Rise Of The Modern Shower Screen


types of shower screens
single panel shower screens
Single Panel Shower Screens have become outrageously popular in the past decade. By minimising the amount of surface area in the wet area, the result is a more spacious, open planned bathroom and larger shower area. A single pane screen is seamless, functional and sharp in design. Although they provide less retainment of water splash, they are easiest to clean and best suited for larger bathrooms.Frameless shower screens

semi-frameless shower screens
These screens are favourable if you prefer a clearly defined shower area. A semi-frameless offers a divide between the shower area and the bathroom, resulting in a more contained and closed shower area without compromising on looks and functionality. Semi-frameless screens are usually comprised of a glass door panel and fixed panels for added strength. They generally offer better performance for retaining water when compared to a single panel screen. Popular with renovations, semiframeless screens are typically mid-range priced and fairly easy to clean.
framed shower screens
These are comprised of fixed framed panels that offer a more confined and well-defined shower area. The advantages of a framed screen are that they are stronger and more sealed to retain water. The downfall of a framed shower screen is that they are more difficult to clean due to the increase surface area of nooks and crannies in the frames of the structure. Typically found in older bathrooms, framed screens are quickly being phased out by the more modern designs of frameless and semi-frameless screens. Newer designs of the framed screen have less features for water and mould to build up.

other FEATURES & BENEFITS
Custom shower screens also come with a range of additional and optional features that you will have to consider. Some of the extra features may include pivoting or sliding doors, smooth rounded corners, contoured profiles, different grades and colours of glass, and a variety of different configurations, hinges, brackets and aesthetics.
