TIPS ON MATERIAL
Aluminium Frame
Look out for the genuine aluminium frame to avoid recycled aluminium or that has mixed with other metals, which is of poor quality and not durable.
In the market, there are Shower Screen framing that may look like aluminium but is of other materials like plastic, which is of inferior quality and unable to support or protect the Shower Screen glass as aluminium does.
The thickness of the aluminium frame is very important in order to have the strength to support the glass and resistant to denting.
Some bathrooms’ decor come with simplicity while others are sophisticated. Therefore, one must be cautious when selecting a suitable matching frame color which does not clash or contrast with the entire bathroom decor and color.
Tempered Safety Glass
Generally, it is best to have Tempered Safety Glass for your Shower Screen and the glass thickness that we supply range from 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm.
Normal glass can be easily chipped and breakage, unlike Tempered Safety Glass which is toughed and are polished to curved edging, so no sharp edge and harmless. Alternatively, you may choose a Shower Shower with strong aluminium framing type to support and protect the glass.
Tempered Safety Glass must be impact and fragmentation tested and complied with the specific glass Standard. This glass will only shatter into small fragments instead of sharp shards, so it is unlikely to cause severe injury.
