Who out there hasn’t stayed at a nice hotel, resort or even a friend’s house, and been impressed with the design of the bathroom? Those cool looking glass shower screens, were what gave those bathroom the edge and made them look that much more spacious.
Glass shower screens are most commonly seen in Europe in showers which act also as tubs, as well as stand-alone showers, even though the stand-alone units will usually have some doors.

Glass shower screens are much easier to clean than shower curtains, and naturally will last a lot longer.
- In Western Australia, there is a great range of top quality shower screens available in Perth.
Sliding shower doors can be more difficult to clean due to being hard to reach. The shower screen provides easy cleaning as well as a much more economical solution than shower doors.
Choice of Designs
There are different kinds of glass shower screens available nowadays and the panels of glass can be framed in metal or left frameless, it’s the customer’s choice. While most frameless shower screens in Perth, completely enclose the shower or bathtub area, some of them will only partially enclose the space. It’s all up to the homeowner’s choice of style.
Available Types
A fixed pane of glass is one glass shower screen type, which is popular and easily available.
- This sort of screen covers just a portion of a showering area, and includes no doors or other mobile parts.
- This fixed type can come with or without a frame.
Fixed panes which enclose the shower are also popular and available. This type of glass shower screen has a hinged door which allows access into the shower space.
Matter of Taste
For those people out there who are interested in frameless glass screens, the stationary glass pieces hold up just fine without any need for a metal frame.
These are typically made from clear glass, and actually give the impression of making a bathroom look larger by not blocking off any space which is normally obscured by the shower.
- Frameless glass screens are connected to each other by way of metal fixtures.
Another Option
One more popular option is framed or unframed glass which slides along a track. These shower screens allow for easy access to a bathtub or shower area.
- These glass panels can slide along the length of the shower or tub, or can be folded inward by way of a bi-fold door.
Bi- fold doors are usually fitted in bathrooms where there is limited space because they don’t block off any part of a bathroom when open.
