Glass Bath Screens

If you’ve got a bath/shower combination, you might be wondering if it’s worth upgrading your old shower curtain to a glass bath screen.

The answer is yes!

Not only do glass shower screens look much better, they help to contain water within the bath/shower area, they’re incredibly long-lasting, and easy to clean.

Plus, when you pick Shower Enclosure Services, we can create a tailor-made bath screen that’s going to fit your space perfectly.

You can choose from:

1. Fixed bath screens
2. Swing bath screens
3. Sliding bath screens.

In this blog we discuss the features of the above three options.

1. Fixed Bath Screen

If you want a panel which doesn’t move then a fixed screen is going to be best solution for you.

• Size:  Varies, depending on configuration and size of bathroom.  Min 100mm wide for toughened glass.
• Glass thickness will depend on type of frame you select
  • Fully Framed = 5mm clear toughened
  • Semi Frameless = 6mm clear toughened
  • Frameless = 10mm clear toughened
• Option to choose frosted glass to add privacy.

2. Swing Bath Screen

When we create swing bath screens, we use two (or more) panels of glass which are joined with a hinge.

When we include a barrel hinges, it allows the swinging panel to fold back flat against the fixed panel, and then flat back against the wall for optimal access.

• Size:  Varies, depending on configuration and size of bathroom.  Min 100mm wide for toughened glass.
• Glass thickness:
  • Fully Framed = 5mm clear toughened
  • Semi Frameless = 6mm clear toughened
  • Frameless = 10mm clear toughened

3. Sliding Bath Screen

If you opt for sliding screens over your bath, you’ll be able to completely close the area off.

This means less water spray and should help reduce the slip hazard in your bathroom.

Before you get your heart set on a sliding bath screen and a specific number of panels, we’ll need to check whether there’s enough space as there are minimum accessibility requirements to make this work.

• Glass thickness:
  • Fully Framed = 5mm clear toughened
  • Semi Frameless = 6mm clear toughened
  • Frameless = 10mm clear toughened
