Bespoke shower enclosure across County Tyrone
Toughened glass can very occasionally break on its own because of nickel sulphide inclusions. Heat soak testing to BS EN 14179 reduces that risk by breaking flawed panels in the factory, though it cannot remove it completely, and it can be specified for any screen.
The glass screen stops spray, but it is not the waterproofing. The tanking behind the tiles, the tray or floor fall and the drain do that job. Clear silicone along the glass edges then seals the joints, and it needs time to cure before the shower is used.
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.
What applies in County Tyrone
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.
Parts of County Tyrone are within about 20 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.
Older rural homes often have uneven walls, sloping ceilings and timber floors that flex, all of which shape the screen design. Hard water is common in some areas, so an easy-clean coating and regular squeegeeing help keep the glass clear.

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.
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.
Easy-clean coating
A water-repellent coating bonded to the glass that helps water bead and run off, reducing limescale and the time spent cleaning.
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.
Shower Screens in County Tyrone: questions
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.
Will a frameless shower screen leak?
A well-designed frameless screen contains spray effectively, but it is not completely watertight like a sealed enclosure. Leaks are prevented by the right panel length, a properly falling floor or level tray, drip and sweep seals on doors, and neat silicone on fixed edges. Shower head position matters too, so we look at it during the survey.
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.
Can a shower screen be fitted to a stud or plasterboard wall?
Yes, provided the hinges and brackets fix into solid backing. On stud or plasterboard walls that usually means timber noggins behind the fixing points, or suitable heavy-duty fixings where noggins were not fitted. A heavy glass door on weak fixings can drop or pull away, so we check the wall during the survey.
