Nottinghamshire: frameless shower screens
Because toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled after toughening, hinge holes, clamp positions and notches around trays or skirting are formed before the glass goes into the furnace. A panel that does not fit has to be remade, so accurate templating matters.
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.
A walk-in panel fixed only at the wall and floor needs a bracing bar running to the wall or ceiling to stop it flexing. The bar's position is planned around tiles, windows and shower valves, and a floor channel can reduce or remove the need for a brace.
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.

What applies in Nottinghamshire
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.
Nottinghamshire is inland, around 46 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.
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
Satin or tinted glass

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.
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 Nottinghamshire: questions
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.
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.
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 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.
