Toughened, crystal clear glass panel

Though European in style, our bathtub shower screens are specified for North Amercian bathrooms. They can be mounted on the left or the right hand side of the tub so you don't need to specify this when ordering. All our screens are hinged at the wall allowing them to be opened into and out of the bathtub.

All our bathtub shower screens are 33.5 inches wide. This is a good size for mounting over 5 foot tubs, preventing water from escaping above and at the side of the screen while providing reasonable access to the showering area. Many screens are shorter than this, allowing water to splash over the top.

The glass is 5/16 inches (8mm) thick which gives a luxurious feel whilst not being too heavy. Most of the bath tub doors (sliding or swinging) sold in the US are thinner than this and feel flimsy and cheap by comparison 1/4 inches (6mm) is common - ours are 33% thicker.

We have selected 'crystal' clear (untinted) glass to minimise the visual impact of the screen once installed. The effect is to make the bathroom feel larger than with shower curtains or opaque screens, giving a lift to smaller bathrooms in particular. Our frameless bath tub screens use thermally toughened safety glass which conforms to stringent US and EU standards, ANSI Z97.1, CPSC 16 CFR 1201, EN 12150, EN 12160 and BS6206A.


Semi-frameless and frameless ranges

Semi-frameless range - features a sleek continious hinge made from high quality aluminum. This prevents water from escaping from between the glass and the wall.
Frameless range - features two discrete hinges made from either precision forged solid brass or precision engineered 304 solid stainless steel (depending upon the finish selected).

The frameless shower screens are not as leak proof as the semi-frameless models because a little water can escape between the wall and the edge of the glass. There is a sweep to minimize this leakage but the seal is not perfectly water tight. However, the discrete hinges make them look more minimalist than the semi frameless screens. The frameless screens are nice solution if aesthetics are very important and you don't mind taking a little care when showering to minimize water leakage / mop up any leakage after.

Choice of height and glass top corner finish

Our shower screens are available in three heights, 60", 64" and 70". The 70 inch high model can look dramatic if you have enough height between the tub ledge and the ceiling. If your ceiling is lower or you have a soffit above the tub, the 64" or 60" model may be the better choice. Please measure first before ordering.

Choose from a round (6" radius) or square glass top corner.
