Choosing the Right Semi-Frameless Shower Screen for Your Space
Consider your bathroom dimensions when selecting a semi-frameless shower screen.

The standard 195cm height suits typical ceiling heights, while 6mm toughened glass meets Australian AS/NZS safety standards and provides excellent durability.
Popular configurations include the 98-106cm x 195cm with 98-101cm side panel for larger corner installations, the 98-106cm x 195cm with 77-80cm side panel for medium spaces, and the 82-90cm x 195cm with 98-101cm side panel for compact layouts.

Semi-frameless designs require less maintenance than framed shower screens, as the slimline perimeter frame reduces areas where soap scum accumulates.
