What shower partition to choose?

The trend for minimalism has even reached the bathroom. More and more people are consciously giving up on the classic cabin with doors and installing a shower partition instead. This creates an original walk-in shower cabin. It can be mounted in any conditions, working well both in large and small bathrooms. It is a minimalist element that can create a really interesting arrangement of this room. In other words, a shower partition is one of the hallmarks of a trendy, even Scandinavian minimalist bathroom!

What exactly is a shower partition?

Simply put, a shower partition is tempered glass mounted in an aluminium profile with a bracket. The partition can be installed directly on the bathroom floor tiles or on a shower tray. This creates a specific walk-in shower cabin, which means it does not have shower doors. The absence of doors that need space to open allows the shower glass to be installed anywhere, even in a corner of the room.

Shower partitions prove to be an excellent idea useful in small bathrooms, where there is no room for hinged glass doors. They successfully replace the classic shower cubicle. It's worth adding here that a walk-in shower cabin means greater accessibility for people with reduced mobility. A transparent glass often additionally positively influences the aesthetics of the interior. So, is it a practical, convenient, and aesthetic solution? Oh, definitely yes!

Are glass shower partitions safe?

While in the case of full cabins with doors few have doubts about the safety of their use, in the case of shower partitions questions arise. At the sight of the glass pane, some wonder what will happen if the tempered glass shower partition is shattered. Well, precisely the same thing that happens with any other tempered glass pane – it shatters into small pieces with blunt edges. So, it's a much, much safer material than some think!

Importantly, the likelihood of the tempered glass breaking during normal use of the shower is really minimal. More than that! The thickness of the tempered glass used for the production of shower partitions ensures maximum safety. The shower glass is a highly resistant panel to frequent temperature differences, the action of detergents, and accidental impacts during a shower. You can use it without any worries.

Easy cleaning of the shower partition

If you ever happened to painstakingly clean the deposits that appear on the walls and doors of a shower cabin, we guarantee you will like the technological solutions commonly used in the production of shower partitions. Most of the glass shower partitions available today are supplemented with an invisible-to-the-naked-eye easy clean coating (that's what the technology we use in our products is called), which makes cleaning the glass surface much faster.

The mentioned coating limits the formation of streaks, so soap or limescale deposits do not appear on the partition. Just rinse the partition with water post-shower and possibly wipe it with a soft cloth. This will keep the partition perfectly clean with minimal effort on your part.

What to remember when choosing shower partitions?

The most important thing not to forget when choosing a shower partition is the size of your bathroom. In the offers of bathroom solution manufacturers, we find shower partitions of various sizes, from really small ones that allow you to cover a small niche to very large shower panels that enable creating a spacious shower area. To ensure showering comfort in a small bathroom, it's worth building a cabin with a fixed side partition. Such a configuration allows you to optimally use every inch, which is especially important in small bathrooms.

All shower glasses are characterized by high durability, though they may differ in colour or degree of transparency. You can choose a variant where the tempered glass is matte decorated with various patterns or completely transparent. Choose such a glass variant that will make you feel comfortable while showering. For many, slightly milky, misted glass is a great idea, but there are, of course, no rules here.

As for shower partitions, you can mount the tempered glass panel directly on the floor or on a shower tray. When creating walk-in cabins, it's also worth considering the colour of the profile on which the shower partition will be placed. Nowadays, the market offers a really large selection of colour options; if you dream of gold or black fittings in your bathroom, you will surely find them with ease. This allows for easily matching the cabin to the bathroom decor.
