ok so my shower enclosure stops about 40 cm from the ceiling and in my effort to reduce the draughts in the bathroom (from the extractor fan, in the shower enclosure) i want to fill this in with a piece of polycarbonate sheeting. Basically so when the shower door is closed cold air from the extractor fan vent cant escape (shower door has a pretty good seal on it)

Anyway, i can get a sheet of polycarbonate cut to size online, but not sure of the best way to fix it to the walls either side. I was thinking of just some small 90 degree brackets in the corners, but wondered if theres any other method that will look neat, eg some specially designed metal / plastic sort of rail you screw to the wall and it clips in.

Probably not describing what i'm looking for very well, but maybe someone knows what i have in my head 😕

would an easier and neater solution not be to fit inline shutters into your fan - fan on - shutters open - fan off shutter shut ?

we had one in a rental , made quite a difference as the wind used to whistle in before it was fitted.

If you know a good type of these I'd like to knjow - our bathroom fan has a grille on it but it's just open all the time.
