Small Bathroom Designs and Making Shower Screens Shine Out

Getting the right shower screen can’t only give your bathroom a sense of space but also a great amount of elegance. A fully designed shower screen is truly beautiful and sparkling material to include in your bath area. If you have a nice home, you should consider getting the best shower screen not only for your family but also to your visitors who love to stay around your luxurious home. However for small bathroom designs, getting the best shower screen may do a bit of obstruction on space and position. A shower screen apart from its huge size and structure is also heavy and can be demanding in maintenance. If you are considering of getting one, here some of the important factors you may need to check upfront:

1. Do you have enough floor space to accommodate a shower screen? If not, then forget about getting one as it would only be a waste of time unless you plan to reconstruct your bathroom and extend its size. A shower screen size may range from 785 x 785mm up to 985 x 885mm. Check your available shower and the space around the enclosure as they can affect your choice of shower screen. Right after you have secured the area, you may do complete clearing so the space will be up and ready for the installation. 

2. Do you know what type of shower screen to purchase? Shower screen materials have advanced over time. The market has overflowing number of shower screens that are perfect for both small and large bathrooms. Traditional bulky bath shower enclosure is a thing of the past. Many people today are replacing their old shower screen with frameless options. Frameless shower screens don’t have metal frame for support so you only see clean and clear glass. This type of material gives you an illusion of spaciousness in a small room. Latest shower screen designs include:

• ·         L-shaped to bi-fold screens

• ·         Quadrant to sliding screens

If you have a corner shower, bi-fold would be a perfect option.  L-shaped shower screens are composed of 2 glass panels that are connected in the middle from the corner of the bathroom. For small bathrooms, this can be a good choice while quadrant frameless shower screen design helps to create largest shower space in small bathrooms.

 3. Have you picked the perfect shower screen design? Shower screens have various designs to fit your current spending plan. Among the most popular designs include: corner, fixed partition, U-shaped, rectangular and wall-to-wall. If you want to be more unique, you may have your shower screen personalized for you. 

4. Do you know what type of glass to use? Another thing to consider would be the type of shower screen glass. There are several glass materials that composed a shower screen. Available these days are clear, tinted, frosted, sandblasted and tempered glass. If you have a smaller space, you may use clear glass to make the bathroom area appear bigger. Just a warning though, clear glass offers less amount of privacy as it gives the outside a view of you. If you aren’t comfortable with this, then frosted glass may be your best alternative. 

Cleaning Tips:

It is important to maintain your shower screen’s cleanliness. Here’s how:

Right after every use; wipe the surface with clean cloth to avoid the build up of moisture that can feed bacteria and other harmful organisms. If you are concerned with glass maintenance, frameless shower screens are very easy to maintain as they have no space for soap and dirt to get around. 

Remember that small bathroom designs are elegant and functional. And through keeping the mentioned pointers in mind, you are a step closer to enjoying the most beautiful bathroom in your town.
