Frameless
Shower Screens
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.

Yes, in most cases shower screen, shower door and shower enclosure describe the same custom glass setup, just with different wording. A hinged or sliding glass door is one part of a wider shower screen, while enclosure is often used when the glass wraps around more of the shower box rather than sitting as a single fixed panel.

Whichever term you search for, the measuring and installation process is the same. We can talk through which layout, whether that is a single door, a sliding screen or a more enclosed glass box, will work best for your Northcote bathroom.

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.

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.

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.

Frameless shower screens are not fully sealed like some framed shower stalls, 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.

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.

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.

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.
