Walk in shower screen in Staffordshire: what to know
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.
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.
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.
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 Staffordshire
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.
Staffordshire is inland, around 44 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Shower Screens in Staffordshire: 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.
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.
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.
