Discover Quality Bathroom Shower Screens for Your Home

Shower screens keep water inside your shower area while giving your bathroom a modern and clean look. FactoryFast offers a range of shower screens to suit any bathroom size or style. From sleek, frameless designs that make small bathrooms feel bigger to practical corner shower screens that fit perfectly in tight spaces. Our shower screens feature toughened glass, tested to Australian standards, providing you with confidence in both safety and quality.

The right shower screen can transform your bathroom design from basic to beautiful. Many homeowners select glass shower screens because they are easy to clean and don't collect mould like shower curtains. They also offer greater durability and add value to your home. Whether you're building a new bathroom or updating an old one, a finest shower screen is a smart choice for any home. 

How to Choose the Right Shower Screen for Your Bathroom

When selecting a shower screen, think about the size and layout of your bathroom first. For compact bathrooms, sliding shower screens or corner shower screens save space because they don't need room to swing open. If you have more space, pivot shower screens offer wider entry points, which can be particularly helpful for families with young children or individuals with specific mobility needs.

Glass thickness is another important factor in shower door functionality. Thicker glass (10mm), like in our frameless shower designs, feels more solid and provides better durability, while standard 6mm glass works well in framed options. All shower screens from FactoryFast feature safety glass that breaks into small, dull pieces rather than dangerous shards in the event of damage.

Consider the style that matches your bathroom trend, too. Frameless shower options create a modern, open aesthetic, while semi-frameless shower screens strike a balance between style and value. For a unique bathroom feature, curved shower screens create a smooth, elegant shape that stands out from standard square designs.

FAQs

How much does it cost to install a shower screen?

Installation by a professional generally ranges from $250 to $800, based on the specific requirements of your shower screen setup. Frameless screens usually cost more to set up because they're heavier and need precise alignment. Some framed or semi-frameless screens can be installed DIY-style, but for accuracy and long-term performance, expert installation is the safer option.

How much does a shower screen cost?

Shower screen prices vary based on type, size, and features. Framed screens are the most affordable option, while frameless designs with thicker glass are more expensive. Semi-frameless screens offer a middle ground in terms of price. The hardware finish (chrome, black, gold) can also affect the price. Quality products tend to last longer and perform better, making them a more financially sound option in the long term.

Which type of shower screen is best?

The best shower screen depends on your specific requirements and the layout of your bathroom. Frameless screens look modern and are the easiest to clean, but they are more expensive. Semi-frameless screens strike a balance between looks and price, with minimal frame presence. Framed screens offer excellent water containment at a lower price. For small bathrooms, space-saving designs with sliding or corner entries work well. Consider your bathroom size, cleaning preferences, and budget when making your choice.

Are glass shower screens safe?

Yes, glass shower screens in Australia are made from toughened safety glass that meets strict standards. This special glass is designed to break into small, rounded pieces instead of sharp shards in the event of damage, making it significantly safer than regular glass. With proper installation and care, glass shower screens provide years of safe use in your bathroom.

How thick should shower screen glass be?

For framed shower screens, 6mm glass is usually enough because the frame provides support. Semi-frameless screens typically use 6-8mm glass. Frameless shower panels need thicker 8-10mm glass to stay stable without frame support. Larger screens or wider doors may require a maximum thickness of 10mm for proper function and longevity.

How long should a shower screen be?

Standard shower screens usually range from 80cm to 120cm in length. However, the right size depends on your shower base and the layout of your bathroom. For walk-in shower designs, the panel should extend at least 60 cm from the wall to effectively contain water spray. Always measure your space carefully before placing your order to ensure a proper fit.

Why do shower screens go cloudy?

Shower screens become cloudy from mineral deposits in hard water and soap scum buildup. These deposits can etch the glass surface over time if not cleaned regularly. To prevent cloudiness, wipe down your screen after each use and clean it weekly with suitable products. For existing cloudiness, try vinegar solutions or special glass cleaners to remove the buildup.

Why is the shower screen leaking?

Shower screens often leak due to worn silicone seals, improper installation, or doors that fail to align properly. Over time, seals can shrink and crack, letting water escape. Loose hinges can also prevent doors from closing fully. Regularly checking seals and ensuring proper door alignment will prevent most leaks. Reapplying silicone sealant or adjusting the hinges can often resolve many leaking issues.

Does shower screen glass shatter?

Shower screen glass can break, but it's designed to shatter safely. Made from toughened glass, it breaks into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than dangerous, sharp shards. Breaking typically happens only with significant impact or extreme temperature changes. The risk of injury from properly manufactured shower screen glass is very low compared to regular glass.
