Two Fixed Shower Screens

Choosing a shower screen might feel like a small detail but it can totally change the way your bathroom feels. Framed shower screens have a lot to offer and can work well in different bathroom layouts. They add structure and can make maintenance easier while still letting light flow through.

If you’re considering upgrading your bathroom, knowing the differences between framed and frameless shower enclosures will guide your decision.

What Are the Advantages of Framed Shower Screens Over Frameless?

Aluminium-framed shower screens are stronger than frameless options because they provide extra support for the glass, making them more durable and resistant to knocks or accidental bumps.

They also feel sturdier when opening and closing doors and are less prone to wobble. For bathrooms with children or elderly users, the frame can add a sense of stability and security.

Framed screens can also be more forgiving when installing if walls aren’t perfectly square, as they can allow for a snug fit without having to make complicated adjustments.

How Do I Choose the Right Framed Shower Screen for My Bathroom?

Picking the right shower enclosure involves considering the size and layout of the shower, as well as the style of the bathroom. Then, measure your space carefully and think about how the doors will open.

The frame finishes you choose can also complement your existing tiles and fixtures, creating a more cohesive aesthetic.

If you want a screen that fits perfectly with your bathroom design, custom shower screens might be the way to go. With precisely measured dimensions and unique styling choices, you can get the enclosure you want without compromising on durability or performance.

Where Can I Buy Custom Framed Shower Screens in Australia?

How Much Do High-Quality Framed Shower Screens Cost?

The exact pricing depends on a variety of factors, such as materials, size and customisation.

Affordable shower screens are available in standard dimensions, while custom designs with premium glass or polished aluminium frames may cost a little more.

That said, investing in a well-made screen could save you quite a bit of money down the line because it will last longer and resist wear. Considering quality now will reduce the likelihood of repairs or replacements in a few years.

FAQs

Are framed shower screens easier to maintain than frameless?

Yes, many people find upkeep easier because the frame hides small watermarks and gives you a clear surface to wipe down, instead of cleaning exposed glass edges.

Can I match framed screens with my existing bathroom hardware?

Absolutely. A variety of frame colours and finishes can be chosen to coordinate with your taps, tiles and other fittings.

Do custom-framed shower screens take longer to install?

They require precise measurements and fabrication, but professional installers can usually fit them in a day.

Is tempered glass standard for framed shower screens?

Most high-quality screens use tempered glass for added safety and strength.
