Wet room screen with deflector or full shower enclosure?

[Newbie2025]

Hi, we're having a new bathroom installed and having a larger shower tray installed, we love the look of the wet room shower screen with a deflector however we're not sure if the water will still splash out and whether we should just go for a full enclosure with a sliding or hinged doors.
Looking for anyone's experience with a wet room screen and deflector and if it is enough to stop the water soaking everywhere?
Thank you

Not exactly the same scenario but when having our bathroom refurbished I was looking at having to pay thousands for a custom-size custom-shape shower enclosure because of the awkward ceiling slope where the shower was, if we wanted it to be fully enclosed. However my bathroom installer suggested that this wasn't actually necessary and we could achieve enclosure on 3 sides using standard readily available products and could leave the 4th side (the short end of a rectangle) open. I was uncertain but it seemed worth a try and we agreed we could always come back and get the hideously expensive custom-made thing done at a later date if it didn't work out. It is absolutely fine - spray really doesn't go beyond the screened part of the shower area and it's noce not hacing to be "shut in"

You don't need a deflector if the tray is large enough, just a straight screen.
We have a 170 tray with a 100 screen, unsupported in one room and 160 and 100 in the other with a 200 drying area at the end.
Matki euazone is expensive but unsupported at 100. cheaper brands will need the support arm over the top.

A fixed screen with a hinged deflector can work well, but it depends more on the layout than on the screen itself: the width of the screen, where the shower head points, how far the opening is from the spray, and whether there is a decent drying area beyond it. Keep the shower head aimed away from the opening and, if possible, mark the proposed screen and shower position out with tape before ordering. That often makes the likely splash zone obvious.

A full enclosure contains spray better, particularly if children will use it or the opening is close to the basin or loo, but it gives you more seals, runners and hinges to clean and maintain. Whichever you choose, the important bit is that the tray falls correctly, the waste can cope with the flow, and the walls/floor are properly tanked and sealed. I’d ask the installer to confirm those points as well as how they expect the screen to control splash.

An enclosure is warmer than a screen
