3-5 Days Lead Time
A recess is the tidiest shower a bathroom can have — three walls already built, nothing to enclose but the fourth side. Battant is the single piece of glass that closes it. It swings on a pivot rather than a hinge, which means the door carries its own weight on a pin at the top and bottom instead of hanging off the frame. It opens wider than a hinged door of the same width and it stays true for longer, because nothing is being pulled sideways every time it is used. 6mm toughened glass, 1850mm tall, with 60mm of adjustment in the wall profile for a recess that is not quite square — which is most of them. Reversible, so it suits an opening on either hand. Brushed brass, matt black or chrome. Guaranteed for life.

What size door do I need for my recess?
Measure the recess opening at the top, the middle and the bottom, and order to the smallest of the three. The 60mm adjustment in the profile takes up the difference. Ordering to the widest measurement is the most common mistake and the door will not fit.
Do I need a side panel with it?
Not in a recess. Battant is designed to close a three-walled opening on its own. If your shower has only two walls, the Coulisse enclosure or a Voile screen is the right answer instead.
Can it open outwards into a small bathroom?
A pivot door needs clear space in front of it to open, so measure the swing before committing — around 700mm of clear floor is comfortable. Where that space does not exist, the Pliant bi-fold folds inward on itself and needs almost none.
