Choosing a bath screen
to go over your bath |
| |
| A common alternative to fitting a shower enclosure
and tray is to install the shower over your existing bath, and
provide a bath screen or curtain that is compatible for the
shower. Screens tend to be more hygienic and efficient than
a shower curtain. Power showers generally require a ridged screen,
as curtains tend to be less effective with showers that give
a high forceful flow rate.
Baths must have a flat rim and should be installed with the
top edge horizontal. Any water that collects around the taps
should drain into the bath. The bath screen must be fitted
above the inside edge of the bath so it acts as a deflector
and guides the shower spray into the bath. Once fixed to the
wall you will need to apply a suitable silicone sealant to
the outer edge of the wall channel. The screen may leak if
you do not comply with the above.

Frameless over-bath screens
Frameless over-bath screens come in a variety of shapes and
glass designs. Hinged to the wall they offer better protection
than the shower curtain though they may look over powering
in a small bathroom.
