Bath Screen - Buying Guide

Bath Screen - Buying Guide

When someone is taking a bath or shower, water may splash out and make the floor wet. A wet floor is slippery and increases the risk of falling. It also causes mould and mildew problems. The shower screen can keep the bathroom dry by keeping water away from other parts of the bathroom. Not only it makes your bathroom splash-free but also looks better than a shower curtain. Bath shower screens are available in varying styles and thicknesses. These are easy to install and clean making them our top choice to prevent water puddle ups.

Affordable substitute for shower enclosure

Installing a standalone shower enclosure is not feasible for certain individuals. Space in the bathroom can restrict your options. You can either bath or shower. In either case, small children and babies make a shower a non-starter, most families prefer a bath over a shower enclosure.

The choice of getting a shower unit built over a bath, however, has always been convenient. This was done by deflecting water back into the bath using a shower curtain and rail system. The shower curtain was a messy affair, stucking with your body when wet, and didn't do much for your bathroom's look or style.

Here comes the option of a fixed glass screen for the bath. The projector is fitted to the wall and extended along the top edge of the bathtub for about 800mm.

The Folding Bath Screen does exactly this- it folds away against the bathroom wall in concertina style when not in use. These screens typically consist of 4 or 5 individual panels attached to pivot hinges , which magnetically 'lock' into place when opened along the bath edge. Water is redirected back into the bath by a small plastic seal at the bottom. You simply fold the panel back against itself and keep it neatly against the supporting wall when you are done with the shower.

The sliding choice is a second and different type of bath screen. This is a variant of the conventional fixed glass screen, but it also has a second screen of glass that slides further along the bath and magnetically clicks into place. 

You may pick ones that are clear and translucent with bath screens to improve the look of the tile in your bath. To produce an opaque appearance, you can also select parts that have been avidly etched so that you cannot see past the glass surface. To create picture scenes or designs, the opaque images on the glass surface can be crafted. By using these objects, you can add a personal flare.

To make your bathroom look appealing, you can buy several different kinds of hinges and hardware. You can find chrome hardware, polished brass, and nickel-plated hardware. Keep searching for modern trends or visit the online store of Royal Bathrooms.
