Things You Need To Know Before Buying Shower Screens

Announcement posted by Outdoor Living Direct 29 Jan 2022

Installing a screen for a nice and classy look is a MUST if you want to put a shower over your bath or renovate your old shower.

Shower screens are a much more stylish replacement for traditional shower curtains for the twenty-first century. They are available in a variety of forms, sizes, and thicknesses to fit your showers and compliment your home decor.

Well, decent-quality shower screens can introduce some luxury hotel style to your home. They are very trendy and can make your bathroom appear larger and more modern.

While curtains are convenient and come at less price, shower screens may be a better alternative if you really want to put some extra flair to your shower.

What Are Shower Screens

Shower screens and shutters stop water from splashing out of the space. Clear glass screens are a beautiful substitute for the curtains that are also quite sanitary - if cleaned regularly! This makes them an excellent choice for either closing off your shower or simply sprucing up your bathroom.

Shower screens are the solution to go if you don't really want your shower to seem like a public pool! Furthermore, enclosing your shower will give additional coziness since the steam trapped within will raise the temperature level.

If you want to add more style to your shower hire an electrician to add fancy lights that will go with the overall home decor. 

What To Consider When Buying a Bath Shower Screen?

The choice of shower screens in the streets is wide enough to fit any shower installation, with several glass kinds offered, featuring frosted and transparent alternatives, as well as different shapes that can bend, fold, or move according to your preferences.

Shower screens are a popular suggestion, but if you plan on keeping an over-bath screen, there are a few more factors to consider, including style, fitting, space constraints, and access. 

Would it be placed directly to the exterior or would you need an alternative that also mounts to the bath? Would there be enough space to go in the bath securely with a screen installed, or will a foldable or sliding screen be required?

How Long Will You Shower Screens Last?

If treated properly, a premium quality glass shower screen must last roughly 20 to 30 years, although there are numerous minor aspects that might impact this average lifespan.

Frameless glass shower doors, for example, tend to survive better than framed doors since the metals are typically the first to show indications of wear and tear.

The metal is prone to separating, corroding, and accumulating mineral deposits, all of which can take attention away dramatically from the general look of the shower.

Final Words

The shower screen must be picked depending on the arrangement of your shower, the square footage available, and the decor of your home.

It's critical to have the appropriate specifications when it comes to installing your screen. These will differ based on the sort of shower you have.

In order for your screen to operate correctly, you should strictly review the manufacturer's instructions.
