Shower Screen

Comparing to the shower curtain, the shower screen is much easier to be cleaned. Shower screen always uses tempered glass (or called as safety glass) and therefore, preventing any broken shattered glass pieces to injure the user. Many people are able to fit their own shower screen when they are good in do-it-yourself (DIY), there are few things to pay attention onto, such as water tightness and the tile drilling with necessary tools and fittings. Safety is always the priority as shower door might be exploding if no appropriate fixing has been done, this is why hiring a professional who is experienced to carry out the job seems to be a smarter choice. Fortunately, hinges, brackets and frames normally will still in their original position even when the explosion of shower screen happens.

A frameless shower screen is a leading preference by many users, and they have some concerns on the leakage issue most of the time, but usually water will not go through those small gaps at the door's sides and hinges when correct fixing was done by the installer. The expert has claimed that frameless shower panel can withstand daily usage stress up to 30 years or more when appropriate care was taken, same applies to framed shower door since there is metal to support the glass edges. Theoretically speaking, the ordinary shower glass for a bathroom shall remain its thickness at around half an inch but the one with openable function would have at least 3/8 inch of glass. The common height for those shower screen and shower door is approximately 180cm and of course, the manufacturer will calculate and advise the height and maximum span based on the product's weight and width.

Shower screen that is framed fully is well accepted by many families, usually, the frame is made up of aluminium since this material is having a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to others. Then, we have another awesome type, frameless shower screen that can bring up the authentic minimalism that uses up the least hardware that can also make space-saving. Some designers might go in between the fully framed and unframed shower screen, where the framing of the screen will be installed at the outer part instead of surrounding the door, known as the semi-frameless shower screen that is slightly more affordable than fully framed one. When you have a tiny bathroom, shower screen with a sliding door can help in its role as its door requires an opening that is neither in nor out.

For a house that has a huge bathroom, a frameless shower glass panel that is fixed without a door can offer you luxurious simplicity. Fixed and swinging door is another choice for a larger-spaced bathroom, where its fixed panel will accommodate its swinging door to open and close. Its design is identical to the ordinary interior door of your house and usually built toward out against the shower area. Pivot door shower screen is an added way to combine fixed panel with the door in which three directions of the area will be fixed with a glass panel that is not movable, leaving the pivot hinged door to be opened out or in. The invented quadrant screen of shower panel has maximize the corner space of small bathroom while bi-fold shower screen can also solve the crunched space of small bathroom by using its opening mechanism, that is at least two or more folds.

There are shower screens made by acrylic and polycarbonate in addition to glass but yet few factors need to be evaluated before placing a decision to go for either one. For instance, the appearance of the material that you wish to target in matching your overall design and how would users feel when placing the screen into the bathroom. Acrylic can be having wider options in a pattern, texture and glass offer delightful clean, organized and authentic. In term of resistance against scratches and temperature, glass is a better performer and last longer statistically. Furthermore, safety concern shall be lesser in acrylic or polycarbonate as compared to the same thickness of untreated glass while price-wise is slightly lower than glass in overall.

Since more people will still go for glass as compared to polycarbonate and acrylic, with the worthiness of long-term investment for glass. Then, there are also different common glasses to be installed such as clear glass that allows greatest light penetration and its clarity makes the bathroom looks wider. If you are looking for some sort of privacy in a bathroom design that is semi-open with the toilet or other rooms, translucent finished frosted glass makes more sense in this scenario. Popular to be used for an aquarium or any displaying purpose, low-iron glass that has a certain texture of blue or green can be one of your choices which also, similar to the textured glass that combined both features of translucent and low-iron. Moreover, there are suppliers of tinted and coloured glass allow more customization for the bathroom that wanted to be modernized as well as other themes of interiors.
