Sliding shower screens: the smart solution to optimize space
The sliding shower enclosure is an engineered solution that redefines bathroom functionality. By eliminating the swing arc of a hinged door, it maximizes usable space, making it the ideal technical choice for optimizing complex or small layouts. This system, based on tempered glass panels that glide on precision bearings, not only guarantees superior water tightness but also creates a sense of spaciousness and visual cleanliness, integrating seamlessly as a light and contemporary architectural element.
Technical analysis of components and finishes
| Component | Technical specifications | Application / impact on design |
|---|---|---|
| Tempered glass | Safety glass 5 to 8 mm thick. Available in clear, smoked or grooved finishes. | The transparent one maximizes light. The smoked or ribbed one provides privacy and decorative value. |
| Profiles | Anodized or lacquered aluminum in black, gold or chrome finishes. | The black trim creates an industrial contrast, while the chrome or gold adds a classic touch. |
| Bearings | Dual systems, often with a blade release function for easy cleaning. | They guarantee a smooth and quiet glide, key to a quality user experience. |
Advantages of a sliding opening system
- Space optimization: By not requiring an opening arch, it frees up the exterior area of the shower, ideal for bathrooms with nearby toilets or furniture.
- Greater water tightness: The overlapping systems between leaves and the lower profiles minimize water leaks, keeping the bathroom floor dry.
- Structural safety: The use of tempered safety glass guarantees high impact resistance and, in case of breakage, it fragments into small, non-cutting pieces.
- Clean and minimalist design: The absence of bulky hinges contributes to a cleaner and more modern aesthetic.
Tips for choosing and installing
Before choosing, accurately measure the shower tray opening at three points (bottom, middle, and top) to ensure a perfect fit. An 8 mm thickness provides a greater sense of sturdiness, while 5 or 6 mm are visually lighter and more practical for everyday use. Pay particular attention to the anti-limescale treatment of the glass, a feature that greatly simplifies maintenance and keeps the shower screen clear for longer.
