Shower screens are dividers that are attached to or in a personal bath. You can install such a partition in the bathroom and thus get a full-fledged shower cabin, or install a partition to prevent water from splashing from the bath throughout the bathroom.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a shower screen?

First of all, you need to pay attention to the design features, and in particular to its fastenings. In addition, sashes can be stationary, movable or combined, it all depends on the preferences and needs of the buyer, the features and dimensions of the place where they will be installed. For example, showers swing doors- one of the options for a movable shower screen.

Another very important point that you should pay attention to when choosing a partition is its tightness. After all, the main task of such devices is not to let water into unnecessary places, and if the glass curtain is not completely sealed, water leakage cannot be avoided.

You need to understand what kind of design you need: a shower screen for a bathroom or for a shower cabin. Partitions for a shower cabin are attached to the cabin itself and serve as an entrance to it. As for the bath, in this case the design serves as a zone separator or prevents water from entering outside the bath. The partition is attached either to the bathtub or to the wall, therefore, when buying a bathroom, you need to pay attention to the width of its sides (you cannot install the structure on thin sides), as well as to the dimensions of the bathroom itself, if you plan to install partitions for the entire length.

When choosing, it is also important to pay attention to the material from which the structure is made, because each material has certain properties, Advantages and disadvantages.

Types of materials for shower partitions

1. Showers are one of the most popular. glass partitions. The main advantage of hardened doors is safety and long service life. In modern glass shower screens, thick glass of 0.8-1 cm is used, which is really difficult to break. However, even if this was done, such glass crumbles into fragments with blunt edges, so such designs are quite safe. In addition, these products look very stylish and expensive, they can be decorated with various drawings and engravings. Their main disadvantage is that they are more expensive than similar products made from cheaper materials.
2. Many consumers today prefer to choose showers partitions made of plastic. These partitions have advantages, among which one can note a fairly long service life (up to 10 years), good heat and sound insulation, low weight, which adds convenience to their installation. Their main advantage is that they are relatively inexpensive. Main disadvantage plastic structures- under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, the plastic loses its appearance. However, most often there are no windows in the bathrooms, so the rays of the sun do not fall on the structure.
3. What you should pay attention to is the showers. polycarbonate partitions. They are very similar in appearance to glass products, but much lighter in weight and much easier to install. This is a great solution for a bath or shower in an apartment or house.

Shower screens are indispensable in any bathroom. Standard bath screens have long lost their relevance, giving way to stylish and practical shower doors that can be chosen for every taste.

Today in front of the owners standard apartments and individual buildings open up ample opportunities for the design of bathrooms and shower rooms. Partitions made of glass are incredibly popular due to aesthetic performance and technical specifications. They retain their parameters in their original form almost under the constant influence of moisture and temperature changes. They are not afraid of corrosion, biological and chemical substances. The main advantage of glass is its environmental safety. The article will focus on glass shower screens.

Glass is practical, helps to create original solution and makes it possible to correctly plan the shower corner, regardless of the available area. Partitions perfectly serve their purpose:

• delimit space;
• prevent splashing;
• hide a bathing person, which is especially important for shared bathrooms.

Ergonomics and practicality of glass shower screens

For the manufacture of enclosing structures, tempered glass with a thickness of 6-12 mm is used. Special thermal processing of raw materials endows the finished product with high physical and technical properties. Its strength exceeds that of ordinary glass by 5-10 times. Even if the canvas is broken, the absence of sharp edges on the fragments guarantees additional safety. In addition to this, the material has such advantages as:

• utility. Partitions are easy to clean, over time they do not become cloudy, do not turn yellow, do not become covered small scratches. Big variety detergents at an affordable cost facilitate the task of maintaining cleanliness;
• tightness. The metal profile together with silicone gaskets provide protection against possible moisture penetration outside the partition. The accessories are made of high quality materials, it retains an attractive appearance for a long time;

• versatility. Due to the transparency (full or partial), the partitions look great both in spacious bathrooms and modest shower rooms. Light weight and the ability to manufacture to individual sizes allows them to be mounted on the floor, bath bowl or tray;
• style. Thanks to modern technologies processing, the consumer has the opportunity to choose canvases by color and design. This material will create perfect harmony with any finish. Partitions from frosted glass give lightness and airiness, without burdening the often not too spacious rooms for this purpose.

Design features of glass bathroom partitions

The wide variety of glass-based solutions offered for bathrooms allow you to organize and decorate the available space with maximum benefit.

Enclosing partitions differ in many ways, the main ones will be discussed in more detail below.

For the manufacture of glass partitions, the following material is used:

• tempered glass partitions with high shock-resistant properties;
• triplex, which steadfastly withstands dynamic loads, when broken, the canvas is covered with cracks without breaking up into fragments;
• glass blocks, with the help of which a stationary screen wall is erected.

Partitions can be conditionally divided into frame and frameless.

• In the first case, the structures look weightless and almost invisible, which is especially important when organizing the space of small areas. However, they serve an aesthetic role rather than a practical one. Due to the lack of a profile, there is no need to talk about tightness.
• Frame structures, where the frame is made of metal, plastic and silicone, look reliable and solid. The profile prevents splashes from entering outside the shower area. If you additionally equip the zone with high-quality fittings and accessories, you will get a full-fledged cabin.

The disadvantage of frame systems is that dirt and moisture accumulate at the joints and often in the tracks themselves, as a result of which fungus and bad smell. If protective covering metal products will be broken, and this is a direct path to the formation of corrosion.

The shape of the partitions can be straight, angular, U-shaped and multifaceted. As a rule, glass edges are smooth. But since the material is easy to cut, its upper part can be made in the form of waves, arches, etc.

Cloths are installed:

• on the floor;
• on the pallet, forming a shower cabin;
• on the bath, replacing the standard curtains.

The aesthetic side of the issue

A glass partition, especially decorated with various methods, looks the most advantageous. Today, manufacturers offer, in addition to transparent and matte products, canvases processed with the following technique:

• toning in mass;
• fusing (stained glass);

• sandblasting;
• laser engraving;
• photo printing;
• painting with special paints.

Opening method

Partitions according to their purpose can be stationary and mobile, for example, on rollers. The latter option delimits the space and closes the bathing person, which is important for combined bathrooms.

Stationary structures are equipped with doors. According to the opening method, they are divided into 4 types, where each has its own characteristics and advantages.

Swinging glass partitions

• The design may consist of one or two canvases. Single-leaf opening outward (to the right and to the left). Double doors can work both at the entrance to the shower room and at the exit. Such a system of loops is considered reliable, it is not afraid of shocks and jerks and other dynamic loads.

• The hinged view of the doors should have room for maneuver. On their way there should be no obstacles in the form of pedestals, shells, washing machine and other furnishings. Therefore, if the room does not have a large quadrature, then it makes sense to choose a different system.

Sliding glass partitions

• In this case, the canvas moves along installed profiles through rollers. The main advantage sliding doors is that no additional space is required for operation.
• Modern technologies allow to make tracks various forms. Therefore, using a profile, you can create a rectangular, arcuate shower area. The more wings, usually from 1 to 4 pieces, the stronger the frame should be. During operation, strong jerks and sudden movements should be avoided.

Folding glass partitions

• Such a system also does not require much space. In action, it is somewhat similar to sliding doors. Here, too, a profile and rollers are used to move the glass panels. Each leaf has a separate loop. When folded, the canvases resemble a fan or accordion.

• When choosing rollers, preference should be given to products made of metal. They are more durable and do not wear out over time, unlike plastic ones and are not susceptible to corrosion, such as silumin products. Regular lubrication of the mechanisms will significantly extend the life of the entire system.

Rotating glass partitions

• Carousel doors are quite rare. Since for comfortable operation you will need a lot of free space. The canvas can move in any direction, forming 2 openings perpendicular to the frame.
• The width of the glass sheet is from 90 to 130 cm. From random rotation with an accidental push, the door is held by magnets fixed on the sides of the panels.

Installing a glass shower screen

Those who are faced with installation for the first time should not aim at designs of intricate shapes. It is better to start with a straight partition from one wall to another or with several edges.

Advice: a large number of corners can create sealing problems. If this structure is not part of a shower cabin, then the impermeability of the seams of great importance does not have.

measurements

• When it is planned to install a partition wall exactly from wall to wall and / or from floor to ceiling, then measurements should be taken with high precision. A mistake made will lead to an adjustment in the size of the glass sheet, in the worst case, you will have to make a new order for cutting.
• Measurements are best done not at two points (top and bottom). Unfortunately, the distance between the bases can vary dramatically for every 30 cm. Therefore, once again double-check the distance at least 5 points. These indicators will help to identify the presence of depressions and tubercles on the surfaces. After all, it is quite difficult to recognize them visually.
• For reliability, it is recommended to perform a design drawing with all the data obtained. Based on this information, the glass workshop will cut the material. At the end of the work, make sure that the parameters match, as well as the proper processing of the edges of the canvas.

Before installation

• Depending on the type of enclosing structure, it is necessary to purchase supporting elements that serve to support and guide the door. When choosing, check with the seller if height adjustment is possible, this parameter is important when installing sliding systems.
• You will also need special fasteners, clamps, hinges, stoppers, handles and other components for this type of structure. It is not worth saving accessories for glass partitions; failure at the wrong time or a spoiled appearance can easily ruin your mood.

Profile mounting

• Before fixing the frame, make sure that the height difference on the floor and / or ceiling does not exceed 10 mm per meter of the room. If you plan to install a profile on the walls, then this species work is done first.

• Using a level, draw a strictly vertical line. Next, points for fasteners are marked. If the lining is made of tiles, then first carefully break through its top layer. This is necessary so that when drilling holes, the enamel does not crack much.

Glass installation

• Self installation glass products not complicated, it is similar to the installation ordinary doors. An important point is the marking of holes for fittings and hinges if a hinged system is used. To connect several panels, special profiles and clips are used.
• A drill or screwdriver is suitable for making technological holes. Diamond-coated core bits will provide smoother edges, and the process itself is safer. Similar work can be done with conventional drills, here important point is their sharpness.
• First, the stationary parts are installed, then they move on to the moving parts. Fasteners are fixed tightly, but without special efforts so as not to pinch the glass. After hanging, the blade is adjusted for snug fit to other structural elements.

The process of installing glass partitions is not easy. However, the effort expended will pay off in the form of an unsurpassed result. Individual solution will make a rest room, some kind of relaxation out of a simple bathroom. After all, daily showering can be made more comfortable.
