Congratulations on your decision to renovate your bathroom with a frameless shower screen! Your new enclosure is sure to add beauty to your bathroom and value to your home.

Standard Shower Screen Packages

Purchasing a standard pre-made shower screen package will save you lots on your renovation budget compared with ordering a custom made-to-measure screen which is a more costly and lenghty process.

02

Angles to Use

Plan for your shower to be built using 90°, 135°, or 180° angles. Most frameless shower screen hardware is designed to accommodate these angles, so planning your shower with this in mind ensures a more cost-effective installation and a properly functioning enclosure.

03

Plumb Walls & Level Floors

Walls need to be completely vertical or "plumb" and floor need to be completely horizontal or "level". In order to prevent large silicon gaps, uneven joints, and hinge "bind" the walls can't lean in any direction, be "bowed" or "bellied".

To ensure the most cost-effective outcome use pre-made panels. These panels are all cut square and is recommended that walls and floors are less than 5mm out of square.

Otherwise for the best outcome you should consider getting a custom-made panel which will be cut to follow the slopes of the walls and floors. Also, custom panels can also be made with intermac "CNC" cuts for bowed, bellied or uneven walls.

Shower Door Swing

When planning your shower design, keep in mind that Building Code states that all hinged shower doors must open outwards. If a shower doors that swing inwards only are not permitted. The shower enclosure must permit unobstructed access to a showering person in case of a fall.

Check that the shower door will not be obstructed by anything, like a toilet or vanity. If your bathroom is not suitable for a hinged shower door, consider choosing a sliding shower door.

Pre-Plan Your Renovation

Choosing a pre-made shower screen package before you start renovating your bathroom will allow you to build the shower area to suit a pre-made package and save you on ordering custom panels.

Mixing Custom & Pre-made Panels

We realise this is not always possible to purchase a standard pre-made shower screen package for a pre-existing bathroom and you will need to order a custom (made-to-measure) shower screen. We specialise in mixing custom panels with our pre-made panels to ensure you continue to save money.

There are couple of ways to keep the pricing of a custom-made screen down:

use our standard height of 2m
use our pre-made doors of 600mm wide

Plumb walls and level floors allow the use of pre-made panels which will reduce the cost of your quote.

Pre-production

Once a quote has been accepted and a deposit has been made, we enter into the pre-production phase of the order. In this stage we will make sure all the technical aspects of the order is confirmed before starting production.

For your order you would have choosen either: a) installation with a measure service, or b) do-it-yourself.

Measure Service

An installer is assigned to your order to measure your bathroom.
Once YSS receives the details of the measure, one of the follow may happen:
1. there are no changes to the quote, production of the glass can begin; or
2. there are changes to the quote, for example: a model change from a hinge door model to a sliding door model or a height change from 2000mm to 2100mm. A revised quote will be emailed to you outlining the difference between the original quote verses the installer's measurements. Once acceptance of the revised quote is received, production of the glass can begin.

Do-It-Yourself

A technician will draft a production drawing which will be emailed to you for confirmation.
If there are any changes to the production drawing you will need to advise YSS of any amendments.
Once the final confirmation of production drawing is submitted, production of the glass can begin. Important note, once production of the glass has began there can be no further amendments.
