Bath Shower Screen

Bath shower screens are the optimal solution if you are looking to fit a shower but don’t have the room for a separate one. They are also the perfect solution if you don’t want to spend a fortune as you don’t have to go to the expense of installing a shower base and shower screen.

Obviously you have another option which is even cheaper and that is to install a shower curtain but these will often go black with mould and will sometimes smell and require constant washing they will also let some water pass and spray onto the floor, all in all it is probably worth the small extra expense required to purchase and install a bath shower screen, these will wipe down clean and keep all the water of your bathroom floor, on top of this they will also look much more impressive.

Bath shower screens are usually made out of glass and are available in many different designs, they may be clear glass or opaque, may have pattern designs and may even have fancy designs in the glass such as fluting and bevelling. Which style you choose will depend largely on your personal taste and the look of the rest of the bathroom. Bear in mind that if you choose a perfectly clear model that this may take some extra cleaning to remove water marks but this should be minimal.

As these are made of glass, it is imperative that you ensure that the one you purchase has safety glass, it is illegal in most countries to sell bath shower screens without safety glass but it is better to air on the side of caution and make sure.

One thing to note when spending the extra for a glass screen is the fact that they last so long, whereas you may want to change your curtains form time to time as they fade you will not have to do this with glass, also as it is just glass and not normally coloured you wont need to change it to suit any new colours you may choose to decorate your room in years to come.

When searching for bath shower screens, check out your local DIY stores as these often carry budget models as well as the more stylish, more expensive models. Once you find a screen design you like, you should take a look on the web and see if you can’t find them cheaper this way, you can often find lots of things online cheaper as many of the companies have lower overheads as they don’t have high street stores but you do need to take account of the delivery charges as they can significantly raise the cost.
