An open walk-in shower and a closed shower with a sliding door both work well. The right choice depends on the space, the floor and how much you want to contain splashes.
Side by side

|---|---|---|
| Type | Fixed glass screen, open entrance | Sliding panel + fixed panel |
| Widths | 80, 100, 120 cm | 100, 120, 140, 160 cm |
| Height | 200 cm | 200 cm |
| Glass | 6 mm clear tempered | 6 mm clear tempered |
| Adjustment | ±20 mm each side | ±20 mm each side |
| Floor | Level-access tiled floor or low tray | Shower tray or level-access floor |
| Corner layout | Against a side wall | With the 80 cm side panel |
Choose a walk-in screen if…
- you want an open, bright shower without a door to handle
- you are planning a level-access tiled floor with a drain
- the shower area is long enough for the water to stay inside: place the shower head on the wall behind the glass
Choose a sliding door if…
- the shower is in an alcove between two walls
- you want a closed shower that keeps the heat in and contains splashes
- you are installing on an existing shower tray
Space and comfort
Neither option needs free space in front of the shower: the walk-in has no door, and the Corsa door slides along its own axis. For a very small square shower, the Corsa 80 × 80 enclosure is the third option.
Cleaning
In both cases, wipe the glass with a squeegee after each shower. The walk-in has only one panel to clean; the sliding door has a bottom track to keep free of soap residue.
