    Minimum size for a walk in screen instead of full door?

    Hi, Diyer here looking for some experienced opinions… I have a 3 walled alcove which I can get a 1200mm shower tray in. Is it realistic to go for a static screen with possibly a 300mm hinged return addition. Or is that just too small and will I end up with water all over outside the shower...
