Hinged bath shower screens prevent water from splashing onto the bathroom floor when you shower. The clever hinged design makes your shower bath more accessible since it can fold back, creating extra room to climb in and out. Bath screens come in a variety of finishes, including chrome, black and brass. Match the shower bath screen to the rest of your brassware for a cohesive look. Explore our collection of hinged bath shower screens below.

 
 

How do I choose the right width and height for a hinged bath shower screen?

Measure the open edge of your bath where the screen will sit and compare with the common widths shown here, most screens come in 800–899mm and 1000–1099mm ranges, with a few at 1200–1299mm and one compact 300–399mm option. Heights are largely 1400–1499mm, which is tall enough to stop splashes for typical showerheads; there are a couple of taller 1500–1599mm options if you have a high shower. For a standard straight bath an 800mm screen often fits well, while a larger showering area or P-shaped bath usually benefits from a 1000mm or 1200mm screen.

What are the practical differences between hinged, folding and fixed screens for everyday use?

Hinged screens (the majority here) swing or fold back to give a wide clear opening, so they’re great if you want easy step-in access and a neater look when not in use. Folding screens, such as the Hydrolux four- or five-panel options, collapse flat against the wall and save space in tighter bathrooms. A fixed panel is purely splash protection and won’t move, so use it where you don’t need access through the screen.

Which frame finish and glass style will suit my bathroom design?

Frames come in chrome, matt black and brushed brass, so match the frame to your taps and shower fittings for a cohesive look; a brass screen pairs beautifully with brass brassware, while black creates a modern, high-contrast feel. Glass options include clear, black glass and decorative grid patterns; clear keeps the room bright, grid glass adds pattern and hides water spots, and black glass increases privacy and drama.

Does glass thickness matter and which thickness should I choose?

Yes, most screens here use 6mm glass for a stiffer, more substantial feel and minimal flex, especially on larger screens; there are also 4mm and a couple of 5mm options for lighter or folding designs. If you want a robust, long-lasting screen on an 800–1200mm width, 6mm is the sensible choice, while 4mm suits compact or multi-panel folding screens where weight and hinge stress are factors.

Can I get a hinged screen to fit curved or P-shaped baths?

Definitely, there are curved edge and P-shaped screens included in our range specifically for curved shower baths and P-shaped baths, plus L-shape options for corner baths. you can pick a Ceramica P-shaped screen in 720mm or a curved-edge Luxura screen in 800–1000mm to match a curved bath profile, ensuring the screen follows the bath shape and keeps water contained.
