Shower Screen Accessories

What You'll Find in This Shower Hardware Collection

This collection includes essential components that make shower screens work properly and look great. The range covers wall channels, floor channels, hinges, brackets, and shower bases that Australian homes need for reliable bathroom installations.

Wall channels come in 210cm lengths and secure glass panels to walls. Floor channels measure 120cm and provide bottom support for glass installations. Both are available in chrome, black, white, brushed nickel, gunmetal, and gold finishes to match different bathroom styles.

Hinges enable smooth shower door operation and come in stainless steel and solid brass options. The 180-degree glass-to-glass shower hinge works well for frameless installations. U-brackets provide extra support where needed and come in multiple finishes.

The collection also includes curved shower bases in 90x90cm and 100x100cm sizes, available in black and white. These bases work with frameless shower screen installations to create complete shower solutions.

How to Choose the Right Shower Screen Hardware

Start by checking your glass thickness and panel size. Heavier 10mm glass requires stronger support hardware, such as high-quality hinges and additional brackets. Standard residential installations typically work well with the components in this range, while 10mm thick glass requires specific hardware finishes and fitting requirements.

Consider your bathroom design theme when selecting hardware colours. Chrome and stainless steel offer good durability and suit most Australian bathrooms. Black finishes create minimalist modern looks, while brushed brass and brushed nickel add distinctive elegance. Choose finishes that match your taps, towel rails, and other bathroom fittings to create a seamless appearance.

Think about installation complexity. Wall-mounted channels suit most standard installations. If your bathroom has unusual angles or large glass panels for your new shower screen, you might need a professional installer to ensure proper support and safety compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is high-quality hardware important for shower screens?

Clean regularly with mild, pH-neutral products. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners that damage protective finishes. Dry components after cleaning and keep bathrooms well-ventilated to reduce moisture for your sliding shower door hardware.
