Folding Shower Screen for Bath

This London project features a clever folding shower screen that transforms a bathtub into a shower when needed. The screen's unique wall-recessed design means it completely disappears when bath time calls, yet provides full splash protection during showers. It's a perfect example of how our specialist design work can maximize both form and function in a small space.

Recessed Folding Design

Our client's bathroom featured a prebuilt wall recess. We carefully measured this space and designed a folding shower screen to fit it perfectly. When not needed, the screen folds away flush with the wall.

This dual-purpose space lets our client enjoy both relaxing baths and refreshing showers without compromise. The folding screen springs to life only when needed, making this a truly smart bathroom feature.

Seamless Integration

The screen pairs beautifully with the light crème microcement walls, which create a warm, waterproof finish throughout. We matched the brushed nickel hinges to the shower controls for a cohesive look.

Notice how the screen sits perfectly level with the red bath surround. This precision fitting ensures water stays inside the shower area when the screen is unfolded, while maintaining clean lines across the bathroom.

Smart Material Choices

The 10mm acid-etched glass provides privacy without blocking light. We placed the textured side facing outward toward the bathroom, keeping the smooth inner side easier to clean with our standard easy-clean coating.

The frameless design makes the screen feel light and airy despite its solid construction. Small self-adhesive seals on the bottom edge work perfectly with the level bath surface to prevent leaks.

Perfect When Unfolded

When fully opened, the folding shower screen creates a complete water barrier next to the bath. The screen height aligns perfectly with the shower area, preventing splashes without feeling enclosed.

Our shower screens are always sized to match the space perfectly. Here, the height balances splash protection with ventilation, ensuring the microcement walls stay dry and well-maintained.

Minimal Hardware

The brushed nickel fixtures are both functional and beautiful. We use only high-quality hinges that can support the weight of 10mm glass while allowing smooth folding action year after year.

The minimalist hardware keeps the focus on the clean lines of the glass and microcement. When the door is open, the fixtures sit neatly against the wall, maintaining the bathroom's clean, uncluttered look.

Precision Engineering

Every folding shower screen we create is measured and fitted with millimeter precision. This accuracy ensures the screen moves smoothly, seals effectively, and fits perfectly into its wall recess.

The frosted glass offers privacy while still allowing light to flow through the space. It's a practical choice that adds a soft, diffused quality to the bathroom lighting while hiding shower products and water spots.

💡 Flexible Timeline: The waiting period begins after design confirmation (day 4) and varies based on your tiling schedule. If your tiling is completed during this early period, we can arrange the final measurements earlier and advance the entire schedule - moving final measurements, design adjustments, glass production, and installation to start as early as day 5. The total timeline shows the minimum 15 working days if tiling is ready when design is confirmed.
