Why Choose a Bath Screen?
For the Trade: Reliability and Efficiency
We know that for tradespeople, a product is only as good as its installation. Our bath screens are engineered with the professional in mind:
- Easy Installation: Many of our screens feature "out-of-true" wall profiles, allowing for a plumb finish even if the bathroom walls aren't perfectly straight.
- Durable Materials: Built from toughened safety glass and corrosion-resistant aluminium frames, these screens are designed to reduce callbacks and withstand heavy daily use.
- Versatile Fit: Most models are reversible, meaning you can carry one style that works for both left and right-hand configurations, simplifying your inventory and project planning.
For Homeowners: Style and Protection
Transform your bathroom from a functional space into a sanctuary with a sleek, glass finish:
- Stylish Designs: Move away from dated curtains. Our screens offer minimalist, frameless, or industrial-grid looks that make even small bathrooms feel larger and brighter.
- Superior Water Protection: Unlike billowing curtains, a screen creates a firm, watertight seal against the bath rim, keeping your floors dry and preventing long-term water damage to your subfloor.
- Improved Hygiene: Glass is non-porous and naturally resistant to mould and mildew, which frequently plague fabric curtains. Many of our screens also feature easy-clean coatings that repel limescale and soap scum.

Curved Bath Screens
Quick installations for modern bathrooms. Curved screens offer a softer, contemporary silhouette that breaks up the hard lines of a traditional bathroom. These are often the go-to choice for P-shaped or curved shower baths, but they also work beautifully on straight baths, adding a touch of designer flair. Because of their simple, single-panel design, they are often the fastest and easiest to install.
Hinged Bath Screens
Durable and tough, reversible design. If durability is your priority, hinged screens are a fantastic choice. These screens feature high-quality metal hinges that allow the glass to swing inward or outward, making it easy to access the taps or clean the tub. Most of our hinged models feature a universal, reversible design, allowing them to be fitted to either the left or right-hand side of your bath.
Folding Bath Screens
Space-saving solutions and stylishly functional. Perfect for smaller bathrooms or "tuck-away" convenience, folding screens (often called concertina screens) consist of multiple panels that fold back against the wall.
- Space-Saving: They open up the room when the shower isn't in use, making the bathroom feel larger.
- Family Friendly: They can be fully folded out of the way, making it much easier to bathe children or pets without a glass barrier.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bath Screens
Can you put a bath screen on any bath?
Most standard straight baths are compatible with bath screens. The primary requirement is a flat, level rim for the screen's bottom seal to sit against. If your bath has a heavily rolled edge or a very unusual shape, a standard screen may not create a watertight seal. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with specific bath shapes.
Which bath screen is right for me?
The "right" screen depends on your bathroom layout and lifestyle:
- Fixed Screens: A single steady panel. Simple and minimalist.
- Pivoting/Swing Screens: These open outwards or inwards, making it easier to access the taps or clean the bath.
- Folding/Four-Fold Screens: These can be pushed completely out of the way against the wall—ideal for smaller bathrooms or when bathing children.
How do I make sure I choose the right size?
Measurement is key. First, measure the height from the rim of the bath to the ceiling or any overhead fixtures to ensure there is enough clearance. Second, check the width; the screen needs to be wide enough to catch the spray from your shower head, but not so long that it obstructs access to the room. Most standard screens are between 700mm and 900mm wide.
Can corner baths have a bath screen?
Yes, but you cannot use a standard straight screen. You will need a specific "curved" bath screen designed to match the radius of a corner or offset-corner bath. These are often brand-specific, so it is best to check if the manufacturer of your bath offers a matching screen.
What thickness is best for a bath screen?
Glass thickness is a balance between luxury, weight, and price. Thicker glass feels more premium and vibrates less, but it is much heavier and requires more robust wall fixings.
- 4mm – 5mm: Lightweight and budget-friendly.
- 6mm: The industry standard—offers a great balance of durability and value.
- 8mm+: High-end, "frameless" look with maximum sturdiness.
In the current market, bath screen glass thickness typically ranges from 4mm to 10mm. All screens sold by reputable retailers are made from toughened safety glass, meaning that in the unlikely event of a breakage, the glass will shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than dangerous shards.
Are bath screens easy to install?
Generally, yes. Most modern bath screens feature "out-of-true" adjustments within the wall profile, which allow you to install the screen perfectly level, even if your bathroom walls are slightly slanted. As long as you follow the instructions and apply the sealant only to the outside of the profile (to allow any trapped water to drain back into the bath), you can achieve a professional finish in about an hour.
