Glazier Services in Brisbane | Glazier Brisbane: Shower Screens – A Stylish and Practical Addition to Your Bathroom

Shower Screens Brisbane

Shower screens are a stylish, practical addition to any bathroom. Made with toughened safety glass that complies with Australian standards, they are much more durable than shower curtains.

They are also easy to clean. They are designed to resist mildew and mould, and they can be easily cleaned with a quick spray of vinegar.

Frameless

A stunning addition to any bathroom, our frameless shower screens are custom designed and manufactured to fit your bathroom and your tastes. They create an amazing sense of space with no obstructing frame to interrupt the view of the shower and come in either fixed or hinged designs. The hardware is generally kept compact to help maintain the open styling effect and Brisbane Glazing offer a wide range of glass types and aluminium finishes that compliment any decor.

A semi-frameless screen is the perfect compromise between a traditional framed shower and a contemporary fully frameless style. The framing only covers the top, bottom and sides of the glass, meaning you can enjoy the clean lines of a fully frameless shower without compromising on strength or budget.

A framed or glazed shower screen is an economical choice that can be customised with the use of various hinges and rail systems, snap caps and dress trims in a selection of colours and finishes. The frames are usually constructed from aluminium with a glass panel which is fitted to the frame by the use of seals. This type of shower screen is ideal if your bathroom is already well equipped with a sliding door system or if you prefer the ease of opening and closing of a bi-fold shower door.

Pivot Door

Pivot Door Shower Screens are a good choice for smaller bathrooms as they don’t require the extra space that hinge shower doors do. They also have the benefit of being more steady and safe due to their structure. They work much like bifold doors do in closets, so they do not open as wide as normal shower doors do and are easier for people with mobility issues to use.

Fully Framed Shower Screens have a full framing on all sides -the front, back and any return panels – so the glass is fully encased in metal to make it sturdy and easy to operate. They are popular options because they have a clean, traditional look that fits well with many bathroom designs. They are also durable, with a laminated safety glass that holds together if broken and meets Grade A Safety Glass requirements set by Australian Standards.

They are a relatively cheap option, with the average 800mm x 800mm free standing glass shower costing around $200-300. This can be less if you opt for the clear glass type which is generally cheaper than other types such as acid etched or tinted. Once your Tasker has measured up your shower, they will order the glass and fittings for it to be custom made to your space, which usually takes a week or so.

Bi-Fold Door

The beauty of bi-fold doors is they offer a transition point between your interior living spaces and outdoor areas. Complemented with elegant fly screens they help you to enjoy the fresh air and amazing views without insects entering your home.

The design of a bi-fold door is based on thin aluminium or timber frames that enclose large panes of glass. The doors can open inwards or outwards depending on the size of your space. Some manufacturers and installers offer a range of screen options to suit your home. For example, a perimeter framed semi-frameless shower screen with dress trims and pivot blocks in colour matched glazing vinyl is a modern solution that can be designed for your specific bi-fold doorway configuration.

If you have young children in your family make sure the bi-fold doors you choose come with finger-safe child-proof gaskets that cushion a child’s fingers should they get caught in the sliding doors panels. You should also install your bi-folds in a well-ventilated area, such as an indoor/outdoor living room or an alfresco kitchen.

When installing a bi-fold door it’s best to hire an experienced installer. Unlike sliding windows, the installation process is more complex and requires expert knowledge. A good installer can ensure the bi-fold is properly fitted and secured, making it watertight and weather tight.
