Bathroom Window

[Jemisa]

We are thinking of changing our bathroom into a shower room, you know the sort double shower cubicle and taking out the large corner bath. Problem is we have a fairly large window there, what would happen there would they have to block that up? Aunty Jem.

It would be good to have the light ................ what about a glass bath screen......... you know the type .... a hinged panel that is usually used to turn a bath into a shower. Could you hang it on the face of the wall, so that it could be opened to get at the window, and to stop water from getting on to the sill?

TB Thanks for your reply. We actually thought of something like that ourselves but didn't know if it could be done. I suppose it would have to be made especially, not the sort of thing thats standard, and I expect it will bump the budget up. We'll have to get a plumber in too I don't think it would be an easy DIY job for my hubby.

Does the shower need to be located by the window? Can't you rearrange the layout of the bathroom?

Don't give up Jem ............... any local glass merchant can cut and supply the glass .......... all you need is the frame and hinges to hold it ............. just like hinged secondary double glazing.............DIY kit you cut to size.....................

"The builder" is wrong on one point. ANY glass that is going to be used as a screen must be safety glass. On no account should normal glass be used, even thick 6mm glass is dangerous. Get the size of sheet needed and a glass merchant will get it cut and treated. If when used, there is an accident, the screen glass, if broken will shatter into a million harmeless bits. Do not even think about using normal glass. Ever.
