Space-Saving Sliding Design
The sliding panel opens within the footprint of the enclosure instead of swinging out into the room. This makes the KV8 a practical option for compact bathrooms and layouts where a basin, toilet, radiator or bathroom furniture is positioned near the shower entrance.
The door provides an entry width of approximately 500mm, delivering comfortable access while keeping the enclosure footprint contained within the showering area.
Premium 8mm Toughened Glass
The enclosure is manufactured using substantial 8mm toughened safety glass. The clear finish creates a bright, open appearance while allowing surrounding tiles and decorative finishes to remain visible. A chrome-finished aluminium profile complements chrome taps, showers, wastes and bathroom accessories.
Easy-Clean Glass Coating
The glass has an easy-clean treatment designed to reduce the effort required for routine maintenance. The treated surface helps limit the build-up of water deposits, soap residue and everyday bathroom grime. For the best results, use a shower squeegee after each use and clean regularly with a soft cloth and a suitable non-abrasive cleaner.
Flexible Reversible Installation
The fully reversible design allows left- or right-hand access to be configured during installation. The door can be fitted between two prepared walls to form a recess enclosure. It can also be paired with a compatible Kartell KV8 frameless side panel to create a corner enclosure.
Please note: The side panel, shower tray, waste and shower fittings are sold separately unless explicitly included in a retailer package.

Important Measuring Information
The 1200mm measurement is the nominal product size. This shower door is designed for a finished opening between 1150mm and 1190mm. Measure only after tiles or finished wall coverings have been installed. Measure the top, middle and bottom of the opening and use the smallest measurement.
Installation Advice
Professional installation is recommended due to the size and weight of the 8mm glass panels. The shower tray or finished floor must be secure and level, and the supporting walls must be suitable for installation. Always follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions. The installer should confirm that the supplied fixings are appropriate for the wall construction.
