The main purpose of the shower screen is to keep running water confined in a specific area in your bathroom; however, the shower screen is also one of the most important design elements of your bathroom. When it comes to choosing a shower screen for your bathroom, certainly there are specific questions which would come to your mind, they are explained here below.
Choosing between a frameless, semi-framed and fully framed shower screen
A frameless shower screen comes without any frames around it; the glass panes are safely held jointly with tactful hardware and hinges. Whereas a fully framed shower screen comes with aluminium frame around all glass panels in the shower, which also includes the door. On the other hand, a semi-framed shower screen uses framing material where required; however, mostly the door will remain totally frameless.
Compared to framed shower screens, frameless shower screens are more costly
The quality of the hardware and hinges used on frameless shower screens are costly compared to that of the framed shower screen and so frameless shower screens are pricey. Additionally, you require professional assistance for installing a frameless shower screen as they are complicated to install.
When a standard shower screen can’t be found for my shower enclosure, is there a way to save money when customising the shower screen?
Dissimilar to other types of glass, the hard-edged safety glass on shower screens can’t be cut. You will need to work with your shower screen supplier, who will rightly assist you to pick standard-size panels where it’s possible. This will lower the cost of a custom shower screen.
Choices available in regard to shower screen doors
The style of your shower screen needs to be taken into consideration while choosing appropriate doors for it. The various choices for shower screen doors are sliding doors, swinging doors and pivot doors. A pivot door will open in both directions, while a swinging door will open outwards only.
What can be done in case I dislike the feeling of getting confined in the shower?
Recently, several bathrooms are built without the provision of any shower screen. In its place, a single fixed panel is installed so that the flow of the water can be prevented from going where it’s not required. To find a middle ground between a full shower enclosure and a wet bathroom, a fixed panel can be just great.
While carrying out your bathroom renovation, consider having a plan for shower screen in place and don’t put it away to be taken up at a later stage, which will certainly save your valuable time, efforts and money.
