Bathroom screens are special barriers that cover the space from the floor to the top edge of the bathroom. They can have a purely decorative function: to hide from prying eyes all the plumbing fixtures located under the bathtub, and can also be used as a way to isolate additional storage space for household chemicals and toiletries.
Fixed screens for the bathroom
Bathroom screens can be made fixed or sliding. The first ones are used purely for decorative purposes. Such screens can be purchased additionally after the installation of plumbing is completed and installed under the bathtub, or they can be included in the repair plan in advance and laid out from the material with which the walls of the room are finished. So, if you have tiled walls, then you can make a screen under the bathtub from tiles.

The stationary screen, purchased additionally, is called a screen-panel under the bathtub. The big disadvantage of this design is that such screens completely isolate the lower part of the plumbing wiring, and it is impossible to quickly reach it in the event of a breakdown. It is necessary to completely or partially dismantle the entire fixed screen. To solve this problem, it is recommended to purchase panels or build a screen so that it has at least a small door or hole for access to the interior space under the bathtub.
