Congratulations on your decision to renovate your bathroom with a frameless shower screen! Your new enclosure is sure to add beauty to your bathroom and value to your home.
Plumb Walls & Level Floors
Walls which glass panel need to be completely vertical or "plumb" and floor need to completely vertical or "level". In order to prevent large silicon gaps, uneven joints, and hinge "bind" the walls can't lean in any direction, be "bowed" or "bellied".
To ensure the most cost-effective outcome use pre-made panels. These panels are all cut square and is recommended that walls and floors are less than 5mm out of plumb.
Otherwise for the best outcome you should consider getting a custom-made panel which will be cut to follow the slopes of the walls and floors.

When planning your shower design, keep in mind that Building Code states that all hinged shower doors must open outwards. If a shower doors that swing inwards only are not permitted. The shower enclosure must permit unobstructed access to a showering person in case of a fall.
Check that the shower door will not be obstructed by anything, like a toilet or vanity. If your bathroom is not suitable for a hinged shower door, consider choosing a sliding shower door.

We realise this is not always possible to purchase a standard pre-made shower screen package for a pre-existing bathroom and you will need to order a custom (made-to-measure) shower screen. We specialise in mixing custom panels with our pre-made panels to ensure you continue to save money.
There are couple of ways to keep the pricing of a custom-made screen down:
- use our standard height of 2m
- use our pre-made doors of 600mm wide
