharp top corner. It suits a squared-off bath and a more contemporary, angular bathroom.
• Radius edge has a gently curved top corner, which sits more comfortably with a rounded or P-shaped bath.

Match it to the shape of your bath and the rest of the room rather than agonising over it.

Fitting and use

The hinged main panel rotates through 90° in both directions, so it folds flat against the wall or swings out over the bath — useful for cleaning the glass and for getting in and out. The wall profile gives 20mm of adjustment, enough for walls that aren't quite plumb but far less than a shower door, so measure at the top and bottom of where the profile will sit.

It fits any flat-topped bath and can be fitted at either end. Fixings are supplied.
