Shower Screen FAQs
What's the difference between framed and frameless shower screens?
Framed shower screens have metal edges surrounding the glass for structural support, while frameless screens use thicker tempered glass and minimal hardware for a cleaner look. Frameless designs offer better visibility and easier cleaning but typically cost 20-30% more than framed versions.
How often should I clean my shower screen to maintain it properly?
For optimal maintenance, wipe down your shower screen after each use with a squeegee and deep clean weekly with a non-abrasive cleaner. Glass surfaces with nano-coating require less frequent cleaning - about every 10-14 days - while still preventing water spots and soap scum buildup.
Can shower screens be customized for unusual bathroom layouts?
Yes, we offer bespoke shower screen solutions for unique spaces. Our technicians can create curved screens, angled corner units, or unconventional sizes to fit challenging layouts. Custom designs typically take 3-5 weeks for manufacturing and may incur a 15-25% premium over standard sizes.
Installation Considerations
Proper installation is crucial for shower screen performance and longevity:
- Requires perfectly level and waterproofed shower base or tiled area
- Needs minimum 50mm clearance from other bathroom fixtures
- Professional installation recommended for frameless models
- Allow 48 hours for sealants to cure before first use
Safety Features

| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Tempered Glass | Heat-treated to break into small granular pieces | Reduces injury risk if broken |
