What are the advantages of installing a glass bath screen?
Whether you have a standard bath, shower enclosure, or bath-and-shower combo, you'll need a waterproof barrier to stop water splashing out onto the bathroom floor and nearby furnishings.
- Increased water containment
Unlike shower curtains, which can allow streams and splashes to run over, a solid glass bath or shower screen is sturdy enough to stop water from ending up on the floor.
As well as increasing the risk of slips and falls, this can create long-term damage to flooring and furnishings.
- Easy access
Unlike a flimsy curtain, which can be pulled down or even stick unpleasantly to you once damp, the reversible panel of bath and shower screens can swing out of the way. Giving easy access and back into place again for protection when you need it.
Plus, as they are manufactured from toughened glass, even if there is an accident in the bathroom, they are unlikely to shatter and cause injury.
- Improved hygiene
Not only is it non-porous material, but easy-clean glass can also come with an optional extra coating to reduce deposit build-ups, making it easier to wipe them clean.
This also makes it much easier to keep your bath screen looking good and hazard-free for the duration of its lifespan.
- Longer lifespans
Outdated plastic curtains have been the go-to option for decades because they were low-cost, but this lower cost compromises the effectiveness, quality, and lifespan of curtains.
Unlike fabric shower curtains, glass bath screens are tough and reliable enough to last for a long time without requiring much maintenance – so it’s simple to keep the bathroom clean and usable for years to come.
- Maintained light flow
Light, bright bathrooms are safer and help spaces to feel more open. Allow light to pass freely from one corner to the next with a transparent glass bath screen.
- Customisation options
Choose from a range of hinge finishes, including brushed or polished brass, brushed or polished silver chrome, or matte black for the ultimate modern contrast.
Are glass bath screens ideal for a family home?
As long as the correct type of glass is used and the specifications meet UK safety standards and Building Regulations, it is perfectly safe to use glass bath screens in family homes.
To ensure you’re choosing the safest option, check for:
- 6 – 8mm toughened glass usage, which will break into small blunt pieces instead of sharp shards in the unlikely event of breakage.
- Sturdy, corrosion-resistant, and correctly installed hardware for pivoting or folding screens.
- Compliance with BS EN 12150 – which is the European safety standard for toughened safety glass.
- Further compliance with Building Regulations Approved Document K (Protection from falling, collision and impact) and Document M (accessibility) for extra peace of mind.
All glass bath screens from EGW can meet the safety requirements for use with the youngest and oldest members of the family – as well as pets – without concern!

Glass Bath Screen FAQs
How thick should a bath screen be?
Our glass bath screens are typically made from 8mm toughened safety glass, providing strong, splash-resistant structures that are safe and stylish.
6mm toughened glass is also available, if you are looking for a lighter and more affordable option for smaller screens.
Contact us if you have any questions about bath screen sizing and which is best for you!
Which bath screen size do I need to protect my bathroom floor?
Bath screens are shorter than glass shower screens, as they are typically fitted above the bath. To work out which size bath screen you should order, you must measure the area where you want to install it carefully.
If you can, get another person to help you and check the measurements a few times to make sure they're as accurate as possible.
- First, remove any objects or obstructions from the area, then use a measuring tape to measure from the edge of the bath up to where you want the panel to stop.
This will give you the height (the standard height of our bath screens is 1500 mm).
- Next, measure from the wall that the panel hinges will be fitted to along the bath edge to the end point of where you want the toughened safety glass panel to cover.
This will give you the width (the standard widths available are 600 mm, 700 mm, 800 mm, or 900 mm).
- It's a good idea to re-take the measurements from a few different points, both height-wise and width-wise, and draw a basic diagram recording these details.
This will provide the most accurate idea of which of our bath screen sizes will be suitable, while also helping you to determine the right glass thickness and shape.
- Be sure to measure the surrounding areas as well, taking any nearby features into account.
This ensures there will be enough space to pull the panel open and back into place over the side of the bathtub without any obstructions, for example, a towel rail on the wall. When positioned next to the tub, these accessories could pose a risk when swinging the hinged panel open, because even toughened safety glass can break from a concentrated impact.
What is the best style for bath screens?
If you're looking for stylish bath screens to suit a traditional bath shape, we have the ideal standard bath screens here at EGW.
Not only do they use high-quality materials like toughened safety glass, but they also come with adjustable hinges for easy alignment, in a colour and finish of your choice.
Additional benefits include:
- A variety of sizes you can choose from to suit your space
- A feeling of modern luxury thanks to the visual illusion of a brighter and larger open space – a must-have in contemporary bathrooms.
- Metal hinges for flexibility when moving the panel back and forth, making it easier to climb in and out of the bathtub and clean the bathroom without hassle.
- A choice of hinge styles, including matt black, brushed or polished chrome, and brushed or polished brass.
Will your hinged glass screens fit any bath?
We have multiple glass bath screen widths to suit a range of bath sizes, so there should be an ideal standard fit for most baths that can accommodate a vertical rectangular panel.
These include:
- 600 x 1500mm
- 700 x 1500mm
- 800 x 1500mm
- 900 x 1500mm
However, we know that not everyone's baths or bathrooms are standard shapes or sizes – some may have irregular walls, ceilings, windows, or doors that affect the way a hinged glass screen can fit into the bath area and move back and forth safely.
That's why we'll always do our best to meet your needs if you contact EGW to request a bespoke bath screen for your unique dimensions and get a personalised quote.
