Frameless Shower Screens look very stylish and modern no doubt, but there are a few things you should know about them before you go ahead. Here are the 3 things you should know before making the decision to get frameless glass shower screens:

  1. Splashing - Obviously frameless glass shower screens have slight gaps as opposed to a framed shower screens. Depending on your shower head design, spray range, pressure and how each person showers there is bound to be some excess water splash that ends up on the floor outside. For some people this is a pain and others it is not an issue. But it is definitely worth mentioning.
  2. Tightening - After installation frameless shower screens require tightening every so often, depending on the amount of movement or vibration applied to them. This is especially important in the days/weeks/months after initial installation (depending on usage), while the rubber mounts wear in. Usually it is just an allen key to tighten them up though.
  3. Problems with "off the shelf screens" - Buying frameless shower screens off the shelf can be a great way to keep the costs down, but off the shelf screens are made for square openings which bathrooms rarely are ,especially if you are renovating an old bathroom, so essentially it can be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, it just doesn't look quiet right.
