Bath Screens

Quality Glass Panel Bath Screens for Australian Homes

Bath shower screens offer a vital solution for homes equipped with combination bath and shower setups. These glass panels keep water contained during shower use while folding away completely when bath access is needed. The screens feature 6mm tempered safety glass that meets Australian Standard AS/NZS 2208, ensuring safe performance in wet bathroom environments.

Available configurations include single fixed panels and multi-fold systems, such as the popular 3-fold chrome folding bath shower screen, which provides comprehensive coverage when deployed. The 4-fold chrome folding system offers even more flexibility for different bath sizes. These screens use marine-grade hinge mechanisms and mounting hardware designed for Australia's humid conditions.

Chrome, black, and brushed finishes complement existing bathroom hardware in various colour options. Standard sizes include 70cm panels for compact spaces and 130cm wide screens for typical Australian bath installations. The 180-degree pivot door systems offer an alternative option for larger bathrooms with varying layout requirements.

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. Measure the bath width where mounting will occur and 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.

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 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.
