The generous opening allows for easy access, making it a luxurious addition to any space seeking to blend spaciousness with style.

Customisation

Regal Shower Screens takes pride in our ability to bring your unique vision to life.

Fixed Panel Shower Screens

In the world of modern bathroom design, the allure of simplicity cannot be overstated. Enter the fixed panel shower screen—a stylish and seamless option that transforms walk-in showers into open, airy sanctuaries.

Suitability

Fixed panel shower screens embody minimalism and ease of access, making them ideal for main bathrooms where sophistication meets functionality. Although their grandeur is best displayed in more spacious environments, this very characteristic accentuates the elegance of any main bathroom. However, due to their size and scale, ensuites may require a more compact solution, which is why our range is so diverse—to ensure every space can achieve its full potential.

Customisation

At Regal Shower Screens, we pride ourselves on our ability to customise fixed panel shower screens to fit not just the dimensions but the distinct style of your shower. Our expertise extends to various hardware and glass options, enabling a truly personalised look that complements your bathroom’s design theme. Whether you envision a bold statement piece or a subtle accent of luxury, our team works with meticulous attention to detail to bring your vision to life.

Framed Shower Screens

Framed shower screens stand as a testament to timeless design and enduring strength. Encompassed by a metal frame along every edge, these screens boast a traditional appeal that resonates with elegance and reliability.

Imagine stepping into a shower encased in sleek, polished frames that not only heighten the aesthetic value of your bathroom but also promise robustness. The metal framing ensures that every glass panel is securely held in place, providing a sturdy barrier that defies the test of time and frequent usage.

Suitability

Framed shower screens are ideal for any type of bathroom, especially main bathrooms, due to their unparalleled blend of affordability and resilience. Ideal for households bustling with daily activities, these screens are engineered to withstand the rigours of frequent use without compromising on style. Their economical price point does not detract from their quality, making them a wise choice for those seeking a balance of cost-efficiency and durability.

Customisation

In terms of customisation options, we imagine they’d be endless. But this all depends on the supplier. At Regal Shower Screens, we choose not to supply framed shower screens, as the introduction of semi-framed shower screens has surpassed the basic design of the framed shower screen. So, if you’re looking to add a touch of tradition with modern innovation, then semi-framed shower screens may be the perfect choice.

Conclusion

Choosing the right type of shower screen is more than a matter of function—it’s a declaration of style and a commitment to quality.
