Pros and Cons of Frameless Glass Shower Panels
Pros of Frameless Glass Screens
- Easy on the eye and are unobtrusive, so they don’t take the focus away from other features in the bathroom
- Creates a seamless and open space
- Can divide up the bathroom into numerous sections
- Simple to clean. Some guidance on caring for your shower screen can be found here.
- Durable and long-lasting as they’re made from thick, 10mm clear toughened glass
Cons of Frameless Glass Screens
- Not as effective at keeping water inside the shower space compared to other fixed panel or enclosure alternatives
- You may need a brace bar or plate installed
- The installation process is more complicated (we explain more about this below!)
- Tend to be more expensive than semi-frameless or framed options

How are frameless glass shower screens installed?
Frameless shower enclosures, including frameless fixed panels are trickier to install than other styles.
Often it takes two technicians to install a frameless screen, and it can be a two-part process which occurs over two site visits.
*NB: Two trips are not often required for single panels
