Refurbishing a bathroom is an important decision for every client and therefore the glazing choice should be considered very carefully.

Here is our guide on some aspects to the bathroom that may be important to your customer and how glass fittings can help utilise the space successfully:

  • Space: Ask the customer to measure the room accurately and sketch out some ideas. They should think about the available space and what is needed within it. 

  • Layout: This is a critical phase in their planning.  They should think practically, to make sure the bathroom will achieve everything they need it to.  The shower is usually one of the largest aspects of any bathroom, so it is important to explain their options thoroughly:
    • Frameless Systems - This contemporary and minimalist design choice is very popular.  Using a combination Glazing Channels, Hinges, Support Bars, and Shower Seals it can result in an increased sense of space, maximising sightlines to important design choices such as tiling and splashback
    • Sliding Systems - These can be installed into almost every bathroom, most commonly in spaces with limited space.  
    • Lighting: Natural light will be important to your customer, glass will of course help natural light to spread around the room.

  • Design Scheme & Colours: Our range of components can be supplied in various finishes to match your customers design choice, including:
    • Polished Chrome & Satin Chrome - Still the most popular and commonly installed shower hardware.
    • Black - Perfect for creating sleek, contemporary looking installations
    • Polished Brass and Antique Brass - For traditional style bathrooms
    • LoftStyle Shower Enclosures - Increasingly popular and modelled on Crittall Windows, our range of hardware can replicate this industrial, ‘New York Apartment’ style with excellent results.

  • Fixtures: Ask your customer to consider and choose the finishing touches in advance. Glazing products should form a big part of this detail, including:
    • Mirror Fixings - Mirrors are an essential part of any bathroom and can be installed in various ways including J Trims, Mirror Screws, plus Other Installation Methods.
    • Demista Pads for Mirrors - A perfect way to impress your clients and let them get the most out of their bathroom space.
    • Towel Bars - Various towel bars, which are installed directly onto the pre-drilled glass shower screens are available from stock
    • Glass Shelving Brackets - We have a fantastic range of designs and colours, each of which will complete your glass installation.
