Frameless shower must knows!

Frameless shower must knows!

Frameless shower screens are popular for their solid and seamless design. However what you need to remember is that the design of your screens and shower rose are important considerations to prevent future disappointment with your shower screen leaking water all over your tiles! Frameless shower doors are supposed to have a small gap between the glass panel – this enables the door to open.

If you simply have your shower rose facing the fixed panel or wall where there are no gaps it’s less likely your screens will leak water. There are several other configurations to consider.

Check out the frameless shower page and design your shower with elegance and functionality for a long life solution.

Frameless showers are great to blend into heritage homes with gold plated hinges, or modern homes with chrome plated brass hinges.

PIPERS use only top shelf manufacturing processes to produce lasting hinges and we recommend stainless steel screws.

Frameless isn’t for everyone! It’s price tag is inevitable because of it’s bespoke hand crafted nature undergoing stringent production techniques before it reaches your door.

Pipers do however have lots of standard stock ready to go, although this may not suit everyone its a good idea to find out what sizes we have and work toward these measurements, lowering the cost of project.

When custom made however the glass is cut to suit your measurements i.e. walls and floors out of level, holes processed for hardware, polished edges and then toughened to become Australian standard A grade safety glass
