Nail the trend: Seamless shower screens

A continuing trend for bathrooms, the seamless shower screen is one which shows no signs of slowing down and it remains a popular choice for wet rooms and shower enclosures. Also referred to as frameless screens, seamless shower screens are just that – they offer a seamless aesthetic because they don’t have a frame like traditional shower doors.

The resulting look is one which will add a contemporary style to your interior and which will enhance your bathroom in a variety of ways.

Seamless shower and wet room screens help to make interiors appear more spacious.

Benefits of frameless shower panels

If you’re considering a seamless or frameless shower screen – or are unsure as to why you might want to get one – then it’s good to know their key features and what they can add to your home.

• Sturdier screens: Made entirely from glass and without a surrounding frame, seamless shower screens might seem as if they would be less robust than their frameless cousins, but they are, in fact, very sturdy. Indeed, being made from specially tempered and reinforced safety glass, seamless screens are thicker than traditional screens to make up for the fact that they don’t have that supporting frame.
  At Bathshack, our frameless shower and wet room screens are generally 8mm thick, while ordinary framed screens are usually around 6mm thick. As a result, they’re able to withstand daily use and general wear and tear, as well as being ideal for using with high-pressure power showers.
• Easy to clean: Without the addition of a frame, seamless shower screens are much easier to clean and most of our range is treated with AquaShield Glass Coating, which forms a protective barrier on the glass. This prevents dirt and residue from adhering to the surface, keeping the glass clearer for longer and reducing the frequency of cleaning.
• Spacious look: Installing a seamless shower screen will immediately open up your interior, making it appear bigger than it actually is. With light allowed to flow uninterrupted through the room, this creates the illusion of more space, making it appear airier and more open.

• Highlights key features: With seamless shower and wet room screens giving your bathroom a more spacious vibe, they also make it more visible in its entirety, so you can enjoy the full effects of your décor without anything obscuring the view. This also has the effect of emphasising other key features within your bathroom. For example, it might draw more attention to marble tiling, for example, or a vanity unit.
• More motion: With framed screens, movement is more restricted, with the screen usually only opening outwards into the room. Seamless screens, however, can open as hinged pivot panels, swinging both inwards and outwards for a more flexible option.

Frameless shower screens can help draw attention to other key features within your bathroom, such as vanity units.

• Flexible style: Because seamless screens have no frames to colour-match with or to consider within your overall interior design, this makes them immediately more flexible in terms of styling. You can subsequently add them to any bathroom without worrying that they’ll look out of place, so they’re extremely versatile.
• Add style and glamour: Installing a seamless shower screen will instantly elevate your bathroom design, giving it a more stylish and glamourous look. So, if you’re looking for an easy way to add some sophisticated style to your interior, then this is a great way to do it.

The Hudson Reed Wet Room Screen and Support Bar in Brushed Brass is made from 8mm toughened safety glass and comes with an elegant brushed brass support bar.
