Shower Screen Options
Whether you know exactly which design you are looking for or you are open to ideas, it’s important to research the different styles of shower screens and enclosures available to you.
Walk-In Shower
With no door, the walkin shower is spacious and usually consists of one or two shower screens.
Recess Cubicles
This features three solid walls with a door to gain access in and out of the shower.
Classic Shower Cubicle
A popular choice in many households, this type of enclosure usually has one single hinged door.
Bath Shower Screen
As a far more hygienic, tidier alternative to a shower curtain, a bath shower screen is one panel of glass that sits on the edge of the bath.What Should I consider?
Preparation is key when choosing a new shower screen to ensure you find a fully functional design which fits the measurements of your bathroom and suits your individual style.
Style Of Bathroom
Be inspired with different types of shower screens to suit your individual style. We offer a range of patterns and finishes for our customers to choose from, so we can provide you with the perfect design which complements your existing decor seamlessly.
Thickness Of Glass
Glass thickness is an important consideration when buying a new shower door or enclosure, as the thicker the glass, the safer and more robust it will be. You have a choice of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm thick glass panels, all of which have a sleek, polished appearance with varying levels of durability.
Colours
When it comes to the colour of your shower screen, clear glass is an original choice, however, you may decide to get creative with various colours or patterns.
Fittings And Fixtures
Fixtures and fittings on shower doors and enclosures can provide the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom. Your choice of shower components can transform style and functionality within your bathroom, from chrome plated handles to magnetic seals. You must carefully consider the wall fixings you use – such as brackets and hinges – to ensure the glass is securely attached to your wall, floor, tiles or other glass panels.
A major benefit of bespoke shower screens is that the glass can be cut to the exact measurements required, which is particularly useful if you choose an unusual shape to ensure the perfect fit.
How To Measure Up - Shower Enclosure
When measuring up for a new shower screen, it’s important to make the most of all available space. Ordering a shower screen requires accurate measurements to be taken for the glass prior to purchasing anything.
We’ve provided a handy video and step by step guide to help you take precise measurements. Alternatively, we can visit your house or premises to measure up if you have opted for us to fit your new shower screen.
Measure the showering area,
including the shower tray or wet room floor, wall tiles and height of the bathroom.
Take into account any windows or light fittings which may be in the way.
Remember to measure the surrounding area as certain styles, such as hinged doors, will require enough space for the door to open with ease without hitting anything.
Make sure the showering area is fully tiled prior to ordering the bespoke glass to ensure everything is exactly how it will be when the screen is fitted.
How To Measure Up - Bath Shower Screen
If you are looking for a bath shower screen, the measuring process is slightly different. Watch our video or follow the step by step guide below to ensure you take accurate measurements. Alternatively, if we are fitting your shower screen, we can also come to measure at your house or business premises.
Measurements for the glass should only be taken once all of the waterproofing, grouting and tiles are fitted.
Measure the height of the showering area, as well as the edge of the bath where the panel of glass will sit.
Take into account any obstructions on the wall which may affect the fitting process.
Maintenance & Upkeep
As you close your eyes to enjoy a refreshing shower, it can be easy to overlook how messy your shower screens have become. Adding this quick and easy task to your cleaning regime will ensure you maintain a hygienic, tidy bathroom, which is particularly important if you are expecting guests!
Step 1
Apply your bathroom cleaner using the directions on the bottle.
Step 2
Rinse your shower screen and wipe with a sponge or cloth to remove excess grime and soap scum.
Step 3
Use a streak-free glass cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water to polish the glass.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products or harsh scourers as these can scratch and damage the glass.
