Shower screens come in a range of sizes and designs these days and truly amazing things can be done to lift the look of your bathroom. Whether you have a small or a large space, an experienced glass fitter can install a beautiful shower screen that provides privacy, functionality and a great visual finish. But how big should the shower screen actually be? Read on to find out. 

Getting the perfect fit

How big your shower screen needs to be will depend on the size of your bathroom and how much space you have to play with. For small areas, you’ll want something that doesn’t take up an excessive amount of room and looks fantastic at the same time. On the other hand, if you have plenty of space available, you can choose to go with something a bit bigger, be it a fully framed, frameless or semi-frameless design. Keep in mind that most shower screens come in a standard size ranging from 66 to 140 cm in width and 100 to 210 cm in terms of height. However, it is possible to get a custom design to suit a unique space. Regardless of which road you go down, be sure to measure accurately and you’ll be best positioned to choose a great shower screen for your home.  

Things to consider

While getting a great fit is important, there’s also several other factors to consider when it comes to choosing the best shower screen. The first being overall cost, as certain designs are more expensive than others. For instance, a semi-frameless shower screen fitted with clear standard glass can be an affordable option for many homeowners, while a frameless, tinted design can end up costing a lot more. You’ll also want to choose something that requires minimal cleaning, like an acrylic or frosted design. Don’t forget that a key requirement of all shower screens is that they meet Australian safety standards and use Grade A safety glass.
