Delivering on both functionality and style, shower screens protect your bathroom from being flooded with water, whilst enhancing the overall look of the room with their elegant design. Whether your shower is fitted in your bath, or you have a walk-in shower enclosure, glass panels boast a plethora of benefits which will lead to stylish, hygienic living.

The convenience of installing a shower in the bath has made it a popular choice in many UK households, particularly those with limited bathroom space. As such, fitting a shower screen can create the feel of an enclosure with the added benefit of a bath tub should you be in the mood for a long relaxing soak.

WHY CHOOSE A S HOWER SCREEN?

3Stevenage Glass | Shower Screens

Walk-In Shower

With no door, the walk-in shower is spacious and usually consists of one or two shower screens.

Bath Shower Screen

As a far more hygienic, tidier alternative to a shower curtain, a bath shower screen is one panel of glass that sits on the edge of the bath.

Classic Shower Cubicle

A popular choice in many households, this type of enclosure usually has one single hinged door.

Recess Cubicles

This features three solid walls with a door to gain access in and out of the shower.

Whether you know exactly which design you are looking for or you are open to ideas, it’s important to research the different styles of shower screens and enclosures available to you.

5

Layout

Prior to having anything fitted, you should carefully consider the layout of your bathroom as this could influence the style of shower screen or enclosure you choose. You will need to take into account:

• The size, shape and height of the enclosure or bath

• The location of the windows, lights and doors

• The extra space required to open and close the shower door if applicable

• Whether your enclosure needs to open to the left or right due to any obstructions

Types Of Glass

When it comes to the design of the glass, there are a variety of types to choose from:

The glass used for the shower screen will need to be toughened to withstand changes in temperature and ensure complete safety should it shatter. It’s worth noting that this prevents the glass from being cut again in future, so it’s important that all of the measurements are one-hundred percent correct.

Our extensive range of shower screens means that our customers can choose from a variety of different thicknesses and types of glass, depending on their requirements. We even offer the option of sandblasting your screens to improve privacy levels while you shower.

Clear Glass

A traditional choice in many homes.

Obscured/frosted glass

Textured glass and sandblasting helps to improve privacy levels.

Decorative/patterned glass

Etched shower screens create a stunning, opulent feature in the bathroom.

WHAT TO CONS IDER WHEN BUY ING A SHOWER SCREEN

Preparation is key when choosing a new shower screen to ensure you find a fully functional design which fits the measurements of your bathroom and suits your individual style.

Style Of Bathroom

Be inspired with different types of shower screens to suit your individual style. We offer a range of patterns and finishes for our customers to choose from, so we can provide you with the perfect design which complements your existing decor seamlessly.

Thickness Of Glass

Glass thickness is an important consideration when buying a new shower door or enclosure, as the thicker the glass, the safer and more robust it will be. You have a choice of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm thick glass panels, all of which have a sleek, polished appearance with varying levels of durability.

Colours

When it comes to the colour of your shower screen, clear glass is an original choice, however, you may decide to get creative with various colours or patterns. Our customers can choose from the RAL colour chart to find the perfect shade which complements their bathroom decor.

Fittings And Fixtures

Fixtures and fittings on shower doors and enclosures can provide the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom. Your choice of shower components can transform style and functionality within your bathroom, from chrome plated handles to magnetic seals.

You must carefully consider the wall fixings you use - such as brackets and hinges - to ensure the glass is securely attached to your wall, floor, tiles or other glass panels.

When measuring up for a new shower screen, it’s important to make the most of all available space. Ordering a shower screen requires accurate measurements to be taken for the glass prior to purchasing anything.

Shower Enclosure Shower In The Bath

MEAS UR ING GUIDE

8

Measure the showering area, including the shower tray or wet room floor, wall tiles and height

of the bathroom

Measurements for the glass should only be taken once all of the waterproofing, grouting and tiles are fitted

Take into account any windows or light fittings which may be in

the way

Measure the height of the showering area, as well as the edge of the bath where the panel of glass will sit

Remember to measure the surrounding area as certain styles, such as hinged doors, will require

enough space for the door to open with ease without hitting anything

Take into account any obstructions on the wall which may affect the fitting process

Make sure the showering area is fully tiled prior to ordering the bespoke glass to ensure

everything is exactly how it will be when the screen is fitted

Clean and dry the surface to be treated

Apply your bathroom cleaner using the directions on the bottle

Apply the protector and massage it into the surface by wiping with a cloth using a firm circular and overlapping motion until clear

Rinse your shower screen and wipe with a sponge or cloth to remove excess grime and soap scum

For initial treatment, reapply to ensure complete coverage

Use a streak-free glass cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water to polish the glass
