Frameless Shower Screens
Frameless shower screens are one of the most popular options for modern bathroom renovations, and rightly so! Because without a bulky frame, the frameless glass shower screen creates a seamless and sleek look — which makes your bathroom look and feel larger and more spacious.
Frameless glass shower screens are also easier to keep clean, as there are fewer nooks and crannies where grime can accumulate! Their minimalist design also allows for better natural light flow, giving your bathroom design a bright and airy feel. #tickticktick

2. Curved Shower Screens
A curved bathroom shower screen is a stylish and practical choice for your bathroom renovation, offering both functionality and a touch of luxury. Curved glass is a great way to break up the straight lines of your tiles, and its smooth contours make cleaning a breeze with no sharp edges to tackle.

3. Fluted Glass Shower Screens
Fluted glass, also known as reeded or ribbed glass, is a custom shower screen design that's been making waves in the interior design world, and for a good reason. With their unique texture and retro appeal, fluted glass shower screens add depth and a touch of vintage style to a bathroom or ensuite design.
Fluted glass shower screens are a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Their textured surface provides a level of privacy without compromising on natural light; creating a soft, diffused, filtered light effect. Using fluted glass in your shower is a great way to make a focal point or add a ‘wow’ factor to your bathroom, and is as effective in a small bathroom design as it is in larger bathrooms.

4. No Shower Screen Showers
In many ways, a No Shower Screen design is the ultimate! That’s because eliminating the barrier of glass, creates a seamless transition between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom, creating the illusion of a larger bathroom space.
Opting for no glass also makes your shower area feel like a luxury day spa rather than a regular bathroom. And one of the best features of the no-shower screen design? No shower screen glass cleaning! — cutting down bathroom cleaning time and ensuring you’ll never have to contend with watermarks again… #yespleaseandthankyou

5. Half Wall Shower Screens
Especially in a smaller bathroom, a half-wall shower screen creates an open and spacious look while still providing some level of privacy. It’s an ideal shower screen solution for bathrooms where families need to share the bathroom and maximise the functionality of the space.
And best of all, the half-wall delivers on so many levels —
Creates a shower screen with storage: The lower wall section can be tiled to match your bathroom walls and utilised as a handy shelf for shower or bathroom storage.
The lower wall provides a fixing point to install a toilet roll holder or hand towel hooks for your bathroom vanity, or other bathroom accessories and features like bathroom lighting.

6. Tiled Wall Shower Screens
A tiled wall shower screen is the perfect way to create the effect of a shower room in your bathroom project.
Opting for the same tile for your shower screen wall and the rest of your bathroom creates a cohesive and integrated look that’s minimal, modern and uncomplicated. As a result, the shower screen wall blends seamlessly with the other bathroom walls, giving a clean and custom aesthetic with a completely private space for the ultimate shower experience.

7. Brass Frame Shower Screens
When planning your bathroom renovation, matching the colours and finishes in your bathroom to other areas of your home creates cohesion and connection in your home design.
A brass shower screen frame adds warmth and luxury to your bathroom, instantly elevating the overall aesthetic, and can be used to tie in with other brass fixtures and accessories in your home renovation. This option works well in both traditional and contemporary homes and pairs beautifully with bathroom tiles and colour like white, grey and both cooler and warm neutrals.

8. Black Framed Shower Screens
A black framed shower screen creates a bold statement in any bathroom renovation, instantly drawing attention and creating a focal point in your space. Shower screens with black frames can be used to create striking contrasts with surfaces like light-coloured tiles, stone and bathroom vanities — resulting in a minimalist or masculine bathroom design.
Incorporating a black framed screen is especially effective when it’s paired with other black fixtures and fittings, for a contemporary bathroom design with bold pops of black!

9. Floor-To-Ceiling Glass Shower Screens
A floor to ceiling glass shower screen creates clean, minimal lines for a contemporary and timeless shower design. With no shower screen frames or additional components to contend with, the eye is drawn up, visually accentuating the height of your bathroom space.
If your bathroom is in need of extra light, or height, floor to ceiling glass is the ultimate way to create a sense of space without adding to your bathroom size!
