The Vela is a single fixed frameless glass panel that mounts along the side of a tub to keep shower spray off the floor. It uses 3/8-inch tempered glass with polished edges and a satin brass or other metal finish on the brackets, so it reads as a clean, minimal screen rather than a full enclosure. It suits tub-and-shower combos where a hinged door would swing into the room or where a fixed panel is enough to block splash. Against folding or sliding enclosures it offers fewer moving parts and easier cleaning, but it does not seal the tub, so some overspray still escapes at the open end.
