Hi, all. Am looking at installing shower screen for my rental unit. For safety and economic reasons, I rather go for polystyrene panel instead of tempered glass. Just a one-side installation. i.e. not a wrap-around design. Any idea on cost and recommendation of supplier / installer ? Thanks in advance.

hmmm...cant seem to find any topic on shower screen here bein actively discussed. is it bcoz shower screen is not that popular still?

anyways, am lookin for opinion as to whether slide screen is better or swing screen is better. which one is less likely to wear & tear & give way?

im more incline to use slide, but have heard a couple of ppl commentin that the slide mechanism always jam.

still not sure.......

also, side track a lil, is it better to built a drop or raise up (one brick-size) at the shower screen area (this is to segregate the dry toilet from the wet toilet). the installer suggested drop, but i wan LYN forumers expert advise on this...

Hi, why don't you go for tempered glass for your bathroom shower screen? i am from this industry, if you are interested, i can offer you a best price which i believe you can't get it outside.

Thank you

What's ur pricing for corner unit, 6ft by 3ft?

Please PM me too..

maybe you can look around DIY stuff from IKEA

Hi,

I'm looking for a shower screen (length 6ft including the swing door) for my new house bathroom.
Pls PM me the best price.

Thanks

Recently saw the shower screen at some bathroom accessories shop, got alot of pattern ler.....if not wrong one of them is at Kajang--Saujana impian i think.....around the area with McDonald which is further from the TESCO Kajang. The shop name is DeBathe.
If not wrong RM400+ include installation (forget the size/ material), but must have the floor divider.

haha..kath, sort of late to see this post of yours... I wud go for sunken or drop for the shower area for aesthetics reason(is personal of course).. raise up is sort of dated to me although i'm nearly into my midlife crisis..

lol. im goin for sunken one in the end. but still hav not decided if i want swing or slide....hmmmmmmm..... flip a coin?

from the look of it, it seems swing is more long lasting... but of coz u need to choose those more solid joint

Sometime just found the edges of shower screen is too difficult to wash/ clean.....can see black things at edge after sometimes....so decide not to install. Unless i plan to have MAID in future, haha....i am super lazy person.

Also, if toilet too small, shower screen will take most of the space..

ya la, permanent type (tempered glass) shower screen is good for big bathroom contra to temporary type (poly sheet).

But i prefer not use it at all because it give me more 'freedom'

frameless shower screen will only take up 10mm off your 3x3 shower area and it helps to give you a dry/wet area in the bathroom.... it is a 'why not' for me..

Yes, i like the "freedoom" mentioned above as well, haha
Guess i am fat, afraid knocking my elbow on shower screen too.

ive got my shower screen frm austscreen. guy who came to instal was quite good, vry quick & professional.

ive decided on swing for downstairs & slide for upstairs.

so i can use these two as a comparative to see which mechanism is better!

Hi, How much you get the swing type? i need 2 sets. TQ! and Where you buy?

I am also thinking whether to go for a sliding or swing shower screen.
For sliding, the edge of the screen can be diffcult to clean since it's enclosed in aluminium frame
while I heard the joint can get loosen easily for the swing shower design.

Which one is better in terms of ease of maintenance?

i have sliding. but planning to go for swing. made some comparison, swing has more accessible parts, therefore can clean more easily. i esp hate the silicon bit, where it alwiz turn black.

Mind to explain more on the silicon part? Is the silicon used to stick the glass to the aluminium frame?

Thanks for the Information Everyone.

Chin85,
How much are you selling per square feet? and what is the thickness of the tempered glass.

Thanks!

Both has its own advantage. If you have more room, use the swing and it's usually with the L-frame design.
If your bathroom is tight and small, use the sliding. The hardest maintenance would be cleaning the soap scum on the screen!

Anyone else using swing 10mm glass shower screen?
Did u need to service/replace the hinge often?

Hi, RM800 for a sliding 6 feet width, 6 feet height shower screen, is it expensive?

I think its cheap...where is the shop? can i get the contact pls...mind pm me?

Kingsman, where is this shop?
I got quoted a normal shower screen of 6x6, about RM960.

I am interested to know too

Sorry for the late reply...I got the quotation from here: http://www.honglee.com.my/

Hi, may I know if my bathroom floor is level (shower area the same level with basin area) can I still install tempered glass shower screen? Right now, shower water can flow to anywhere, so I wonder if I can install glass shower screen with rubbers at bottom to stop water from flowing to basin area. I want the type with swing door.

Of course can jus add 1 water strip to the door can ler

Ooo lala. That's a good news. Thanks.

Need an image of water strip. My problem is the bathroom and master bedroom are same level, so when washing toilet the water will run into Master Bedroom.

Can this water strip be use to prevent the water from flowing into Master Bedroom?

Thanks for reply.

My new house had recently completed 3 sets of shower screen installation just a few days ago, recommended by my uncle which he had done his shower screen also through them, Emack Enterprise. Just give them a buzz and they will come over to your place to measure for a quotation. I am a satisfied customer and now when I take a bath, its damn nice, no more water overflow making my stupid toilet wet all the time! LOL!

The boss was very honest, knowledgeable and the price was in fact very reasonable. You could give them a buzz. Hope they could be of help bro........

Peace out yo.

My bathroom floor is flat. Wanna install a tempered glass shower screen, any design that also provide a floor partition that prevent water from flowing out?

Construct a small up-stand kerb. This will prevent the shower water from flowing out to the rest of the bathroom.
As for the material, I recall being told that there is some ready made material that the installer could cut according to the site dimensions and fasten before installing the tempered glass.

Went aroun and it seems that there are 3 option.
1. get your tile contractor to install a tile type kerb
2. get the shower screen installer to install a aluminium type kerb
3. get the shower screen installer to install a solid surface (fiber or plastic) type kerb.

I'll be going for option 3. if kick the kerb accidentally, less damage

Yup. less damage to the foot

Hi guys just wanted to seek ur advise if I shd go for :

1. Fixed tempered glass 10mm shower screen with push door
2. Sliding shower screen ( those 3 panels with aluminum frame

The price of both not much diff about rm100 diff only

Any advise?

Depend, if you have space use glass door (#1), Glass sliding door is more expensive. Not sure what do you mean by aluminum frame.

I have both, the door, and sliding. My glass sliding door only have top stainless steal. No panels.

Hi Wei Kee,

The 3 panel aluminium frame shower screen which is something like this ---> http://www.google.com.my/imgres?q=shower+s...1t:429,r:20,s:0


by the way, wat was ur width for ur "door" shower screen? 3ft?

Which one you referring too? sliding or normal door?

Sliding with 3 pcs panel...

Mine is sliding 2 pieces only. Width is about 5feet

Sorry wei kee for the confusion...actually i m looking at more entry level sliding screens like this :-

Courtesy of : http://www.google.com.my/imgres?q=sliding+...s:0&tx=60&ty=66



This ones are with Aluminium Frames...and more budget
I think these kinds are in the range of RM600-RM800

What do you think?


Attached thumbnail(s)

That look nice, but the bottom railing will it trip people walking over if your shower area not sunken lower?
What glass do they give? Tempered?

Yea, Tempered 5mm...

hmm..the tripping part...I think should be alright...cos a lot of houses are using it as well..but of cos the "Door type tempered like urs" would be a better choice..and Tempered is 10mm...

Still thinking....hehe

My sliding is 8mm Tempered. Door is 10mm. Because you need more force to push open the door.

guys any contractor or supplier contact around puchong or bandar kinrara area?

I'm looking for Tempered Glass Sliding Shower Screen as well. Might to tell me how much you get this? Just want to know roughly how much does it cost.

Thx.

1.1k +- RM 100 is a good start.

Wow... This is cheap. Might to share where u get it? Any contact? I got around RM1400.

You have to consider the length and height. The price I got is for my washroom.

You can try Solid Glass.

Mine is less than 5 feet. Around 59 inches only.

Hi, Can someone reply jedi23 enquiry ?
I am eager to know the price comparison too !!
Thanks ya !

The price is definitely on the high side, shower screen + door over 3k??? The contractor is making a killing on the owner.

The price is consider high for the quotation but is it include some minor contract works like adding kerb at bottom?or maybe some part need to install additional tiles?or maybe some piping works need to relocate?

guys, to install the shower screen must have drainage pipe is it?

my bathroom only got one. so how? i want to separate bath area and toilet area

It's a drainage outlet or floor trap.

Of course you need an outlet for water from the shower to drain off.

If there is no outlet, install the shower screen to sit on a raised kerb (say 50mm) with brick and cement mortar
The kerb keeps the water within the shower cubicle. Create a recess (50mm) through the kerb for the water from inside
the cubicle to drain out to the floor trap.
The tiler has to lay the floor tiles to fall to the direction of the outlet.

I got my bi-fold door from them too. But the do not know anything about shower screen kerb.

Kerb is done by your tilers mah. All my shower area kerb are done by tiler guru.

The plastic / solid top type offered by reliance is also an option but when I ask the solid glass salesman, he dunno

This post has been edited by phoenix69: Feb 19 2012, 12:09 AM

Not sure they do, mine all have kerb, did not ask them about it.

The glass partition installer does not provide the kerb. You have to get your tiler or mason to do it.
The kerb as a base is also good to keep the glass panel clean, being above floor level.

My house already has a kerb.
How much is it to just install on top of the kerb?
Approx. 5ft(L) x 3ft(W)

Ask shower screen supplier lah. We are just normal home users.

Reliance does.. X tra RM 200.00

But that is just add ontop of the floor right? Not cement kerb. You have sample how it look like?

You can see it at their showroom in Puchong.
Looks like a piece of kitchen table top, solid plastic.
They silicon it to the floor I think.

Oh, got what you mean. Saw that before.

My uncle's house located at Subang Jaya, just completed renovation by extending and upgrading his bathrooms to luxury atmosphere. Went to visit his home a few days ago and he was proudly showing me his bathroom with his new shower screen setup. Apparently, his shower screen's dimensions were rather close to yours. Was showing him your quotation on my laptop, he said he managed to get it at a much cheaper price from Emack Enterprise, which so happen was the same shop that I did my shower screen with. What a coincidence! Didn't know he wanted shower screens at his bathroom if not I would have recommended him at the first place to save the hassles. He was happy with the services and found it affordable compared to the other shops he checked around for quotation.

Previously my uncle's lower ground bathroom shower screen, he did it from another shop and the service was terrible. Punctuality was a concern, unprofessional and kept delaying installation date. He was unhappy when he recalled the experience.

Maybe you can check with Emack Enterprise?

My bathrooms were also upgraded a while ago and I did it with Emack also. Happy with my bathroom so far as water can't splash across when bathing.

Hate those bathrooms that are always wet!

Hope this reply helps jedi23 enquiry yea

Recently installed a tampered glass shower screen in bathroom and yesterday was shocked to find the glass door "shattered" by itself. Good thing is the glass did not break into pieces since it's tempered glass. What is surprising is I haven't used it yet since I have not moved into the condo. What could be the cause? Inferior glass quality?

Anyone experienced it before?

Wei Kee

Does the glass look unsightly after shower and the water dries up...I know new looks nice...

ok.. this is a bit out of topic.. but anyone knows where to find a good shower CURTAIN including the poles?

Water marked can't be avoid. You need to use vinegar to soak bit and use normal way to scrap it.

hi ,
may i know where did u buy the shower screen? thank you.

Just caught the promotion for shower screen during Homedec 2012 with Reliance Home, 5x6ft 8mm Tempered Glass Sliding Shower Screen for RM900. Additional RM90 for aluminum hollow frame to support my shower screen since mine cannot be mounted wall-to-wall.

Here is the picture.



Also, purchase 5 units Bi-Fold Door (Fiber Glass Panel) with white color powder coated frame at RM350 each. Nice deal I would say compared with the rest...

hello, i have 5 and 1 yr old child...is it true tempered glasss shower screen not recommanded and unsaved for those who got small child?

If you can make sure your child wont bang into the glass then its safe.If your child smash the glass then it wont be safe even if it is plastic

cool, is it installed?
can show me the actual result.
indeed a very good product.

Not yet installed but coming Friday. Will post a picture once it's installed.

im looking forward to see ya bi-fold door pic.kindly post
btw, where you buy those bi-fold door?warranty?

Read the whole post then u know... I did mentioned there.

is the price include installation? how much total up all?
i cant wait to go to their next fair.

can help me check out do they still offer at this moment.
i saw the custom bi fold with new design is cost rm450.

Yup. Price included installation. Total is how much I'm not sure but I'm sure I save more than RM1k compared with normal price for those items I bought. I even cancelled all my previous orders & lost RM100 from Vitally because of this offer.

If you want discount only available during fair as I spoke with the sales person in Puchong branch last week. U can call them directly for next fair that they gonna show up.
