What is a bathtub screen and what are its types?

As the name suggests, a bathtub screen is mounted on the bathtub. Thanks to it, you can freely take a shower in the bathtub without worrying that the walls and floor will be splashed. A bathtub screen is primarily a practical element of interior decor, provided that you choose a suitable model that will harmonize with the bathroom design and improve its aesthetics.

When browsing store offers, it is easy to see there is a whole range of different models. On top of that, not all of them can be mounted on every bathtub. One of the universal options is a folding bathtub screen. Their size may vary depending on the size of the bathtub. They consist of several elements and do not require any additional guides. Another common type is a sliding screen which may consist of one or several pieces.

Swinging screens are an interesting option for rectangular bathtubs. Unlike the previous types, these are always single-piece and rotate on their axis.

The biggest advantages of bathtub screens

The first and most important advantage is the possibility of combining a shower with a bathtub. You will find supporters of both solutions among household members. In most bathrooms it is impossible to place both a shower and a bathtub at the same time. This is due, on the one hand, to lack of space and, on the other hand, to additional costs. Therefore, a bathtub screen means savings, better organization of space and the possibility of using various forms of bathing - it's a win-win situation.

Coming back to the organization of space, when there are fewer washing facilities in the bathroom, it is much easier to keep it clean. And this is very important in today's world, where time is at a premium. It is true that you can take a quick shower in the bathtub when there is no screen. However, then you have to be very careful about the direction of the stream of water, and after the bath you have to wipe the surfaces. The floor, mirrors or walls will usually be all wet. And at this point, two more advantages of screens emerge – convenience and less mess. Taking a shower is certainly more comfortable when you don't have to control every movement so much. Instead, you can enjoy a nice bath.

A purely practical solution? Not necessarily!

It is true that the most important reason behind installing a bathtub screen is its functionality. However, it is not only a practical piece of equipment. By choosing a good model, you can improve the aesthetics of the interior. With an interesting design and high-quality materials, the interior looks better and well thought-out.

Interestingly, bathtub screens emphasize the character of any bathroom, and at the same time can be used in various interior design styles. They blend in particularly well with the modern, Scandinavian and minimalist styles. Nevertheless, it is worth using this solution with other types of interior designs styles. When browsing the models of the SanSwiss brand, you will see a huge range of possibilities. You can choose from different glass variants, number of elements, profile size and colour.

SanSwiss bathtub screens – proposals for demanding customers

Each screen is different, so if you want to have a solution that is functional and comfortable to use, you should choose products that have been refined to the smallest detail. That's what SanSwiss proposals are.

First of all, there are several product lines to choose from. The colours, the way of use, or the number of elements are different. The design of each line stands out from the others and matches a different interior. Thanks to this, you can easily find a model that fits perfectly with your bathtub and the entire interior design.

In addition, bathtub screens are made of 6 mm tempered glass, which means they are durable, safe and aesthetic. Tempered glass combined with stylish profiles have resulted in prestigious and elegant solutions. The manufacturer thought about all the needs of users, including comfort of use and ease of cleaning. This is why the AQUAPERLE polymer coating preventing the formation of deposits comes as standard. Its structure prevents water droplets from settling on the glass. Thus, care is much easier than in a regular shower, where there is no protective coating.
