Kartell K-VIT KV8 Hinged Shower Door – Chrome (All Sizes)

A hinged door swings outwards on a hinge at one edge, giving you the widest possible opening for the wall it occupies. The Kartell K-VIT KV8 hinged door is the premium version — 8mm toughened glass, a taller 1950mm height, and an easy-clean coating on the glass.

The coating is the practical difference. Water beads and runs off rather than drying into limescale spots, so the glass needs wiping far less often than untreated glass. On a door you look at every day, that's worth more than the spec sheet suggests.

Recess or corner — build it here

Use the dropdowns above to build what you need. On its own the door fits a recess, with walls on both sides. Add a side panel and you have a corner enclosure.

The side panel is the depth of your shower and is chosen independently of the door width. Panels are 8mm glass matching the door, frameless on the outer edge, with about 20mm of adjustment.

Measuring up — read this before you order

Shower doors are sold by nominal size but fitted to an adjustment range, and it's the range that matters. Each door has roughly 40mm of built-in tolerance for walls that aren't plumb.

Measure your recess at floor level, at handle height, and near the top, then work to the narrowest of the three. If that figure sits inside the range below, the door fits.

Note there's no extension profile kit for KV8 — the SIXEXT kit is a KV6 part and won't fit an 8mm system. If you fall between two sizes on KV8, you must take the smaller door.

Mind the door entry width

A hinged door gives excellent access for its size — the 800mm door has a 660mm entry and the 900mm has 760mm. That's considerably better than a sliding door of similar width, where half the opening is fixed glass. The trade-off is that you need clear floor space in front for the door to swing into.
