Service Overview
Custom hotel-style screens suit bathroom renovations. Site dimensions, drains and wall alignment determine the design, reducing leaks and dirt traps while keeping a clean appearance.
Three water paths matter: floor falls directing water to drains, thresholds and seals containing spray, and drainage allowing water past seals to return to the wet area. Uneven older walls and poor falls make standard-sized screens prone to leaks; accurate measurement is essential.
Choosing a style
Choose for room size, sanitary fittings and door clearance before appearance.
| Style | Features | Suitable Situation |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed straight screen | Simple, durable and without moving components. | Small rooms and partly open shower areas. |
| Sliding screens | No swing clearance; maintain tracks, drainage and rollers. | Narrow entrances or toilets and basins opposite. |
| Hinged screens: inward / outward opening | Effective seals and optional self-return hinges. | Bathrooms with adequate swing space. |
| Folding screens | Compact when opened. | Very small or narrow shower areas. |
| L-shaped enclosures | Create a separate wet area. | Corner showers. |
| Fixed bath screens | Fit on bath rims to contain spray. | Homes retaining bathtubs. |
| Pivoting bath screens | Fold inward for bath cleaning. | Families and regularly cleaned baths. |
Frameless screens are easy to clean but demand accurate walls, floors and seals. Semi-framed systems reinforce key edges. Framed systems usually include drainage channels and tolerate irregular older walls better, but have heavier lines and dirt-collecting corners.
Taller screens contain spray and steam but need adequate extraction to prevent damp and mould. Coordinate silver bathroom mirrors and demisting. Increased glass weight requires stronger hardware and anchors.
Check that doors avoid toilets, basins, bathroom doors and towel rails while leaving sufficient access. A hinged panel that hits fittings halfway open creates an impractical entrance.
Glass Specifications
We use toughened glass, stronger than ordinary glass and breaking into small particles. Specify thickness for size and style; large fixed panes and wide doors require appropriate stiffness and hardware capacity.
| Treatment | Purpose | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrophobic easy-clean coating | Reduces water adhesion, scale and soap build-up. | Not permanent; avoid abrasives and strong acids or alkalis. |
| Safety film | Retains fragments if glass breaks. | Additional protection, not a substitute for correct installation or heat-soaking. |
| Frosted / translucent glass | Improves privacy. | May show water marks and need more frequent cleaning. |
| Tinted glass: grey / bronze | Matches the overall style. | Dark glass reduces light; consider small rooms. |
| Polished / chamfered edges | Reduce cuts and chips that can initiate fractures. | Required for all exposed edges. |
Processed toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled on site. Locate handles, hinges and rails before toughening, using site measurements.
Safety guidance
A common concern with several frequent misconceptions.
NiS inclusions can change phase after toughening and expand by approximately 4%, creating stress sufficient to fracture a pane. They cannot be detected visually. Breakage may occur at any time, more commonly within the first five years, but later failure remains possible.
Industry estimates vary: traditional production is quoted at 0.3%–0.8%, and newer quality-controlled production at 0.01%–0.08%. Some US sources quote roughly one shower pane in 800 annually. These estimates use different bases. Compliant glass and correct installation reduce risk, but no method guarantees complete elimination of NiS risk.
Hardware and consumables
Hardware and seals often determine service life before the glass does.
Use stainless or corrosion-resistant materials with compatible screws and bases. Self-return hinges are available.
Choose smooth, serviceable rollers and drainable tracks. Dirt and ponding cause sticking and uneven loads.
Guide water back into the wet area. Hardened, shrunken or detached seals commonly cause leaks and can be replaced separately.
Close wall and frame gaps, contain spray and cushion glass contact.
Pull meeting edges together. Replace weakened or deformed strips as needed.
Contain floor water; coordinate height with falls. Missing or low thresholds may need redesign during replacement.
Leak prevention
Diagnose first: resealing the wrong path will not resolve leakage.
| System | Sealant location | Principle |
|---|---|---|
| Framed systems with drainage channels | Usually seal the outside / dry side. | Internal channels return water to the wet area while the outer seal protects the dry floor. |
| Frameless glass on floors or bath rims | Continuous wet-side sealing, with approximately 2–3 mm drainage gaps at the outer floor junction where the system requires. | The inner seal blocks water; the drainage detail releases any water crossing it rather than trapping it under the base. |
Follow the actual system, floor or bath detail and existing waterproofing. Leaks affecting neighbouring walls or ceilings below may involve waterproofing or drains and need separate assessment. Check window seals if nearby walls show stains.
Repair or rebuild
| Situation | Recommendation | Work |
|---|---|---|
| Sound glass, dripping at the bottom | Repair. | Renew drip seals and anti-mould silicone. |
| Sagging door or poor closure | Repair. | Adjust or replace hinges, align panels and renew magnetic seals. |
| Sticking sliding doors | Repair. | Clean tracks, replace rollers and realign. |
| Mouldy or hardened seals | Repair. | Replace strips and remove and renew silicone. |
| Chipped or cracked glass | Replace glass. | Replacement is necessary; chips can initiate breakage. |
| Corroded hardware or incompatible holes | Replace the system. | Renew glass and hardware together to avoid mismatched loads. |
| Missing water stops or drainage paths | Rebuild. | Redesign screens, thresholds and drainage together. |
Measurement
Older walls are often out of plumb; standard dimensions alone are insufficient.
Measure top, middle and bottom deviations for adjustable frames or seal tolerances.
Check stone, tiles and bath rims for even glass support.
Confirm natural flow to drains and design thresholds and door edges accordingly.
Repair damaged waterproofing first; a screen cannot fix a failed floor layer.
Measure toilets, basins and doors to establish swing direction and clear access.
Check loose tiles, drilling suitability and supporting structure.
Our process
Wait for the installer's specified silicone curing period before showering.

Frequently Asked Questions
28 questions on styles, safety, hardware, leaks, quotations and care.
Fixed, sliding, hinged and folding; straight, L-shaped, three-sided and fixed or pivoting bath layouts; frameless, semi-framed and framed. Fixed or sliding systems suit small rooms without swing space.
Toughened glass, selected for size and stiffness with suitable hardware. Optional easy-clean coatings and safety film are available.
A production process rejecting toughened panes susceptible to NiS-related spontaneous breakage before use, as discussed in the 2018 structural glass code.
NiS phase changes can expand inclusions by around 4%, creating internal stress. They are not visually detectable; failure can occur at any time. Edge damage, point loads, sticking hardware and thermal shock also contribute.
Published estimates vary: traditional production 0.3%–0.8%, newer quality-controlled glass 0.01%–0.08%, with some US estimates using different annual measures. Correct glass and installation reduce risk, but no method removes all NiS risk.
Heat-soaked glass, protected polished edges, suitable clamp tolerances, avoiding thermal shock and optional fragment-retaining safety film.
Aged bottom seals, failed or misplaced silicone, sagging hinges, poor falls, low thresholds and direct spray at joints. Identify the source before resealing.
Follow the system and preserve drainage. Framed systems generally seal outside while channels drain inside. Frameless systems may need continuous wet-side seals with specified 2–3 mm outer drainage gaps. Sealing both faces can trap water and cause mould.
Sound glass and serviceable hardware often need seals, silicone or adjustment. Cracked glass, severe corrosion, failed frames or missing drainage and thresholds favour redesign or replacement.
Bottom drip seals, U / F edge seals, meeting strips and magnetic seals. Ageing is normal; many can be replaced without new glass.
Stainless or corrosion-resistant hinges, clamps, handles and roller assemblies with compatible screws and bases. Consider self-return hinges and cleanable, drainable tracks.
Floor-mounted enclosures depend on falls, drains and thresholds. Bath screens seal to the rim and need adequate spray height and cleaning access. Hardware and seals are not interchangeable.
Fixed or sliding screens avoid swing clearance. If hinged, confirm opening direction and avoid collisions with fixtures and the bathroom door.
Frameless is minimal but needs accurate walls and floors. Semi-framed balances support and appearance. Framed offers drainage and greater tolerance for older walls, with more cleaning corners.
Yes, with sufficient extraction and stronger hardware for increased weight. Otherwise trapped steam can cause damp and mould.
A hydrophobic coating reduces scale and soap adhesion. It is not permanent; avoid abrasive and harsh cleaners.
Light deposits respond to mild descaling and soft tools. Heavy old deposits may persist. Never scrape with wire brushes; drying after use is the best prevention.
Early mould may be cleaned with suitable products and ventilation. Deep staining or hardened seals need silicone or strip replacement.
Measure and confirm first, then manufacture and install. All holes precede toughening. Allow silicone to cure before use as instructed.
Measurement checks walls and corners, bases, drains and falls, waterproofing, fixtures and access, tiles and anchoring suitability. These make custom sizing essential.
Style, layout, glass area and thickness, coatings or film, hardware, seals, thresholds, removal and access determine cost. Free measurement and design quotations are available.
Only if existing hardware remains sound and compatible with exact hole positions. Inspect loading and alignment first; a full system may be safer where parts mismatch.
After silicone cures; timing depends on product, temperature and humidity. Follow the installer to avoid washing out uncured seals.
Yes, including silver bathroom mirrors, demisters and partitions, sharing measurement and installation for consistent finishes.
Not necessarily. Dry-area puddles often concern screens; ceiling or neighbouring-wall leaks may involve waterproofing or pipe joints. Assess separately and check windows where stains occur nearby.
We provide repairs and ongoing maintenance for estates, businesses and serviced residences. Quotations specify coverage and duration for glass, hardware and seals.
