Workmanship & Preparation

How We Approach Shower Screens

The right shower screen completes your bathroom's visual lines while keeping water contained within the wet area. Because tiled walls and floors can have slight variations, every screen is measured after tiling is complete.

We install fixed walk-in frameless panels, 90-degree corner hinged enclosures, and smooth-gliding sliding shower screens across Melbourne, drilling cleanly through porcelain or stone tiles and sealing perimeters with mould-resistant clear silicone.

Included in Our Scope

  • Accurate site measure after tiling is complete for plumb wall alignment
  • Fixed walk-in frameless panels, hinged door sets, and sliding configurations
  • Secure mechanical fixing through tile into solid framing or masonry
  • Clean translucent silicone sealing along floor and wall channels

Common Questions

Shower Screen Installation FAQs

Should I choose a single walk-in glass panel or a full hinged enclosure?

A fixed walk-in panel is minimal and easy to clean when your shower recess is at least 1100mm to 1200mm long. For compact alcoves or close vanities, a hinged door or sliding screen prevents water splash outside the shower.

Can you remove and dispose of my old framed shower screen?

Yes. We carefully remove old aluminium frames, scrape away aged silicone residue from the tiles, and install the new screen cleanly.

How do you drill into hard porcelain tiles without cracking them?

We use diamond-tipped core bits with controlled cooling so holes for wall brackets and channels are cut cleanly through porcelain without chipping the glaze.

Can hardware finishes match my bathroom tapware?

Yes. Brackets, hinges, handles, and slimline channels are available in polished chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, gunmetal, and brushed brass.
