Folding Bath Screens

Measure the flat rim of your bath where the screen will sit from the wall to the end of the rim; the screens here come in roughly 1000mm and 1200mm widths. A 1000mm screen suits most standard baths where you only need coverage for the shower area, while 1200mm gives broader splash protection and is offered as a five‑panel model so it folds more compactly. if you have a 1700mm bath and want the screen to cover most of the shower end, the 1200mm gives better coverage without reaching the full length.

The main difference is panel width when folded and extended: five panels are narrower, so a 1200mm five‑panel screen folds flatter and takes up less space against the wall, whereas a four‑panel 1000mm screen has wider panels and a simpler fold. Both styles use 4mm glass and the same sturdy hardware, so the choice is about how compact you want the folded screen and how much coverage you need when it's open. If you need maximum freedom of movement beside the bath, a five‑panel 1200mm is a good pick.

Yes. These Hydrolux folding screens use 4mm toughened safety glass, which is the standard thickness for many bath screens because it balances strength with lighter panels for smooth folding action. Thinner than some enclosure glass, it places less stress on hinges and still meets safety norms; if you have very rough use you might handle it more gently, but for everyday family showers it performs reliably. The products also carry strong customer ratings, reflecting consistent durability.

Choose chrome if you prefer a classic, reflective look that coordinates with traditional taps and bright tiles; it also tends to blend with most bathroom fittings. Pick matt black to create a modern, high‑contrast statement that pairs well with monochrome tile schemes or industrial touches. Both finishes are available in the same sizes and panel counts, so match the finish to your existing brassware or the mood you want to create.

A folding screen gives you the protection of an enclosure when you shower but folds away to allow easy access for bathing, cleaning or helping children, which is ideal in smaller bathrooms. You get build quality comparable with full enclosures from brands like Hydrolux at a lower price, plus a smooth, simple fold‑out action. If you want occasional shower use without losing bath access, a folding screen is the practical choice.
