Are you wondering what a bath screen is for? If you are in a dilemma - shower cabin or tub, you can install a bath screen. Screens are mounted on the tub to protect the bathroom from splashes. It's a great solution, especially in a small bathroom. Various types of screens are now available to match almost every type of tub.
Bath Screens
If you don’t want to give up a quick shower in the morning and a relaxing bath in the evening, install a bath screen. It is usually a transparent or matte panel made of tempered glass or plastic. The screen panels are attached to the wall next to the tub using profiles. When installing a screen, the most important thing is to match it to the shape of the tub. Only a properly selected screen can increase the functionality of the tub. Since there are many models of screens available, they can be matched to different types of tubs. The installation is easiest in standard-sized rectangular tubs.
Bath screen not only practical
With a screen, you can create a stylish bathroom interior. It is so versatile that it fits both modern and more traditional interiors. A well-chosen screen adds elegance and subtly separates the tub from the rest of the bathroom. Screens can have different finishes - transparent, matte, embossed patterns, graphite color, or with prints. For small bathrooms, it is better to opt for a clear panel, as it will visually enlarge the space. Meanwhile, screens with black profiles will enrich the industrial interior of your bathroom.
What material are screens made of?
Bath screens can be made from various materials, but manufacturers most often use tempered glass or plastic. Tempered glass is very durable - resistant to damage, scratches, and sudden temperature changes. It's worth noting that glass screens are more expensive than those made of plastic, as this type of material is more prone to damage and easily scratched during cleaning. Some screen models have a special coating that makes lime scale less likely to form.
Sliding, folding, or swing bath screen?
- swing bath screens: this type suits rectangular tubs. It consists of a single panel that rotates around its axis. This type of screen can freely open outwards and inwards.
- folding bath screens: can consist of several elements, depending on the size of the tub. This type suits all kinds of tubs, even those with irregular shapes.
- sliding bath screens: sliding screens fit all types of tubs. With the help of appropriate runners, they are installed on the tub and above its edge. Because one panel is fixed and the other slides, they are great for a small bathroom.

Which bath screen to choose?
The choice of a screen depends on your preferences and expectations. Before buying a screen, you need to consider whether it will fit your tub. The dimensions of the tub and the size of the screen are important parameters. So on which tub is it best to mount a bath screen? The simplest is to install it on a rectangular tub with regular dimensions. If the tub you have is of non-standard dimensions, don't worry. You have the option to order a custom-made screen. As for corner, semicircular, or asymmetrical tubs, installing a screen will be a bigger challenge. A bath screen will not be a good solution for standalone tubs.
Why is it worth installing a bath screen?
Is it worth it? It all depends on personal preferences. If you want a shower and a tub in one, then a bath screen will be an excellent solution. One of the advantages of the tub with a screen is that you can take a quick shower, as well as a relaxing, long bath. This screen besides protecting the bathroom from splashes also serves a decorative function. This solution will work in small bathrooms where there is not enough space for both a shower cabin and a tub.
