Loft Bath Screen - London
Frameless · 10 mm Ultra Clear Glass · Brushed Nickel
This loft bath screen is one of two mirrored installs fitted in adjacent en-suites of the same London house. Each frameless glass panel is cut with a CNC notch to fit around a boxed-out wall topped with a corian shelf, and a hinged section swings out for easier bath access under the sloped ceiling.

01 · Blue Mosaic Bathroom
Frameless bath screen fitted under the sloped loft ceiling
This is the first of two bath screens we fitted in adjacent loft bathrooms of the same London house. The blue mosaic en-suite sits on one side of the property; a purple mosaic en-suite of identical layout mirrors it on the other side. Both share the same install — frameless screen, brushed nickel hardware, CNC-cut notch around the boxing — flipped left to right between the rooms.
A boxed-out section of the side wall runs along the basin and WC zone, concealing the WC cistern and plumbing inside, with a slim corian shelf forming its cap. The brief required the top of our glass to align with the top of the mirror cabinet above the basin, so the screen height is set to that line and the notch in the glass cuts neatly around the boxing and the corian above it.
02 · CNC Cut
Notched cut shapes the glass around the corian-topped boxing
The notch isn't a single rectangle. It steps around the boxing first, then takes a second smaller cut where the corian shelf protrudes a few millimetres beyond the wall face. Both edges are machined on a CNC table — hand-cutting two interior corners to the tolerances needed here would have been slower, less consistent, and risked chipping the 10 mm glass on the corian face.
Seeing the screen from the left side shows how the notch sits flush against both the mosaic tile of the boxing and the corian above it. The reinforcement bar at the top of the fixed panel is visible from this angle too — it runs at 45 degrees from the side wall and 45 degrees from the glass face, bracing the fixed panel that the hinged section attaches to.
03 · Top Bracket
Reinforcement bar braces the 350 mm hinged bath panel
The reinforcement bar anchors to the top of the fixed panel through a rounded brushed nickel bracket clamped onto the glass. From there the bar runs at 45 degrees back to the side wall, finishing at a small wall fixing on the opposite side. With the bar in place, the fixed panel is anchored at both top and bottom — giving the hinged bath panel a stable pivot to swing from.
The fixed panel is held against the side wall by only two wall brackets and a mastic seal along the glass edge. That's enough to keep it in place but not stiff enough to stop the top flexing — the fixed panel is over 350 mm wide at the top, and the hinged bath panel hanging off its inside edge is heavy. Without the reinforcement bar, the fixed panel would bounce with each opening, eventually damaging the silicone seal between the glass and the bath rim.
04 · Bottom Hinge
Wall brackets clamp the fixed panel below the corian shelf
Wall brackets clamp the fixed panel against the mosaic just below the corian shelf, and the hinge sits between the fixed panel and the hinged bath panel. Each wall bracket aligns centrally with its corresponding hinge across the glass edge, and both sit as close to the corian shelf as practical. That tight grouping under the shelf line keeps the visible glass area clean, with only the brushed nickel hardware breaking the mosaic surface.
The wall brackets themselves sit tight against the tile, but we always leave a small gap between the glass edge and the wall surface — 2 mm is our sweet spot — sealed with matching-colour mastic. The gap is structural: glass cannot rest directly on a rigid tiled surface without risking fracture under load. We adapt the gap on the day when adjacent fixtures shift between survey and install, keeping shower screen installations aligned with the surrounding bath, shelf and tilework.
05 · Open Position
Hinged panel swings out for easier bath access
With the hinged panel swung open, the glass moves through 90 degrees and ends up parallel to the boxing, sitting just above the WC. That position keeps the open panel out of the bather's way during entry and exit, and the brushed nickel hinge holds it steady at the open angle so it doesn't drift while in use.
A fully fixed screen would have been too short to contain water properly without blocking access, because the sloped ceiling limits how tall the glass can rise on the left edge. Splitting the screen into a fixed section plus a hinged section solved both problems — the fixed half stays where the ceiling is highest, and the hinged half opens wide enough to step into the bath.
06 · Mirrored Twin
Identical install mirrored in the purple mosaic bathroom
On the other side of the same house, the second en-suite uses the same screen geometry mirrored left to right. The mosaic tile is purple instead of blue, but every other dimension matches — the boxing position, the corian shelf height, the screen height aligning with the mirror cabinet, the reinforcement bar angle, even the basin and WC positions are flipped versions of the blue room.
Both en-suites sit under the same roof pitch but on opposite sides, so the sloped ceiling that constrains the screen in the blue bathroom constrains it in the purple bathroom too — just on the other side. We produced the two screens in the same batch, with one notch cut mirrored against the other, and installed them on consecutive days during the refurbishment fit-out.
07 · Sloped Cut
Angled top cut adapts the bath screen to the sloped loft ceiling
This is what makes the install a loft bath screen rather than a standard one. The sloped ceiling cuts down across the back of the bath at a steep angle — a rectangular screen would have to drop short of full height, or shrink narrower than the bath itself. We cut the corner of the hinged panel on the same angle as the ceiling pitch, so the screen sits at full width where it can and follows the pitch line where it has to.
Angled bath screens like this one come from a room measurement rather than a catalogue. Every loft pitch is unique, every wall position is bespoke to the room, and the angled cut has to be measured on site and machined to the exact pitch on a CNC table. It's the kind of made-to-measure shower glass that off-the-shelf bath screen ranges cannot deliver.
08 · Rooflight
Rooflight on the sloped section brings natural light into the loft bathroom
Above the screen on the right, a small rooflight set into the sloped ceiling brings daylight into the bathroom. This is typical of London loft conversions — the sloped section often has no wall area for a normal window, so a rooflight in the pitch is the only way to add natural light to the room. The rooflight's reflection is visible in the mirror cabinet over the basin.
Light from the rooflight catches the brushed nickel hardware and bounces off the ultra-clear glass, giving the small en-suite a brighter feel than its compact footprint would otherwise allow. A large white ventilation grille sits at the ceiling peak directly above the bath — daylight from the rooflight, steam extraction through the grille. The two openings split the roles, so the rooflight stays clear and the steam never settles around the mirror cabinet.
