Compliance & Safety
Our bespoke shower screens are manufactured from BS EN 12150 toughened safety glass, ensuring they meet the strict safety requirements for glass used in buildings.
Toughened glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass and, in the rare event of breakage, fragments into small blunt pieces that significantly reduce the risk of injury.
All glass is processed and manufactured in line with British safety standards for architectural glass applications.
Glass shower screens – types and compatible fittings
Here at Express Toughening, we supply bespoke, UK-made glass panels for a range of shower configurations. Each is manufactured to your dimensions, with the fittings you intend to use.
Shower panels
Fixed glass shower screens are ideal for walk-in showers and wet rooms, offering a clean, frameless appearance.
Recommended thickness guidance
Thicker glass improves rigidity and reduces deflection on wider panels, keeping areas around the shower dry from splashes and spills.
For this reason, we recommend:
- Up to 1000mm wide – 8mm
- 1000–1400mm – 10mm
- Larger or unsupported spans – 12mm or above
Compatible accessories
To deliver the uninterrupted aesthetic, a range of compatible accessories will be needed, including:
- Wall channels or U-channels
- Glass clamps
- Straight or angled stabiliser bars
- Floor brackets
- Clear PVC seals
- Optional polymer protective coating
Glass shower doors
Manufactured using bespoke toughened glass, these bespoke glass shower doors are suitable for recessed enclosures, inline panels, and corner installations.
Recommended thickness guidance
For most doors, 8mm or 10mm thicknesses will be sufficient. However, for larger or heavier designs, 10mm or 12mm is considered a better choice.
Compatible accessories
- Wall-mounted hinges
- Pivot hinges
- Glass-to-glass hinges
- Handles and knobs
- Magnetic seals and threshold strips
Hinged shower screens
Common in smaller bathrooms or when a shower is placed above the bath, hinged glass shower screens provide flexibility and a modern finish.
Recommended thickness guidance
These screens are generally manufactured using 8mm or 10mm toughened glass, depending on the sizing required.
Compatible accessories
- Soft-close or standard hinges
- Wall profiles
- Bottom deflectors
- Clear seals
Shower screen fittings and glass preparation
All bespoke glass shower screens from Express Toughening are supplied with:
- Polished corners (included as standard)
- Radius coners
- Notches and cut-outs
- Drilled hinge and handles
As all machining is completed prior to the toughening process, it is essential that you carefully select and double-check every aspect of your order prior to submitting it. Toughened glass panels cannot be cut or altered after.

Are toughened glass shower screens safe?
All of our bespoke glass shower screens are safe because they are manufactured from thermally toughened safety glass.
If the glass screens were to break, though unlikely, the toughening process means the glass will shatter into small, blunt fragments instead of sharp shards.
Does Express Toughening install shower screens?
No, Express Toughening Ltd is a manufacturer and supplier of bespoke glass shower screens. For this reason, we don’t offer in-house installation.
Most customers arrange fitting through their preferred bathroom installer or contractor.
What shapes of bespoke glass shower screens are available?
You can choose from a range of glass shapes, right from our UK-based manufacturers, including:
- Rectangular panels
- Raked or sloped tops
- Cut-off corners
- Notched glass
- Fully bespoke shapes from technical drawings
Can cut-outs and drilled holes be included?
Absolutely. We CNC machine all hinge holes, handle holes, sockets, and notches before the toughening process.
For this reason, all measurements must be confirmed before production.
What are the benefits of polymer coatings on glass shower screens?
A polymer coating brings many benefits to bathroom-based applications, including:
- Improving water repellence
- Reducing limescale adhesions
- Maintaining clarity
As such, with proper maintenance and cleaning, polymer-coated shower screens can last for 5-10 years easily.
