Northcote bathrooms can vary a lot, from older period homes and compact ensuites through to renovated townhouses and newer apartment bathrooms. Because every opening is slightly different, a custom measured shower screen is usually the best way to get a clean result.
We install frameless shower screens in Northcote for homeowners, renovators and builders who want a simple glass layout that feels open, practical and easy to live with.
During the measure, we check the tile fall, wall alignment, fixing points, door clearance and nearby fixtures so the shower screen suits the actual bathroom, not just the plan.

How a Northcote shower screen project usually works
Most frameless shower screens are measured once the bathroom is tiled. That allows the glass to be made to the actual finished opening, instead of relying only on plans or rough measurements.
Bathroom is ready for measure
Final measurements are normally taken after wall tiles, floor tiles, hob tiles and niches are finished.
Layout is checked on site
We check tile fall, wall alignment, fixing points, door swing, nearby towel rails and any tight access points.
Glass and hardware are confirmed
The glass type, panel layout and hardware finish are confirmed before the shower screen is ordered.
Installation is completed
The screen is installed, aligned, sealed where required and checked so the door or panels sit correctly.
Nano glass coating for easier everyday cleaning
For Northcote clients who want to make ongoing maintenance easier, we can apply a protective Nano coating to the shower screen glass after installation.
The coating helps water, soap residue and mineral deposits bond less aggressively to the glass surface, making routine cleaning quicker and more manageable over time.
- Helps reduce water marks, soap build-up and staining
- Makes the glass easier to wipe down after use
- A practical upgrade for bathrooms used every day
- Best applied when the shower screen glass is new

Common questions before ordering a shower screen
A few practical things are worth checking before the glass is ordered, especially in renovated Northcote bathrooms where older walls, floor fall and nearby fixtures can affect the final shower screen layout.
Do you install frameless shower screens in Northcote?
Yes. We install custom frameless shower screens in Northcote and nearby inner-north suburbs including Westgarth, Thornbury, Fairfield, Preston, Brunswick, Clifton Hill and Coburg.
When should the shower screen be measured?
Final measure is usually done after the bathroom has been tiled. This gives the most accurate opening size and allows the glass to be made to suit the finished walls, floor, hob and tile lines.
You can still send photos, plans or rough measurements earlier so we can help check the layout before the bathroom is ready for final measure.
Can you replace an old framed shower screen without renovating the whole bathroom?
Often, yes. Many older bathrooms can be updated by removing the existing framed or semi-framed screen and replacing it with custom glass, as long as the tiles, waterproofing and fixing points are suitable.
A site check is important because older Northcote bathrooms are not always square, and the finished opening may need a custom measured solution rather than a standard screen.
What type of shower screen works best in a small bathroom?
It depends on the layout. A fixed walk-in panel can work well where there is enough shower length, while a sliding shower screen may suit spaces where a hinged door would clash with a vanity, toilet or towel rail.
For tighter corner layouts, a corner entry shower screen can also be practical because it gives usable access without needing a large outward door swing.
Do frameless shower screens leak?
Frameless shower screens are not fully sealed like some framed enclosures, so the layout matters. Tile fall, shower head position, door gaps, panel overlap and the distance from the shower rose all affect how well water is controlled.
During measure, we look at the finished bathroom and recommend a layout that gives the best practical balance between access, appearance and splash control.
Is low iron glass worth using?
Low iron glass can be a good option if the bathroom has light coloured tiles, natural stone, white grout or a softer architectural finish. It reduces the green tone seen in standard clear glass and gives the screen a cleaner look.
Standard clear glass is still a good choice for many bathrooms, but low iron glass is worth considering when the glass edge and overall clarity are part of the design.
Can I choose the glass and hardware finish?
Yes. Common glass choices include standard clear glass, low iron glass and narrow reeded glass.
Hardware options include chrome, matt black, brushed brass, brushed nickel and gunmetal. We can usually select a finish that closely matches your tapware, towel rails and accessories.
Can you work with older Northcote bathrooms?
Yes. Older homes often have walls, floors or hobs that are not perfectly square, which is why final site measurement is important. The glass is measured to suit the finished bathroom, not just the original plan.
This is especially important for walk-in panels, hinged doors and wall-to-wall screens where small differences in the finished opening can affect the final fit.
Need a frameless shower screen in Northcote?
Send through a few photos of the bathroom, rough opening sizes and your preferred hardware finish. We can usually give you a clear starting point and advise which shower screen layout will suit the space.
