Frameless shower screens are the ultimate choice for a sleek, modern bathroom. With 10mm thick toughened glass as the standard, they offer durability, safety, and a premium aesthetic. Consider the type of screen—fixed panel walk-in showers or hinged doors—and factors like edge finishing, water sealing, and installation requirements. Prioritise compliance with safety standards (AS/NZS 2208) and features like low-maintenance materials and proper sealing to ensure long-term satisfaction.
Glass and Safety
When selecting a frameless shower screen, glass thickness is one of the most important factors to consider. Our frameless shower range uses 10 mm thick toughened glass, which provides the strength and stability needed for a safe and durable shower enclosure. It’s also worth noting that all shower screens must meet the AS/NZS 2208 safety standard, which requires a minimum thickness of 6mm toughened glass to ensure compliance and peace of mind.
Screen Types and Configuration
Frameless shower screens come in a variety of types and configurations.
Fixed panel options are an affordable choice. They’re ideal for walk-in showers, offering a clean, modern aesthetic that maximises the sense of space in your bathroom.
Hinged door shower screens are ideal if you’re seeking a more conventional arrangement. They offer better water containment while maintaining the sleek, frameless style.
Aesthetic Appeal and Practicality
Frameless shower screens are stylish and practical. They’re a popular choice for bathrooms of all sizes. Their open design creates a spacious, airy feel that improves the look of your space. They’re perfect for small bathrooms where space is tight. They also work great in luxurious bathrooms for a sleek, modern vibe.
One of the standout features of frameless shower screens is their hardware minimalism. With fewer visible components, they provide a cleaner, more seamless finish. This understated elegance underscores the beauty of the glass, allowing it to take centre stage without any distractions.
In terms of hardware, look for screens with brass or stainless steel fittings. Common fittings include wall-mounted hinges, bracket mounts, wall channel mounts and floor seal rails. These fittings are generally available in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold, and gunmetal finishes. This allows you to create a custom look to match your bathroom style.
Benefits of Frameless Shower Screens
Frameless shower screens bring a host of benefits to any bathroom. Their modern aesthetic is one of the biggest draws, featuring a sleek, minimalist design that adds a touch of sophistication to any space. With clean lines and the absence of bulky frames, frameless screens create a timeless look that fits perfectly within contemporary homes.
These screens also excel in creating an open and spacious feel. By eliminating visual barriers, they allow light to flow freely through the bathroom. This helps small spaces feel bigger and brighter while improving the functionality and feel of your bathroom.
When it comes to maintenance, frameless screens shine again. With less hardware, there are fewer places for dirt to hide. This makes cleaning quick and easy. Moreover, most of our shower screens feature AllClear and EASYClean glass, which takes the ease of maintenance even further. These nano coatings help to reduce watermarks and keep glass looking clean with minimal effort. All in all, frameless shower screens deliver a winning combination of elegance, practicality, and simplicity.
