Shower Screens Guide

Shower Screen Glass: What You Need to Know

Whether you're replacing a tired shower enclosure or fitting out a new bathroom, choosing the right glass for your shower screen makes a real difference to how it looks, feels and lasts. This guide covers the essentials — glass types, thicknesses, edge finishes and protective coatings.

Why Toughened Glass?

All glass used in shower screens must be toughened safety glass — it’s a legal requirement. Our shower screen glass is toughened to BS EN 12150.

Choosing the Right Thickness

  • 8mm toughened — most popular for framed and semi-frameless
  • 10mm toughened — premium feel for frameless walk-in showers

Glass Options

  • Clear — most popular
  • Low iron — colourless finish
  • Frosted — privacy

Easy-Clean Coating

We offer Ritec ClearShield — a factory-applied coating that protects against limescale and watermarks.
