How to Measure for a Bespoke Shower Screen – Expert Guide

Overview

Accurate measurements are critical to achieving a perfect fit.
To ensure screens are installed correctly, we require tight dimensions—these are precise measurements taken from the finished surfaces where the screens will be fitted. This approach eliminates potential errors caused by factors such as tile or adhesive bed thickness, or walls that aren't perfectly straight. This is especially important for screens installed on shower trays, where tiling down onto the tray can reduce its usable dimensions.

With these tight measurements, we can make all necessary adjustments to guarantee a flawless fit the first time. If a panel is particularly challenging to measure, we’re also able to work from a physical template.
Here are a few examples;
