Black Grid Shower Door and Screen - Reading

This striking black grid shower door and screen installation adds industrial elegance to a bathroom in Reading. Featuring ultra clear glass framed with a precision-crafted brushed black grid pattern, this bespoke shower enclosure was specially designed to accommodate a sloped ceiling while providing practical functionality.

Elegant Grid Design

The closed shower door showcases our attention to detail with perfectly equal 30mm grid lines. This symmetrical pattern creates a striking architectural feature that complements the dark green tiles and white shower tray.

For this project, we designed an inline configuration with a door and fixed panel using our custom design approach. The brushed black anodised finish provides an elegant matte appearance that resists fingerprints whilst adding contemporary style.

Precision Crafted Frame Details

This close-up view reveals the careful attention to detail in our frame construction. The middle bars protrude 7mm from the glass surface, creating subtle dimension and visual interest from every angle.

The shower enclosure features an L-shaped handle integrated into the frame design, providing both functionality and maintaining the clean aesthetic. The ultra clear 4+4mm toughened and laminated glass ensures maximum safety.

Thoughtful Design Adaptations

With the door partially open, you can see how we adapted the design for this bathroom's lower height. We intentionally removed the overhead horizontal bar that typically spans across our framed doors to accommodate the sloped ceiling.

Note the practical 7mm threshold that runs along the shower tray, providing additional water retention while maintaining easy access. This detail exemplifies our approach to balancing aesthetics with functionality in every installation.

Practical Interior Design

With the door fully open, you can see that we designed the enclosure with grid bars only on the exterior side. This thoughtful detail makes the shower exceptionally easy to clean with a squeegee, as there are no interior frames to navigate around.

This is one of our earlier installations, and we've since further refined our frame design with improved seals and profile shapes. Our commitment to continuous improvement ensures each black grid design project benefits from our evolving expertise.

How Long for Black Grid Shower Door and Screen Installation?

Satin black finishes require precise powder coating and curing processes. Your Black Grid Shower Door and Screen production timeline ensures perfect matte consistency.

📋 Multiple Items: Each additional shower enclosure may extend Design, Assembly, and Installation by approximately 1 working day. However, orders of 5+ units benefit from streamlined production processes that reduce per-unit time. We'll provide an optimized timeline for your specific project.

Timeline Considerations for This Project

  • This black grid enclosure requires brushed black anodising. We keep only satin black in stock, so when brushing is needed we must create a bespoke finish. Selecting satin black would save considerable time and could be slightly more cost-effective.

Tiling Not Ready

Extended Timeline

Your walls need tiling. We'll take initial measurements for visualization, start frame production early, then return for final measurements once tiling is complete.

💡 Flexible Timeline: The waiting period begins after frame production (day 6) and varies based on your tiling schedule. If your tiling is completed during our frame production period, we can arrange the final measurements earlier and advance the entire schedule - moving final measurements, design adjustments, glass production, assembly, and installation to start as early as day 5 (right after design confirmation). The total timeline shows the minimum 20 working days if tiling is ready when frames are done.
