Frameless corner glass shelf for shower screen

If you have ever shopped for shower screens you will have found that there are a bewildering array to choose from. From expensive toughened glass bath screens through to low-price, low quality flimsy plastic screens. So how do you find the best screen for your bathroom?

At the cheaper end of the scale you will find shower screens and shower bath screens that are made with visual appeal in mind. They will often look good but closer inspection will show that they are cheaply manufactured. Cheap shower bath screens can often exhibit problems with flimsy frames, leakage and thin, plastic components.

At the expensive end of the scale you will find screens that use top quality, toughened glass with high quality, corrosion resistant metal frames that can be adjusted to fit a variety of baths and showers.

Be certain to check what will fit your bath or shower. You may find that your choices are limited to shower bath screens from only one manufacturer. If possible I recommend that you visit a showroom where you can see a range of bathroom suites and screens displayed. Test them all and be certain that you are happy with the way they open, the quality of the finish and the components and materials used.

I would always recommend toughened glass over plastic. Plastic can quickly become scratched and dull whereas glass wil stay good for many years.

Toughened glass is a must. But don’t be persuaded by the thickness of the safety glass. The important factor is that the glass is toughened and certified for use in the bathroom. The thicker the glass the more costly the shower screen, and they are heavier and more difficult to install.

I recommend that you go for the best quality you can afford as cheaper screens will tend to need replacement sooner. Its worth spending a little more cash and getting the best quality shower screen that you can afford.
