Frequently asked questions
What types of shower screen are there?
The main types are fixed screens (a single glass panel with an open entry, walk-in style), sliding screens (doors that run on tracks) and hinged screens (doors on hinges). The fixed screen has the most minimalist look and is the easiest to clean, as it has no tracks or moving parts.
What is a fixed shower screen?
It is a single panel of toughened glass anchored to the wall and the floor that separates the shower area while leaving an open entry. Its walk-in style creates a sense of space, makes access easier and removes the tracks where dirt collects.
What glass are shower screens made from?
METROPOLE screens use toughened safety glass compliant with EN 12150. Toughened glass is several times stronger than ordinary glass and, if it does break, shatters into small pieces with no sharp edges.
What size shower screen do I need?
Measure the shower opening: the width of the panel should cover the splash zone while leaving a comfortable entry, around 60 cm clear. For 120 cm trays, a 120 cm fixed screen or a 70-90 cm panel with an open entry are the usual configurations. Dimensions are listed on each model's product page.
How do you clean a shower screen and keep limescale off?
Use a rubber squeegee after every shower and clean periodically with equal parts white vinegar and water. Avoid abrasive powders and metal scourers. A water-repellent anti-limescale treatment reduces maintenance even further.
Does a fixed shower screen need a floor track?
No. A fixed screen is anchored to the wall with a vertical profile and, depending on the model, a small support or profile at the base. With no bottom rail to clean, maintenance is far simpler and the entry stays completely open.
Can a shower screen be paired with any shower tray?
Yes. A fixed screen can be installed over acrylic or built-in tiled shower trays. The most common pairing is an ultra-slim anti-slip tray with a fixed panel, creating an open, accessible shower with a modern look.
How much does a shower screen cost?
It depends on the type, the size and the glass. Fixed screens are usually more affordable than sliding ones, as they have no moving parts. Current pricing for each model is shown on its product page.
