    How to Choose a Black Shower Screen

    Choosing the right black shower screen for your bathroom can be tricky. There are many factors to consider, such as the type of black shower screen you want, the size of your bathroom and how much you are willing to spend. So, to help you in your quest, here are some things to consider when choosing black framed shower screens in Perth.

    Black Shower Screen FAQs

    Yes, black shower screens are a stylish and practical choice, offering a bold, modern look that complements both contemporary and industrial-style bathrooms. Whether you prefer a black shower screen frame in a pivot, sliding, or corner-entry design—or a sleek black frameless shower screen—they add contrast and sophistication without overwhelming the space. At Ross’s, our matte black shower screens are powder-coated for durability and easy to maintain, making them a top pick for design-conscious renovators.

    Black shower screens are typically a little more expensive than chrome or silver models due to the specialised powder-coated finish used on the black shower frame. However, the price difference is often minimal. At Ross’s, we offer competitively priced black framed shower screens across all styles—pivot, sliding, quadrant, and walk-in—with the same structural quality and long-lasting performance as our silver finishes.

    Pros:

    • Black finishes create a bold, high-contrast aesthetic
    • Ideal for modern and monochrome interiors
    • Available in framed and frameless styles to suit all layouts
    • Powder-coated frames (like our black shower screen frame) are corrosion-resistant

    Cons:

    • Matte black shower screens can show soap scum, limescale, and fingerprints more easily than chrome
    • Improper cleaners may dull or damage the black finish if not maintained correctly

    Our black framed shower screens are treated with a durable coating that resists wear and is easy to clean with the right products.

    Black shower screens are easy to clean when maintained regularly, but they do tend to show water spots and soap residue more visibly than lighter finishes. This is especially true for matte black shower screens. Using a microfibre cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner after each use helps prevent build-up. With consistent care, your black shower screen frame or black shower frame will stay sleek and streak-free.

    To clean black shower doors, use a soft cloth or sponge and a pH-neutral cleaner—avoid vinegar, bleach, or abrasive pads that can strip the coating from your black shower screen frame. A mixture of warm water and mild dish soap works well for regular cleaning. Dry with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots, especially on matte black shower screens.

    For best results, follow the care instructions provided in our Shower Screen Maintenance Guide.

    Black shower frames are resistant to scratches, especially those with a powder-coated finish. However, they’re not entirely scratch-proof—using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads can damage the surface. Choose soft cleaning tools and gentle products to maintain the finish of your black shower frame or black frameless shower screen.
