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 low-price, low quality, flimsy plastic screens through to high-quality, high price toughened glass luxury screens. So what is the best way to go about selecting 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 will have been manufactured cheaply using low quality parts and materials. Cheaper shower frames can often leak or fall apart.
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.
The very first thing to consider is 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 each thoroughly and be certain that the screen opens smoothly and that all the components are good quality.
I 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 swayed by the thickness of the glass. The important thing to look for is toughened glass that is certified for use in the bathroom. Thick glass shower screens can cost a lot more but they are also much 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. I recommend spending a little more cash and getting the best quality screen you can afford.
