Top 10 Benefits of Shower Bath Screens

Shower bath screens are definitely the rage of modern bathrooms! They are highly functional and a practical way to keep water from spreading to all parts of a bathroom. Lately, I’ve see an increasing number of customers making use of shower bath screens and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re thinking of doing the same.

First, let me just make one thing clear: when it comes to shower bath screens, there are two options: shower curtains and glass shower screens. If you pictured a shower curtain when you read the title of this article, then you can wipe that off your mind. Shower curtains are made from PVC and studies have shown this to be highly hazardous to our health. So when talking about bath screens for showers, I am referring to those made of glass, just like the ones we stock here at Ross’s Discount Centre in Perth.

While the old shower bath combination may not be as regal as a separate bath and shower, it does offer some fantastic advantages. I’ve been the head of purchasing at Ross’s for many years now and as I mentioned, more and more customers are choosing shower bath screens. You never know, after reading this article, you might just think twice about your current situation. If you find yourself searching for shower bath screens in Perth, Ross’s Home Discount Centre is just the place to do so. But first, let’s take a look at why you might want to invest in one of our shower bath screens.

1. Maximise Your Bathroom Space with Shower Bath Screens

It’s not unusual to meet customers with sloping roofs and awkward angles in their shower spaces. While these customers would usually have chosen a shower curtain in the past, shower bath screens are a great option for this case. Bath screens, including some of the products that we feature at Ross’s, are perfect for accommodating non-standard heights and tricky angles. If you’re in the market for shower bath screens, you may want to consider the screens we have to offer. They’ll help you utilise the space in your bathroom while also keeping things stylish.

2. Create a Spacious Feel in Your Bathroom

Whenever I’ve had customers ask me why shower bath screens look more pleasing than shower curtains, I’ve always made it a point to explain that it is because bath screens are non-invasive. When you use shower screens, you create a barrier in your bathroom, which makes the space look much smaller. On the other hand, clear bath screens, such as the Kensington bath screen we currently sell here at Ross’s, allow light to pass through, which in turn makes your space appear larger. If you do not have a light source installed in your shower area, it is a good idea to choose clear screens when buying your shower bath screen.

3. Keep It Simple and Elegant

I’ve noticed that some people opt for fancy décor in their bathrooms. Indeed, ornate fixtures, coloured tiles, and panelled furniture have all made their way into modern bathrooms. If you have such a bathroom, then it’s probably a good idea to go for a simple glass bath screen, such as the Alpine Fixed Curved Bath Screen that we stock. This way, every other element of your bathroom will get all the attention it deserves. When shopping for bath screens in Perth, look for clear screens that have been specially coated to prevent limescale and dirt from accumulating. These screens retain their elegant looks over time.

4. Choose from a Variety of Configurations

Let’s face it, shower curtains are all the same. While they may be available in different designs, they are used in the same boring manner—drawn to one side or completely pulled across. However, with bath screens, there are many different configurations that are possible. Bath screens come in hinged, foldaway, and sliding designs, among many others. If you’re looking for foldaway or swinging bath screens, take a look at our Texan bath screen. You can also browse through our collection to find other bath screen designs and configurations.

5. Add Style and Sophistication to Your Bathroom

I personally love frameless shower bath screens—they are the latest trend in bathroom décor. They offer many advantages over traditional shower screens. Unlike typical shower bath screens, which have frosted or textured glass mounted on a metal frame, frameless screens are equipped with clear glass and void of any frames. This allows light into all parts of the bathroom and accentuates bathroom fixtures and feature tiles. If you’re looking for bath screens, I suggest you check out our collection of frameless bath screens. Use frameless screens to make your bathroom trendier and more attractive.

6. Keep Your Bathroom Safe and Dry

When it comes to bathroom safety, shower bath screens are a clear winner over traditional shower curtains. By creating a solid, fixed barrier, bath screens prevent water from splashing onto the floor, helping to reduce the risk of slips and falls. This can be a big benefit for families, especially for those with children or elderly members who need extra peace of mind. The toughened, shatter-resistant glass also means that if a bath screen is accidentally damaged, it’s designed to break safely. If safety’s at the top of your list, bath screens are a smart choice.

7. Easy to Clean and Low Maintenance

Shower bath screens are a practical choice for those who’d rather spend time enjoying their bathroom than cleaning it. Unlike shower curtains that tend to attract mould, mildew, and soap scum, bath screens are made from materials that are easy to wipe clean. Many of ours even come with nano-coatings, which help keep them sparkling without much effort. A quick wipe-down is usually all it takes, and you can say goodbye to scrubbing. If convenience is key, bath screens make maintaining a fresh, hygienic bathroom a breeze.

8. Retain Warmth for a Cosy Bathing Experience

An often-overlooked benefit of shower bath screens is how well they retain warmth in the shower area. Shower curtains allow heat to escape quickly, but a glass bath screen traps the warmth, creating a cosy, comfortable space that’s especially welcome in the winter. Many customers comment on how much warmer their bathroom feels after switching to a bath screen. If you’re after that extra touch of comfort, a bath screen is a great way to keep things warm and inviting.

9. An Eco-Friendly Choice for Your Bathroom

For those looking to make an eco-conscious choice, shower bath screens tick that box too. Shower curtains are typically made from PVC plastic, which is not only less environmentally friendly but also prone to mold and replacement. Bath screens, on the other hand, are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste. If sustainability matters to you, investing in a bath screen is a choice that supports both your bathroom’s style and the planet.

10. Perfect Fit for Any Bathroom Layout

Shower bath screens in Perth come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and configurations, making it easy to find the right fit for your bathroom layout. Whether you’re dealing with a compact ensuite, a spacious family bathroom, or an unusual architectural feature, there’s a bath screen to suit. Options like hinged doors, sliding screens, and bi-fold styles mean even tricky layouts can be accommodated. A shower bath screen can be customised to perfectly complement your space, making it both practical and stylish.

Conclusion

As you can see, today’s shower bath screens bring a wealth of benefits to modern bathrooms. Not only do they help you make the most of your bathroom space and create an open, airy feel, but they also add a touch of elegance and simplicity to any design. Bath screens are easy to clean and maintain, retain warmth for a cosy shower experience, and enhance safety by preventing slips and spills. With a wide range of customisable configurations available, shower bath screens are versatile enough to fit any layout while offering a sustainable, eco-friendly choice. Most importantly, they elevate the style and functionality of your bathroom, transforming it into a more attractive, relaxing, and practical space.
