Case Study: Frameless Pivoting Shower Screen Installation in Rozelle, NSW

Premium Bathroom Upgrade with a Custom Frameless Shower Screen

Five Star Glass recently completed the supply and installation of a custom frameless pivoting shower screen for a homeowner in Rozelle, NSW. The project involved the installation of a frameless pivoting door and wall-hinged corner screen, designed to create a sleek, modern appearance while maximising functionality and durability within the bathroom space.

The homeowners were undertaking a bathroom renovation and wanted a premium shower enclosure that would complement the contemporary design of the room. Their goal was to achieve a clean, open feel without bulky framing while ensuring the shower screen met the highest standards of safety and performance.

After an on-site measure and consultation, Five Star Glass designed a fully customised frameless shower screen solution using 10mm toughened safety glass, finished with stylish oil-rubbed gunmetal black hardware throughout.

Understanding the Client’s Requirements

The bathroom featured large-format wall tiles, a modern stone-look floor, and black tapware fixtures. The homeowners wanted the shower enclosure to integrate seamlessly with these design elements while maintaining a minimalist appearance.

Their key requirements included:

• A fully frameless design for a spacious, open feel
• A pivoting shower door for easy access
• A wall-hinged corner return panel for stability and functionality
• Premium black hardware to match existing bathroom fixtures
• Durable glass capable of withstanding daily use
• Compliance with all relevant Australian safety standards

The team at Five Star Glass worked closely with the client to ensure every aspect of the design aligned with the overall vision for the bathroom renovation.

Custom Frameless Shower Screen Design

To achieve the desired outcome, Five Star Glass designed a custom frameless shower enclosure consisting of a fixed front panel, a frameless pivoting door, and a wall-hinged corner screen.

The completed installation measured 2100mm in height, providing excellent water containment while creating an elegant floor-to-ceiling visual effect. The increased height also helps prevent water spray from escaping the shower area, improving functionality without compromising aesthetics.

Unlike framed shower screens, frameless glass allows natural light to flow freely throughout the bathroom, making the space appear larger and brighter. This is particularly beneficial in modern bathroom designs where openness and simplicity are highly valued.

High-Performance 10mm Toughened Safety Glass

A key feature of this installation was the use of premium 10mm toughened safety glass.

Toughened glass is specifically manufactured through a controlled heating and rapid cooling process that significantly increases its strength compared to standard glass. This makes it ideal for bathroom applications where safety and durability are essential.

The benefits of 10mm toughened safety glass include:

• Exceptional strength and impact resistance
• Increased durability for everyday use
• Enhanced safety performance
• Resistance to thermal stress
• Crystal-clear visibility
• Long-term reliability

All glass used in the project was manufactured to comply with strict Australian Standards, providing complete peace of mind for the homeowners.

In the unlikely event of breakage, toughened safety glass is designed to fragment into small granular pieces rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury.

Premium Oil-Rubbed Gunmetal Black Hardware

To complement the bathroom’s modern aesthetic, all brackets, hinges, and fittings were supplied in an oil-rubbed gunmetal black finish.

This premium finish provided a sophisticated alternative to traditional chrome hardware and perfectly matched the existing black shower fixtures and accessories within the bathroom.

The hardware package included:

• Frameless pivot door hinges
• Wall-mounted glass brackets
• Corner screen fittings
• Matching handle and accessories

The gunmetal black finish created a striking contrast against the light-coloured wall tiles and stone flooring, adding depth and visual interest to the overall design.

Precision Shower Screen Installation Process

As with all custom shower screen projects, precise measurement and installation were critical to achieving a flawless result.

The Five Star Glass team began by conducting a detailed site measure to ensure every panel was manufactured to exact specifications. Particular attention was given to wall alignment, floor levels, and hinge positioning to guarantee smooth operation of the pivoting door.

Once the glass panels were manufactured, the installation team carefully positioned and secured each component using specialised fixing systems designed specifically for frameless glass applications.

The wall-hinged corner screen was installed to provide additional stability while maintaining the clean, minimalist appearance that the client desired.

The pivoting door was then adjusted and aligned to ensure effortless opening and closing while maintaining consistent clearances throughout the enclosure.

The Finished Result

The completed shower screen transformed the bathroom into a sophisticated, contemporary space that perfectly balanced style and functionality.

The frameless design showcased the quality finishes throughout the bathroom while creating a feeling of openness and luxury. The oil-rubbed gunmetal black hardware provided a striking visual feature that tied together the room’s modern design elements.

Most importantly, the homeowners received a durable, low-maintenance shower enclosure built to withstand years of daily use.
