Made-to-measure shower screens

A bespoke shower screen is planned around the tray, walls, finished floor and chosen hardware. Fixed walk-in panels, hinged doors and bath screens use different supports. Describe the arrangement and ask the supplier to confirm the glass thickness and safety specification for it.

Polished edges, hinges, wall channels, stabilising bars and door seals need to work together. Include wall angles, any out-of-plumb surfaces and the direction of opening in the survey. Holes and notches must be agreed before the glass is toughened.

Clear, low-iron, frosted or decorative shower glass gives a different appearance and degree of privacy. Protective coatings can be requested alongside a care plan. A sample and the supplier's cleaning instructions are more useful than a claim that shower glass will never mark.

Toughened glass, made for your project for your project

Common enquiry briefs include shower or screen, table or shelf, door or partition, balustrade infill. Describe the intended use and the supporting construction so the supplier can assess the complete specification. Different applications can need different glass processing, fixings and installation details.

Plan the processing first

Cutting and drilling happen before heat treatment. Include the hardware drawing when requesting a quote.

Support changes the specification

A supported shelf and a frameless screen need different design checks, even if their sizes match.

What to include in a made-to-measure quote

Compare quotes using the same dimensions, quantities, finish, glass construction and installation scope. If you have a drawing or an existing specification, include its reference and identify which details still need advice.

  • Thickness request: Thickness depends on support, span and use; it is not a structural approval.
  • Appearance: Colour and finish are requests; confirm a sample before ordering.
  • Exposed edges: Tell the supplier which edges remain visible after installation.
  • Holes and cut-outs: All fabrication must be agreed before toughening; finished toughened glass cannot be recut.

Cut-to-size dimensions, edges and fabrication

Measure the finished glass only when the fitting allowances and support details are known. Otherwise identify the opening or existing panel you measured and request a survey. Give each different size its own basket line, with its quantity and drawing reference.

Holes, cut-outs, shaped edges and interfaces with hardware should be settled before manufacture. The finished glass construction and any coatings must suit the intended environment. A screen preview or concept photograph cannot replace a sample, survey or product-specific installation drawing.

Supplier checks before manufacture

  • Confirm finished sizes, hole centres and edge clearances before manufacture.
  • Ask for the impact classification and any heat-soak requirement for the intended installation.

Requesting comparable glass quotes

Save the choices you know and ask for help with the rest. The quote basket records a specification request rather than placing a manufacturing order. A firm quote needs an agreed final build, dimensions, delivery arrangements and any installation or design work.

When comparing proposals, check that glass-only supply and supply with fitting cover the same scope. Ask who provides measurement, drawings, supports, compatible hardware, lifting access and finishing work. Keep the final approved specification with the order.

FAQs

Shower screen questions

What thickness should a shower screen be?

8mm toughened glass is the standard for fixed panels and bath screens; 10mm suits larger walk-in panels and frameless enclosures. Both are safety glass under BS EN 12150.

Do I need toughened glass for a shower screen?

Yes. Shower screens must be safety glass, and toughened is the norm because it breaks into small blunt fragments and handles thermal stress in a bathroom.

How do I stop limescale on shower glass?

Squeegee after use and clean weekly with a mild vinegar solution or a limescale remover rated for glass. A protective coating can be quoted by your supplier as an extra.

Can a shower screen be fitted over a bath?

Yes — a straight or curved bath screen, typically 6mm to 8mm toughened, protects the floor from spray while keeping the bath usable. Measure the bath length and desired screen height before requesting quotes.
