Wet room glass panel across Cambridgeshire

Glass-to-wall and glass-to-glass hinges suit most doors, and pivot hinges let a door swing from a point set in from the edge. Doors normally open outwards, so check the swing clears the toilet, basin and bathroom door before choosing a layout.

Shower screen glass is toughened safety glass made to BS EN 12150. It is heated and then quickly cooled during manufacture, which makes it much stronger than ordinary glass and means that if it does break, it breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.

The price depends mainly on panel sizes, the number of panels, glass thickness, the hinge and bracing hardware, and any cut-outs for sloping ceilings, trays or skirting. Low-iron or satin glass, an easy-clean coating and special finishes add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges.

Screens should be measured after tiling is finished, not from plans. Walls are often out of plumb and floors fall towards the drain, and the glass is made to follow those real angles. Measuring early is a common cause of uneven gaps and leaks.

What applies in Cambridgeshire

Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.

Parts of Cambridgeshire are within about 18 km of the coast, where exposure to wind and salt air is worth planning for. Shower glass sits indoors, so salt air has little effect on it, but coastal homes can have damp, humid air that slows drying. Good bathroom ventilation and a quick squeegee after use help prevent mould on the silicone and marks on the hardware.

Flats often mean carrying large panels up stairs or in small lifts, so panel sizes may need splitting. Building rules on working hours and noise, and bathrooms above other homes, make careful sealing and protection of finishes especially important.

Choosing your shower screens

Pivot door

A door that swings on pivots set in from its edge, useful where the swing space in front of the shower is limited.

Satin or tinted glass

Satin bands, full satin panels or grey and bronze tints that add privacy or style while still letting light into the shower.

Over-bath screen

A fixed or hinged toughened glass panel on the bath edge, made to measure for baths that sit against sloping ceilings or uneven walls.

Low-iron glass

Glass with less iron, which removes the green edge tint of standard glass and keeps tiles and stone looking their true colour.

Shower Screens in Cambridgeshire: questions

Is a chipped shower screen safe to keep using?

A chip on the edge of toughened glass can weaken the whole panel, because the surface is under stress and damage at the edge can lead to sudden breakage. It is safer to stop using that door or panel and have it replaced. We can remake it from the original measurements or a fresh template.

What thickness of glass should a shower screen be?

For frameless screens, 8mm toughened glass suits most doors and enclosures, and 10mm is commonly used for walk-in and wet room panels that stand with little support. Thinner glass is used in framed enclosures where the frame does some of the work. We recommend a thickness at survey based on the panel size and how it is fixed.

Why have a shower screen made to measure instead of buying one?

A made-to-measure screen fits the space exactly, which matters where walls are out of plumb, ceilings slope, trays are non-standard or the opening is an unusual width. Off-the-shelf enclosures rely on adjustment profiles that can leave wide gaps or visible frames. Bespoke glass follows the real shape of the room and keeps sealant lines neat.

What affects the cost of a frameless shower screen?

The main cost drivers are the number and size of panels, glass thickness, the type of hinges, clamps and bracing, and any shaped cuts for sloping ceilings or trays. An easy-clean coating, low-iron or satin glass and special hardware finishes add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges, and your written quote fixes the price.
