Measure smart: choose the right size, height and adjustment range

Do not focus only on a popular size. A 90x200 cm shower screen usually describes the glass panel, while 90x90 cm often refers to the complete corner configuration. Therefore, always measure after tiling or after installing the shower floor or shower tray, determine the position of the shower drain in good time, and also consider entry space and the desired splash protection. For renovations, the adjustment range is important: adjustability accommodates slight deviations in the walls and often prevents unnecessary custom work. Side panels and a stabilizing bar also determine whether the screen will ultimately fit securely and look good. Many models are approximately 200 cm high, but the right width depends on your bathroom.

Choose your look: clear, frosted or smoked glass, with a frame or sleek frameless

Style
Effect in the bathroom
Pairs well with




Clear glass
Lets in plenty of light and keeps the space looking open.
Sleek faucets, an open walk-in shower and a minimalist shower door.


Frosted glass
Provides more privacy and a softer look.
Family bathrooms and configurations where less visibility is preferred.


Smoked glass
Creates more contrast and a luxurious, modern look.
Black accents, dark faucets and a bath screen or door in the same style.


Framed or frameless
A frame creates more definition; frameless glass looks calmer and sleeker.
Match the finish to the shower door, bath screen and visible faucets for a cohesive look.

Pay attention to safety glass, glass thickness and limescale protection

For a shower screen, choose toughened safety glass. It is better suited to daily use in the bathroom and feels safer than standard glass. The glass thickness determines how sturdy and substantial the screen feels; thicker glass also requires proper support, for example with framing or a stabilizing bar. With models featuring an anti-limescale or nano coating, water, soap residue and limescale adhere less quickly to the surface, but maintenance is still necessary. Therefore, do not look only at the lowest price, but at the overall value for money of the glass, finish and ease of use.

Install without hassle: check this beforehand

A short check beforehand can prevent a great deal of delay and rework:

• Check that the wall is straight, level, and strong enough for installing the glass and profiles.
• Only take measurements once the floor, wall finish, and any shower tray or shower floor have been permanently installed.
• Take the position of the shower tap, hand shower, niche, or shower rack into account so that nothing comes into contact with the glass or a door.
• Check the door swing and walking space if you choose a combination with a shower door.
• Check in advance where the sealant joints, wall profiles, and stabilizing bars need to be installed.
• For heavier glass or a setup with a door and side panel, additional help or professional installation is often advisable.

How to keep your shower screen clear for longer

• Squeegee the glass dry after showering or wipe it briefly to reduce limescale and soap residue.
• Use mild cleaning products, such as water with vinegar or a gentle glass cleaner, and choose a soft cloth or sponge.
• Avoid abrasive products; regular maintenance helps keep the coating, transparency, and neat appearance looking good for longer.

Frequently asked questions about shower screens

Below you will find brief answers to common questions before choosing a design.

What is a good alternative to a glass shower screen?

If you want more enclosure, consider a combination with a shower door and possibly a side panel rather than a standalone screen. If you have a bath-shower combination, a bath screen is often the most practical solution. If you mainly want extra privacy, frosted or smoked glass are strong alternatives that retain the open feel of glass. Wall cladding or lightweight panels mainly change the room's finish, but do not offer the same splash protection.

What are the disadvantages of a glass shower screen?

An open glass shower screen keeps less water contained than a more enclosed shower setup. With clear glass, limescale, droplets, and streaks are also more noticeable if you do not dry the glass regularly. Heavier glass also requires precise installation, especially with wider screens or combinations with a door and side panel. Privacy also depends heavily on the chosen finish: clear glass looks spacious, while frosted or smoked glass provides more cover, while a black shower screen works beautifully with dark accents.

View the range and order the shower screen that suits you

Filter the range by size, glass finish, and finish, and immediately compare which shower screens suit your bathroom. If your setup needs more enclosure, combine it with a shower door, side panel, stabilizing bar, or bath screen. This way, you can choose based on both value for money and clear product specifications. View the models, select the right design, order your shower screen easily online, or contact us for advice.
