Shower screen for bathtub

A shower screen for bathtub is an ideal solution for bathrooms where you want the option of both showering and bathing without water splashing all over the room.

How to choose a shower screen for bathtub?

Choosing the right shower screen for bathtub can not only make bathroom maintenance easier, but also enhance its modern look. We’ve put together a few key points to help you choose the right shower screen for bathtub.

OUR TIP: Before deciding on a shower screen for bathtub, take a look at the shape of your bathtub and measure its dimensions. Also check where and how high the bath tap is installed. This is especially important so you can comfortably fold or open the screen (if you choose a folding shower screen for bathtub).

Type of shower screen for bathtub

Shower screens for bathtub are divided into several types according to their construction. A fixed shower screen for bathtub is permanently attached to the edge of the bathtub. It offers a simple, minimalist solution and is suitable for bathrooms with limited space. A more practical option is a pivot bath screen, which can swing open to the side, making access to the bath easier and simplifying cleaning.

Another popular choice is the folding bath screen, made up of several panels that can be folded or unfolded as needed. This type is very flexible and ideal for interiors with limited space. An additional option is the sliding bath screen, which moves along rails and allows easy opening and closing without having to manipulate the entire space above the bathtub.

There are also differences in the number of panels. Fixed and pivot bath screens are usually single-panel. Folding, hinged, and sliding bath screens can be two part bath screen or three and multi part bath screens.

Choosing the right type of shower screen for bathtub depends on the size and shape of your bathroom, as well as your preferences for ease of use.

Shower screen for bathtub size

Size is an important factor when choosing a shower screen for bathtub. The screen should fit perfectly on the edge of the bathtub and cover enough area to prevent water from escaping while showering. Choose the height not only according to the size of your bathroom, but also based on the tallest member of the household. For standard bathtubs, the optimal screen height is around 140–150 cm, although taller models are also available.

If you have a longer bathtub or shower in its central area, you may consider a longer screen for better coverage. On the other hand, for a smaller bathtub, a more compact screen may be more practical.

Shower screen for bathtub design

Shower screens for bathtub are available in various styles and designs to match the design of your bathroom. You can choose between framed and frameless shower screens for bathtub. Framed bath screens are usually more stable and more affordable. You can also choose from several colours and match your shower screen for bathtub with your bath tap or other bathroom fittings. Our range includes white, chrome, and black bath screens.

Frameless bath screens are especially popular in modern bathrooms, as they look minimalist and elegant. The glass panels are attached using discreet hinges or brackets that do not disrupt the clean look of the bathroom.

Infill material of shower screen for bathtub

When it comes to shower screens for bathtub, you can choose from two infill materials. Glass bath screens look elegant and are made of tempered safety glass; they can be clear, frosted, or tinted. Patterned glass infills are also popular. A more affordable option is plastic bath screens, which are lightweight and easy to clean. They can also be clear or feature a decorative motif.

SANITINO TIP: Want to make cleaning your shower screen for bathtub easier? Choose a bath screen with a special surface treatment. Water droplets don’t stick to the glass but run off easily, so after use you only need to wipe the glass with a microfibre cloth.
