Floor to Ceiling Shower Screens Melbourne

What Are Full Height Shower Screens?

Full height shower screens, also referred to as floor-to-ceiling shower screens, are a variation of our frameless shower screens designed for bathrooms where the glass extends all the way to the ceiling.

By running the glass from floor to ceiling, these shower screens create a clean, uninterrupted finish that helps the bathroom feel larger and more open. Without the typical break at the top of the glass, the result is a more seamless and architectural look.

Full height shower screens have become increasingly popular in modern bathroom renovations, particularly in homes with higher ceilings or feature tiles where the goal is to highlight the design of the space.

Depending on the layout and style of the bathroom, these installations can be designed as fully frameless glass panels or as framed shower screen designs, with a range of hardware finishes available to suit the overall design.

Frameless and Framed Full Height Shower Screens

Frameless systems are typically attached to the wall using brackets or a minimal amount of wall channel, creating a clean, minimalist appearance.

Framed shower screens, on the other hand, create a more defined and bold look by using slim framing around the glass panels.

Both options can be designed in several configurations, including:

• Full height walk-in shower panels
• Corner shower screens
• Wall-to-wall shower screens
• Sliding shower screen systems

Each installation is custom designed to suit the space and the layout of the bathroom.

Installation of Full Height Shower Screens

Because floor to ceiling shower screens run the full height of the bathroom, accurate measurements and careful installation are essential.

Once wall tiling is completed, we return to take final measurements so the glass can be manufactured to fit precisely within the space.

The result is a shower screen that fits cleanly within the bathroom and operates smoothly while creating a striking full height glass finish.

Frequently asked questions about Full Height Shower screens

Here are some of the most common questions people ask about floor to ceiling shower screens.

Are floor to ceiling shower screens safe?

Yes. The glass used in shower screens is toughened safety glass, which is designed to be significantly stronger than standard glass. If it ever breaks, it shatters into small pieces rather than sharp shards.

At what stage does a full height shower screen get installed?

Full height shower screens are typically measured after wall tiling has been completed. Installation is best carried out before other bathroom fixtures such as vanities, bathtubs or toilets are installed.

Because floor to ceiling glass panels can be quite large and heavy, they require enough space to be safely manoeuvred into position. Keeping the bathroom relatively clear makes installation easier and helps ensure the glass can be installed into position without the risk of damaging other fixtures.

Are there any downsides to full height shower screens?

Full height shower screens create a very clean and architectural look, but there are a couple of practical considerations.

Because the glass runs all the way to the ceiling, cleaning the upper section of the panel may require a small step ladder depending on the ceiling height.

Ventilation is also important. Since the shower area is more enclosed, the bathroom must have adequate ventilation to allow moisture and steam to escape. This is usually achieved with a good exhaust fan or natural ventilation.
