Why Choose a Bath Shower Screen Over Alternatives?
-
Fixed glass screens provide a solid barrier that prevents water from splashing onto the floor, keeping bathroom floors dry.
-
Glass screens are non-porous, making them easy to clean and reducing the risk of mould growth compared to shower curtains.
-
Glass screens are durable, easy to clean, and prevent mildew, providing better long-term durability than shower curtains.
-
High-quality tempered glass screens can last for decades, making them a long-term investment.
Easy Cleaning
Glass bath shower screens are non-porous, so they resist soap scum and are easy to wipe clean. This makes them a hygienic choice, as they do not harbour bacteria or mildew like fabric curtains.
Lasting Durability
Our bath shower screens are made from toughened safety glass and robust fittings, ensuring they withstand daily use and resist corrosion. With proper care, these screens can last 15-20 years, making them a reliable investment.
Value Addition
Installing a quality bath shower screen not only improves the look and function of your bathroom but also adds value to your home. Their modern appearance and practical benefits make them a sought-after feature for homeowners and renovators alike.
Types of Glass Enclosures
Glass enclosures are a popular and stylish choice for modern bathrooms, offering a clean and open feel. Bath shower screens come in three main styles: frameless, semi-frameless, and framed, utilizing pivot, sliding, or fixed panels. We provide a variety of glass shower screens, including frameless, semi-frameless, and fully framed designs. With our expert advice, you can easily choose the right type of screen to suit your bathroom’s layout and your personal style. No matter which design you select, our glass enclosures are easy to use and maintain, making them a great addition to any bathroom.
Frameless Screens
Frameless screens are perfect for those who love a minimalist, contemporary look. These screens use thick, toughened glass and minimal hardware, creating a seamless appearance that makes bathrooms feel more spacious.
Semi-Frameless Screens
Semi-frameless options strike a balance between sleek style and sturdy support. Semi-frameless screens have a frame around the outer edge but not on the glass panels, balancing style and durability. This design offers a modern look with added structural integrity.
Fully Framed Screens
Fully framed screens offer a classic appearance and are often a great fit for those working within a budget. Framed screens are the most cost-effective option and offer superior water sealing due to the full metal frame, making them ideal for busy family bathrooms.
Materials Used for Construction
The quality of materials used in your shower screen makes a big difference in both appearance and performance. We use only premium, safety-rated tempered glass and robust fittings to ensure our screens are as durable as they are stylish. Our products are designed to resist corrosion and everyday wear, so your bathroom stays looking great for years to come. With a range of finishes and customization options, you can choose a shower screen that perfectly matches your style and budget. Whether you prefer a modern, streamlined look or something more traditional, our commitment to quality materials means you’ll enjoy a shower screen that’s both beautiful and built to last.
How to Pick the Ideal Shower Screen for Your Bathroom
Select your bath screen based on how your household uses the bathing space and the available room around your bath. Use this checklist to guide your decision:
-
Measure the bath width where mounting will occur.
-
Check the height from the bath rim to your preferred screen top.
-
Most standard Australian baths are designed to suit 130cm wide screens, but small bathrooms may work better with 70cm panels.
-
Consider folding screens if your family alternates between baths and showers regularly.
-
Three-panel systems fold completely away for unrestricted bath access, while single fixed bath panels work well when showering is the primary use.
-
Wall-mounted bracket systems are suitable for most installations, while channel-mounted options offer alternative mounting options for different wall types.
-
Consider the swing direction and clearance space required for the folding operation.
-
Chrome finishes coordinate with standard Australian tapware and towel rails, while black options complement contemporary bathroom designs.
-
Verify that your wall construction can support the screen's weight and the mounting hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you clean a bathroom shower screen?
Clean the glass weekly with a mild soap solution or diluted white vinegar. Dry with a microfiber cloth, and squeegee after each use to prevent watermarks, mould, and mildew. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.
How do you install a bath shower screen?
Mark drill points on the wall, secure mounting brackets with appropriate wall plugs, position the screen, and apply waterproof sealant around all edges. Most installations require 1-2 hours and basic tools. Professional installation ensures proper waterproofing and functionality.
When it comes to installing frameless shower screens, precision is essential. These screens rely on exact measurements and correctly positioned hardware to ensure a secure fit. Because frameless designs don't have bulky frames to hide imperfections, the wall must be plumb, the glass must be level, and the hinges or brackets must be fixed perfectly.
How do you remove a bath shower screen?
Cut through the sealant carefully with a craft knife, unscrew the mounting brackets from the wall, and lift the screen away. Clean residual sealant from bath and wall surfaces before installing any replacement panel.
Is a bath screen better than a shower curtain?
Bath screens provide superior water containment, resist mould and mildew, and maintain cleaner appearances than fabric curtains. Glass screens also allow more light through and last significantly longer with proper maintenance, offering better style and functionality.
How do you measure for a bath shower screen?
Measure the bath width where the screen mounts, the height from the bath rim to the desired top position, and check the wall plumb and bath level. Standard Australian baths typically suit screens that are 130cm wide, but verify the dimension measurements before ordering.
What is the average cost of a bath shower screen?
Bath screens vary in cost depending on their size, glass thickness, and the quality of the hardware. Installation costs depend on the type of wall and the complexity of the fitting. Professional installation provides warranty protection and ensures proper waterproofing to prevent water leakage.
How long do bath shower screens typically last?
Quality tempered glass screens last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Hinge mechanisms and seals may need replacement after 5-10 years, depending on usage. Regular cleaning and seal maintenance extend overall screen life.
Do you offer shower screens for small bathrooms as well?
Yes, we offer a range of shower screens specifically suited for small bathrooms. Our 70cm frameless bath screens and compact folding screens are designed to maximise space, provide excellent water containment, and keep your bathroom feeling open and uncluttered.
Do bath shower screens help prevent water leakage?
Properly installed bath screens significantly reduce water splash compared to shower curtains. Effective sealing around mounting points and regular seal maintenance prevent water penetration behind wall surfaces, providing low-maintenance protection.
