Shower screens not only keep water inside the shower recess; it’s also a stand-alone design feature of the bathroom. Merely updating them can give your bathroom a facelift without going to the expense of a complete renovation.
This selection guideline offers you all the ins and outs to selecting a shower door that’s perfect for your new or existing bathroom. Learn more about screen types, frame options, colour and glass options here.
Only available in Regional Queensland.
A hinged shower door opens by swinging in one direction on hinges, similar to a typical door in your home.
The door hinge can be attached to a stationary glass panel or the wall of the shower surround.
A hinged configuration needs clearance in the bathroom for the door to swing open.
A pivot shower door has a pivot hinge that lets the door open in either direction.
The pivot hinge is attached to one side of the door.
Pivot shower screens come in a range of styles and designs; however, they are usually suitable for large bathrooms due to the space needed for the door to open.
Sliding door shower screens are the ultimate space savers.
With the doors sliding as opposed to opening inwards or outwards, this type of shower door saves plenty of space.
They are a practical choice for bathrooms where space is limited.
The framed shower screen is designed with an aluminium frame that surrounds most panels of glass.
They are strong and offer excellent longevity, especially for young families and homeowners on a budget.
Semi-frameless means there is an aluminium frame around the external perimeter of the shower only.
However, all internal edges and doors are frameless.
They are ideal if you are looking for a durable yet more subtle looking shower screen.
Frameless shower doors offer a sleek modern design without aluminium frames.
Made from 10mm safety glass, the frameless shower screen is high on strength while elegant enough for the luxury bathroom.
Do you want your shower screen frames to be a feature? Or do you prefer they blend in with the rest of the bathroom? What about extra privacy in your shower?
The fixtures in your bathroom can define frame colour choice.
Frame colours often match your taps, shower head and towel rail colours.
Or the shower frame colour can recede and match the wall colour instead. We offer a range of colours to ensure your bathroom is practical as well as attractive.
The final decision to make is whether you want the glass to be clear or satinlite.
Satinlite glass is the ideal solution if you want to create an element of privacy in your shower while allowing plenty of light into the recess.
Of course, the shower screens you purchase ultimately must fit within your budget.
It’s important to prioritise which of your requirements are most important to you.
Are you mainly concerned with privacy? Then you need to invest in satinlite glass, even if doing this means missing out on other requirements.
By prioritising the features you’re looking for, you can ensure you choose the best shower doors for your budget.
Where possible, it’s a good idea to visit showrooms so you can see potential shower doors in person.
You’ll get a much better idea of the look and feel of a shower screen when it’s displayed in its proper context, or imitation of its proper context.
Visiting in person also allows you to touch and feel them so you can physically experience their quality (or lack thereof).
