Information Sheet on Installing Fitting a Shower Screen


We’re talking the glass / plastic jobs that sit on the top edge of the bath or on the floor if you have a walk in affair aren’t we? Not shower curtains, whose primary use is to provide new and exciting cultures for 4th form science lessons. I was in a “Holiday Lodge” the other week, it had a shower curtain. I forgot it was there, backed into it and screamed in clammy horror. I thought the Grim Reaper had draped his cloak over my back.

Screens then…Whether bath top or floor standing; permanent or folding or hinged, the fixing process is the same for them all.
