Bespoke shower enclosure in County Antrim
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.
Hinges carry the full weight of a glass door, so they must fix into solid backing. Tiled plasterboard or stud walls usually need timber noggins or suitable heavy-duty fixings behind the hinge positions, which is easier to arrange before tiling than afterwards.
An easy-clean coating is a water-repellent layer bonded to the glass that helps water run off and reduces limescale and soap marks. It does not stop cleaning altogether, and how long it lasts depends on following the care instructions and avoiding abrasive products.
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.

What applies in County Antrim
Technical Booklet V covers safety glazing in Northern Ireland, including glass in and around doors and low-level glazing where people could walk into it.
County Antrim has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. 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
Hinged door enclosure
A glass door on wall or glass hinges with fixed side panels, suiting alcoves, corners and trays where a fully enclosed shower is wanted.
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.
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.
Walk-in wet room panel
A single fixed glass panel with a bracing bar or floor channel, leaving an open entry and no door to clean or adjust.
Shower Screens in County Antrim: questions
When should my shower screen be measured?
Your screen should be measured once the walls are tiled and the tray or wet room floor is finished. The glass is made to follow the exact angles of the finished surfaces, and tiles, adhesive and trims all change the dimensions. If you are mid-renovation, we can advise on fixing positions and backing before tiling starts.
Is an easy-clean coating on shower glass worth having?
An easy-clean coating makes water bead and run off, so limescale and soap marks build up more slowly and wiping takes less effort. It is most useful in hard-water areas. It does not replace cleaning, and its life depends on using non-abrasive products, so we give you the care instructions with the screen.
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.
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.
