Corner Shower Screens
Modern Glass Solutions for Space-Efficient Bathrooms
Corner shower screens effectively utilise underutilised corners, enhancing overall bathroom space efficiency. These installations feature toughened safety glass panels with minimal hardware, creating open visual environments while maintaining the functionality of shower enclosures. The frameless style removes heavy metal framing, enabling natural light to fill the bathroom space.
Australian homeowners benefit from the versatility these screens offer in various bathroom configurations. Popular options include the 120x120cm Corner Frameless Shower Screen with Channel and Brass Hinges, ideal for spacious bathrooms, and the 90x90cm Corner Frameless Shower Screen, suitable for compact spaces. The clear glass construction suits different design themes while providing long-term durability and easy maintenance characteristics that outperform traditional shower curtains. This selection of corner options accommodates diverse style preferences across Australia.
Selecting the Right Corner Screen Configuration
Choosing appropriate corner shower screen dimensions requires careful measurement of available space and consideration of daily use requirements. Standard sizes range from 900mm for compact bathrooms to 1200mm x 1200mm for spacious installations. Popular rectangular configurations, such as the 120x120cm Corner Frameless Shower Screen with Brackets, accommodate specific architectural requirements, providing an optimal fit within standard dimensions.
The choice of mounting system between bracket and channel installations affects both appearance and structural requirements. Bracket systems offer minimal hardware visibility with sleek aesthetics, while channel installations provide enhanced water containment at floor level. Both mounting types utilise toughened safety glass that meets Australian standards for wet area applications. The configuration options include fixed panel designs and pivot shower systems, catering to various access requirements.
Consider door opening directions to ensure adequate clearance for comfortable use. Most corner screens feature hinged doors that swing outward, requiring sufficient floor space for operation without interference from other bathroom fixtures. For spaces where swing doors aren't practical, sliding door alternatives provide easy access while maintaining the compact footprint. The premium brass hinge hardware and square corner handles provide reliable operation with a modern look that complements contemporary Australian bathroom designs.

How do you measure a corner shower unit?
Measure width and height at multiple points to accommodate wall irregularities common in Australian construction. Record the minimum dimensions to ensure a precise fit and prevent binding issues. Include return panel dimensions where the glass extends along perpendicular walls.

Minimum space requirements typically start at 90x90cm for functional corner showers, with 100x100cm or larger providing more comfortable use. Consider door swing clearance and access space for cleaning and maintenance activities.

Optimal corner shower sizing depends on the available bathroom space and the user's requirements. 120x90cm configurations suit most Australian bathrooms, providing adequate shower space while maintaining efficient room layout.
