Three reasons to change your shower screen
Posted on: 28 October 2020
If you find that your bathroom is starting to look shabby or appears to be dark or unwelcoming, then it is important to brighten it up as soon as you can. You spend more time than you might think in the bathroom and having a smart, well-appointed room as the first place you visit in the morning can help to improve your mood and set you up well for the day ahead. One of the first things that you should consider changing is your shower screen.
Why do shower screens matter?
If you look around your bathroom, then you might think that the shower screen is not the most significant part of the bathroom, but you would be surprised what an impact a new shower screen can have on the appearance of the room. To have the right effect, you must choose the most suitable type of shower screen for your room. To help you make the best choice, here are three of the most common types of shower screen with an explanation of how each of them can improve the appearance of your bathroom.
Why not try sliding shower screens?
In many homes, the bathroom is the smallest and most cramped room in the house. If you fit a shower screen that opens outwards into the room, then the sense of cramped environment is only exacerbated. By contrast, sliding shower screens, or those that fold back on themselves, allow you to shower without taking up excess room inside the bathroom.
Consider the advantages of partially framed shower screens
Traditionally, shower screens were contained in an aluminium frame. These frames helped to provide rigidity to the screen and prevent damage which could occur through regular family use. The problem for many homes is that the confined space available in the bathroom can make a framed shower appear bulky and overbearing. By opting for a partially framed shower screen, you will be able to retain much of the rigidity of a framed screen without all of the bulkiness.
Could you benefit from an unframed shower screen?
If the lack of light is the biggest problem in your bathroom, then an unframed shower screen could be the answer you have been looking for. By fitting an unframed glass screen, you allow the maximum amount of light to pass through the screen and create a much-needed sense of space in even the tiniest environment.
