The number one trend in shower screens for the 2020’s is the curved edge shower screen.
We are talking curved edge, rounded edge, radius edge or circular edge shower screens pretty much any way you wanted to describe it.
Second is the fluted screen which we will cover a little bit below.
Number One Reason Curved Shower Panels Are So Popular
Curved edge fixed panels all fall into the trend of bathroom curves.
Rounded vanities and mirrors are already more popular than ever so it makes sense shower screens would follow suit.
As more and more companies like the links below create pre made curved screens you will get a feed-on effect of just more and more.
These places below I have used and ship Australia wide.
All this means instead of spending $1000 plus on a custom made rounded edge screen you might only have to pay a couple of hundred dollars.
With all these savings it fuels more and more availability
Importantly it should be said a normal square edge screen will be fine in your bathroom but if you are looking for something that feels a little more natural or organic then a rounded edge shower screen will be for you
Some Other Curved Shower Trends
Along with the curved edge fixed panel screen we have the fluted version or sometimes called reeded glass curved screens.
Fluted glass screens are really just a way of keeping your glass looking cleaner for longer.
Additionally, the fluted glass curved screens give the owner a little more solitude for additional users of the shower.
You can notice though is a little green tinge in your shower screens, especially in a fluted glass.
The reason has to do with the amount of Iron in the glass but I break that all down HERE or below.
Arched Shower Screens
Below we have examples of arch shower screens or arched fixed panel shower screens which are the more aggressive bathroom feature.
Arch shower screens are the most stunning of all shower screen choices.
What I love about the arch-fixed panel screens is that they bring a conversation towards screens that has never happened before.
If you decide on a the arch frameless panel screens match in your walls the same it blends so well.
Some different varieties of arch shower screen are the fluted arch shower screen, the black framed arch shower screen and the double arch shower screen.
Frosted/Fluted/Reeded Arch Shower Screens
Fluted Arch Shower Screens and Frosted Arch Shower Screens are perfect for the owner who hates cleaning or wants a little privacy added to their bathroom.
Firstly unique arch screens become even more of a statement when you frame them in a black frame arch which shows off those curves even more.
This brushed brass arch frame shower screen below is more ambitious but goes so well with the tiles.
The double frameless arch screen is perfect for more wall-to-wall screens or pivots door arch showers.
Arched, Curved or Rounded Shower screens are going to be popular in Perth over the next few years they have already taken off overseas and all over Australia.
What I do love about them is they are subtle for a feature without being overwhelming.
Overall a round shower screen can be the item of a bathroom you see the most so if you can make it a little softer you can really get more out of it.
Biggest Downside Of Curved Arch Rounded Fixed Panel Screens
The biggest downside of the arch curved shower screens is the cost and availability.
In all honestly most places are sold out of the premade ones so you are looking at spending big.
Specifically average frameless fixed panel arch or curved screen will be over $1000!
Finally, I will say it’s important to have what you want and I hope I have helped in some way.
Undeniably it’s important to note that all our advice is general in nature about round shower screens.
Because all bathrooms are unique so always speak to your local qualified tradesman for the best advice.
