Advanced Glass Technology For Bathrooms

Frameless shower screens Perth products are among the bathroom fixtures that are

not only functional but also significantly contribute to the aesthetic appearance of the bathroom. The various technological advances in glass manufacturing have made it possible to construct safe and durable frameless shower screens at affordable prices.

Inner sanctum

The bathroom is arguably the most private part of a house. It is an inner sanctum where privacy is most important and respected. This is not surprising if one will consider the fact that many of the truly private activities and daily rituals (biological or otherwise) of most persons are done in the comfort and sanctuary of the bathroom. On the other hand, the tidiness and hygienic aspects of a house as well as the people living in it can be be somewhat judged by the functionality, cleanliness and aesthetics of the bathroom.

The safety of tempered glass

When it comes to bathroom glass fixtures, safety is also a primary consideration. Customers should ensure that the bathroom glass products they are buying and allowing to be installed are not only functional and aesthetically attractive but also safe in terms of toughness and shatter pattern.

Safety is the main reason why frameless shower screens Perth products are undergo special manufacturing technique that involves higher temperature to make them tempered. Glass manufactured in this manner are meant to be four to five times tougher than ordinary glass. The high temperature treatment and other additives create molecular glass structure that shatters into pebble-like oblong pieces when sufficient pressure or impact is applied.

The complete shattering of tempered glass into many small and oblong pieces make it less likely to cause injuries. The tempered glass that is used in making frameless shower screens are usually 10mm in thickness, which is a bit thicker than standard glass. It is also highly resistant to heat, making it ideal for bathrooms that have water heaters. Tempered glass do not easily break even when subjected to temperature fluctuations.

Shower screen designs

Aside from the simple single-glass screen design, shower screens are also available in fully-enclosed designs that include the box type and the cylindrical type. These fully-enclosed designs also have sliding doors for easy access. The glass can be frosted, clear or colored.

Aside from tempered glass, shower screens are also sometimes constructed from Poly(methyl methacrylate) or acrylic glass. This material is more flexible and resistant to shattering compared to glass. When it is subjected to force or impact, it may only bend or become dented instead of cracking. However, the main disadvantage of this material is that it is not very resistant to temperature fluctuations.
