How to Choose the Perfect Sliding Shower Screen

Selecting the right sliding shower screens in Perth is a straightforward process when you have a clear idea of your needs and preferences. Whether renovating or updating your bathroom or ensuite, the right choice can significantly boost functionality and aesthetics.

Sliding Shower Screen FAQs

The main disadvantages of sliding shower doors include needing a track, which can collect grime if not cleaned regularly, and a narrower entry space than shower screens with pivot doors. However, modern sliding systems—like the ones offered at Ross’s—are smooth-gliding, easy to clean, and designed for compact bathrooms with limited space.

Yes, sliding shower doors are generally more expensive than pivot-style models due to their more complex track mechanisms and multiple panels. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, pivot door shower screens start at $760, while double pivot options start from $940. In comparison, standard sliding screens start at $960, corner entry sliding screens start from $840, and quadrant sliding options begin at $920—reflecting their versatility and space-saving benefits.

Sliding shower doors are designed to contain water effectively when installed correctly. While no shower enclosure is 100% watertight, Ross’s sliding screens include quality seals and bottom tracks that direct water back into the shower tray. Ensuring your shower base is level and silicone sealing is properly applied will minimise the chance of leaks.

All sliding shower screens at Ross’s Discount Home Centre are built from toughened safety glass and corrosion-resistant aluminium and come with a 15-year warranty. With regular cleaning and correct installation, they are made to last well beyond that—delivering long-term durability for modern Australian bathrooms.

Yes, sliding shower doors are a great option, especially in bathrooms where space is limited. They don’t require swing clearance like pivot doors, making them ideal for tight layouts or ensuite renovations. Ross’s sliding doors are engineered for smooth operation, easy access, and long-lasting performance.

Yes, Ross’s sliding shower doors use a bottom-guided track system to ensure the glass panels remain perfectly aligned and glide smoothly. While some designs feature overhead tracking, a well-engineered bottom track provides better stability, balance, and vertical accuracy, especially for larger or heavier glass panels.

The sliding door should open on the side that allows the most convenient entry, depending on your bathroom layout and nearby fixtures. That’s why all Ross’s sliding shower screens are designed with reversible panels, giving you the flexibility to open from the left or right during installation to best suit your space.

To replace a sliding glass shower door, you’ll typically need to budget for the replacement shower screen and labour costs. At Ross’s, replacement sliding screens range from $840 to $960+, depending on the style (standard, corner entry, or quadrant). Professional installation may cost an additional $195 to $400, depending on the number of panels and the complexity of removal. However, our shower screens are designed for DIY installation, allowing confident renovators to save on labour costs and complete the job themselves with basic tools.
