Choose the shower screen alongside the shape of the bath

A shaped bath creates a different relationship between glass and bathing space. In our Aberdeen bathroom, a curved sliding screen follows the wider showering end while leaving the bath available for a soak.

When comparing a similar bath, look at the screen as part of the fitting rather than a finishing accessory. Check how it moves, where the opening appears and how the bathing space will be approached. Include access to the glass and bath edge for routine wiping. Look at where the bath starts to widen and whether the screen follows the part you stand in while showering.

The useful comparison is between complete bath-and-screen arrangements. A shape that offers a broader showering end also needs an opening and cleaning routine that suit the way you expect to use it.
