For larger showers with plenty of clearance, a hinged shower screen is hard to beat. It opens like a standard door, provides full access for cleaning, and delivers a premium feel without the need for an overly complex design.
A1 Shower Screens designs, supplies and installs hinged shower screens across Melbourne in frameless, semi frameless and framed configurations, using safety glass that meets Australian standards. A range of hardware finishes is available, including silver, black, gold, white and many more colours to suit your bathroom design.
The key requirement for a hinged door is adequate clearance. During the measure and quote process, we carefully assess the swing path to ensure it does not interfere with vanities, toilets, or bathtubs.
A hinged shower screen uses hinges to allow the door to open outward, or in some designs both inward and outward, depending on the chosen hardware and layout.
This style is ideal where there is sufficient space for the door swing, offering a clean, premium look with simple everyday functionality.
Hinged shower screens are well suited to both frameless and semi frameless designs. Frameless hinged screens create a minimal, open feel with discreet hardware, while semi frameless options provide added structure for a more defined finish.
Every bathroom layout is different, which is why custom sizing is essential. A1 Shower Screens can measure and manufacture a hinged shower screen to suit your space, ensuring a precise fit, balanced design, and reduced water escape.
Hinged shower screens are a popular choice for new builds, bathroom renovations, and replacement installations. They work well in corner showers, wall-to-wall layouts, and larger walk-in style spaces.

It depends on the door width, but as a general rule the space the door swings into should be kept clear of fixtures like the vanity or toilet. We check this against your bathroom layout during the measure.
Some hinge hardware allows the door to swing both in and out, which can be useful in showers where space is tight on one side. We can confirm whether this suits your setup.
Frameless hinged doors use heavier glass and minimal hardware for a premium look, while framed hinged doors are more budget friendly and tend to feel slightly more substantial when opening and closing.
Chrome remains the most common, but black, gold, silver and white are all available and can be matched to your tapware and other bathroom fittings.
Often, yes, particularly in larger ensuites where there is room for the door swing. In smaller ensuites, it is worth comparing against sliding or pivot options.
