Semi-frameless front-and-return shower screens

A front-and-return shower screen combines the front opening with a side panel. It is intended for a corner layout where one glass panel alone would not define the shower area. The front and return dimensions should be considered together.

Choosing & fitting

A front and glass side for a corner shower

A front-and-return semi-frameless screen provides the front opening and an adjoining side panel. It is intended for a different layout from a front-only assembly between existing sides. Confirm which side is the return on your bathroom plan.

Klay’s shop lists paired dimensions for this range. The front and return should be chosen as an approved combination rather than two unrelated measurements. The final opening, frame and glass specification need a check measure.

Orientation, door access and support

Mark the entry, shower head and return side before choosing a size. A mirrored layout can change which panel sits beside the vanity or toilet. Check the actual door movement and entry clearance against all surrounding fittings.

The installer needs to check wall alignment, floor levels, supporting surfaces and waterproofed areas. If the bathroom only needs a front, the separate front-only range may suit the layout better. Do not assume a return can be omitted from a paired assembly without changing the design.

Before you choose

Use the paired sizes listed in the shop rather than choosing unrelated front and side measurements.
Check door clearance, wall alignment and surrounding bathroom fittings with the installer.

Choose for your home

Choosing front-and-return shower screens for your space

Choose the front and adjoining return together. Their relationship to the walls, shower base and door opening determines whether the enclosure works.

Best starting point for a corner shower

Draw the front and return on a plan and label which side opens. Check the proposed door movement against the vanity and toilet.

The trade-off: The paired dimensions belong to the selected layout. Two independently chosen panel widths may not form a suitable enclosure.

Best starting point for a bathroom renovation

Confirm when the final measure can happen relative to tiling and other finished surfaces.

The trade-off: Approximate pre-renovation dimensions are not the final glass specification. Late layout changes can affect both panels and hardware.

Klay vs Regency

Lists wardrobe doors, frameless and semi-frameless shower screens, and mirrors.

When Regency may suit you better: A buyer wanting an alternative semi-frameless proposal for the whole corner enclosure.

Klay as an alternative: Confirm the exact front, return and door orientation before comparing prices. A front-only screen is a different scope, even if the finish looks similar.

Questions before you order

Frequently asked questions

Which measurement is the front and which is the return?

The front is the opening face; the return is the adjoining side. Send a simple plan or photo with your enquiry so the orientation can be confirmed before ordering.

What does return mean on a shower screen?

The return is the adjoining glass side at the corner. The front is the opening face. A simple plan helps identify both clearly before measurements are finalised.

Can I mix the front width from one pair with another return?

Use the supported paired dimensions shown for the model. Unlisted combinations require confirmation and should not be treated as interchangeable parts.

Can I reverse the corner arrangement?

Confirm the orientation, door position and supported assembly with Klay. Do not assume the same glass and hardware can simply be turned around on site.

Do I need a return if there is already a wall at the side?

Possibly not. Compare the front-only range and have the complete shower layout assessed so you order the correct enclosure.

Can a semi-frameless screen fix a leaking shower base?

A screen is not a replacement for sound waterproofing or a suitable base. Have existing leaks and supporting surfaces assessed before fitting a new enclosure.
