A shower screen is a functional and essential bathroom accessory, enhancing the space and providing an alternative to a bath curtain. Whether you’re installing new or replacing an existing shower enclosure, there are plenty of options to choose from.
These screens utilise toughened safety glass to comply with Australian standards. This type of glass shatters into small, rounded pieces and is safer than regular glass in the event of an accident or breakage.
Framed
Fully framed shower screens provide extra stability and support with a frame surrounding the glass panels. They are great for families and high-use bathrooms as they can withstand a lot of wear and tear without worrying about the glass breaking. They also offer a traditional and classic look that fits with most bathroom designs.
Pivot style shower screens are an affordable option that offer a versatile design. They are a popular choice for many homes and can be constructed with doors that open from either side. They can be made to fit any bathroom configuration.
Pivot shower screens are a good option for smaller bathrooms because they offer a compact and space-efficient design. They also come in a range of finishes to suit your style and budget. They are a good alternative to shower curtains and can be used with both walk-in showers and wet room settings. They do require regular cleaning to avoid the build-up of residue and mildew.
Semi-Frameless
Framed and semi-frameless shower screens offer homeowners a variety of styles that are suited to different bathroom layouts. The main difference between the two options is that a semi-frameless screen has an aluminium frame around only half of the glass. This creates a sleek and modern look, balancing definition and openness.
The outer frames on a semi-frameless shower screen also provide support for the glass, which isn’t as thick as frameless screens. This can make them a cheaper option.
Both framed and semi-frameless shower screens offer homeowners the choice of smart inline glass or frosted, clear, tinted or slump glass. This allows them to tailor the appearance of their new shower to suit any style or decor.
Both types of shower screens are manufactured from toughened safety glass in a variety of colours and thicknesses, including six millimetre, eight millimetre, ten millimetre, or twelve millimetre. They are available in both hinged and sliding doors, and can be custom made to measure.
Frameless Glass
Frameless shower screens offer a sleek, modern look that is ideal for contemporary main bathrooms and en suites. They can be incorporated with sliding or hinged doors and come in either a single stand-alone piece or multiple panels to suit your room size.
With no metal framing to block your vision, frameless glass can make a small bathroom feel larger by creating an illusion of space. They also provide the opportunity to show off beautiful tile designs and features to enhance your bathroom design.
Our frameless glass shower screens are made from 10mm toughened safety glass, which is 4-5 times stronger than regular float glass and designed to break into small cuboid pieces rather than sharp shards of glass when it does shatter. This minimises the risk of injury and damage to property. They are available in a range of finishes to match your existing bathroom fixtures and style. Our specialised nanoclean protective coating will keep your screen clean and easy to wipe down, no hard scrubbing or toxic chemicals required.
Customised
A shower screen is a vital element of any bathroom, enhancing the experience and adding to the overall value of your home. With that in mind, it’s important to choose a professional with extensive experience. Not only will a well-trained glazier have the expertise to install framed, semi-frameless and frameless screens, they’ll also have access to a wide selection of sizes and styles.
Carefully measured screens fit correctly on the first try, minimizing adjustments and return trips by installers. Additionally, precision measurements reduce wasted glass and framing materials. Additionally, selecting a standard-sized rectangle rather than a custom shape cuts costs.
Similarly, choosing a high-quality material like tempered – or toughened – glass is an investment in both durability and safety. This type of glass breaks into small chunks that are less likely to cause injuries than sharp shards. This makes tempered glass an excellent choice for high-use areas such as bathrooms.
