A1 Shower Screens supplies and installs fixed panel shower screens across Melbourne, made using strong and safe glass suited to Australian bathroom requirements. They are particularly common in walk in showers and open layouts, where the panel does the job of containing spray without enclosing the space.
Getting the size and position right is the key consideration here. Too small and water escapes, too large and it can crowd the room, so we work through this carefully based on the shower head position and floor fall.
A fixed panel shower screen is a single glass panel that is installed in place and does not open or slide. It is often used to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom.
Because there is no door, fixed panels can make the bathroom feel larger and easier to move through. They also have fewer moving parts compared with sliding, hinged or pivot shower screens.
Fixed panel shower screens are one of the most common choices for walk-in showers. They suit modern bathroom renovations, ensuite upgrades and new builds where a clean, open design is preferred.
They can also work well with frameless glass for a minimal look. If you want a walk-in design, we can help you choose the right panel size, placement and hardware.
The right fixed panel size depends on the shower head position, bathroom layout, floor fall, tile design and how much water spray needs to be contained.
A1 Shower Screens can measure your space and recommend a custom fixed glass panel that suits the bathroom rather than relying on a standard off-the-shelf size.
Fixed panel shower screens are popular because they look clean and are easy to use. With fewer joins and no door track, they can also be easier to clean than some older framed or sliding screens.
They can be designed with clear glass, frosted glass, fluted or reeded glass, black frame, silver frame, gold finishes or other custom options depending on the style of your bathroom.

Fewer moving parts means less to maintain over time
It depends on the shower head position and how the water sprays once it hits the panel. As a general guide, taller and wider panels contain more spray, but the exact sizing is worked out during the measure.
Often, yes, particularly if the shower currently relies on a curtain or has no screen at all. We can assess the space and confirm whether a panel can be retrofitted.
Not necessarily. Many fixed panels are frameless, supported by floor and wall fixings rather than a perimeter frame, which suits the minimal look most people are after.
Clear, frosted and fluted glass are all options, and the choice often comes down to how much privacy or texture you want from a single panel.
Just the glass and the seal at the floor and wall junctions. With no door, track or hinges, there is less to wear out over time.
