How Safe Are Glass Frameless Shower Screens In Perth?

At All Things Glass Perth, we have the safety of your family as our top priority, which is why we guarantee the safety of our range of  frameless glass shower screens and semi frameless  shower screens in Perth homes. Firstly, all of the glass used in our frameless glass shower screens and doors in Perth homes adheres to the requirements of the Building Code of Australia: AS 1288:1994 and AS/NZS 2208:1996.

​Standard AS 1288 specifically refers to the selection and installation of glass in buildings and its safety requirements, namely that toughened glass in the shower screens must be at least 6mm thick, whilst, AS/NZS 2208 refers to the testing requirements for toughened glass.

​Safety Features Of Our Frameless Shower Screens And Semi Frameless Shower Screens In Perth

​The Australian Standards state that only toughened glass or laminated glass can be used in glass shower screens. At All Things Glass, our frameless glass shower screens and semi frameless glass shower screens are all manufactured using 10mm thick toughened glass, so we actually exceed the specifications set out in the Aussie Standards.

This means that if by some chance the glass in your shower screen is broken accidentally, it will not break into large pieces that can cause serious injury. Instead your frameless shower screens in Perth will break into thousands (maybe millions!) of tiny pieces of blunt edged glass that are virtually harmless.

​If you currently have an old glass shower screen in your home it might not be made out of toughened shower screen glass, so it is worth thinking about asking us to give you a quote for new frameless shower screens in Perth, just to be on the safe side.

Care For Your Shower Screens

​When you purchase one of our new frameless shower screens we give you instructions on how to care for the shower screen glass products and shower fittings as well. This is an important shower screen safety factor, because the proper care and maintenance of your frameless shower screens can minimise the potential of the glass shower screens inadvertently breaking (due to a small chip in the glass that might weaken the surface tension of the glass).

Also, don’t forget that all of our shower screens come with stainless steel shower screen fittings and clamps and they look absolutely fabulous.  A frameless shower screens in Perth is the best way to revamp your bathroom and bring it bang up to date. It will also make your
