Wet room glass panel in West Yorkshire
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.
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 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.
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 West Yorkshire
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.
West Yorkshire is inland, around 40 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
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.
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 West Yorkshire: 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.
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.
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.
