Shower Screen Buying Checklist for Australian Bathrooms

Measure openings and compare shower screen types before choosing panels, doors or hardware.

Measure the finished opening

• Measure width at the bottom, middle and top because walls may not be perfectly square.
• Use finished tile-to-tile dimensions, not old plans or rough framing dimensions.
• Check height against ceilings, bulkheads and shower rail positions.

Choose the opening style

• Sliding screens help when there is limited door swing space.
• Hinged doors need clear space outside the shower and should avoid hitting vanities or toilets.
• Fixed panels create a clean look but need enough length to control splash.

Confirm hardware and installation

• Match hardware finish to tapware if you want a consistent bathroom palette.
• Check adjustment range, glass thickness and fixing requirements.
• Have your installer review waterproofing and fixing points before ordering.

Before you buy
