Lead Times & The Installation Process
Typical timing assumes tiling and waterproofing are complete before measure.
| Step | What We Do | Typical Time | What We Need From You |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1) Free measure & quote | Check levels, squareness and layout | 20–30 minutes | Clear access; tiling & waterproofing finished |
| 2) Fabrication | Cut, toughen, pre-fit hardware | ~5–10 business days | Sign off on glass & hardware finishes |
| 3) Installation | Fit, align, silicone seal | 1–3 hours | Access to the bathroom; dry area |
| 4) Curing & handover | Final checks and care advice | 24 hours cure | Avoid using the shower during cure |
How to Choose the Right Screen (Practical Tips)
• Room size & door swing: sliding suits tight spaces; hinged is simplest where swing is clear.
• Cleaning & maintenance: frameless and walk-in have fewer ledges where soap scum builds.
• Style & finishes: match hardware to tapware (black, brass, chrome, brushed).
• Ventilation: extra-tall screens look great—ensure airflow to manage steam.
• Future-proofing: invest in quality hinges/rollers; they carry the daily load.
Care & Maintenance
• Squeegee after each use to reduce spotting.
• Use pH-neutral cleaners; avoid abrasives.
• Check hinges and rollers yearly; tighten if required.
• Reapply easy-clean coatings if water beading fades over time.
Compliance & Safety (Australian Standards)
Ezy Glide fabricates and installs to Australian Standards. You can ask to see the glass compliance stamp at handover.
| Standard / Requirement | What It Covers | What You Can Check |
|---|---|---|
| AS 1288 | Selection & installation of glass in wet areas | Correct thickness, fixing method, edge clearances |
| AS/NZS 2208 | Performance & labelling of safety glazing | Permanent compliance stamp on the glass |
| NCC wet-area / AS 3740 | Waterproofing & falls to waste | Waterproofing completed before screen install |
FAQs
How much does a frameless shower screen cost in Sydney in 2025?
Allow roughly $900–$1,700 supplied-and-installed for common frameless hinged setups. Larger spans, sliders and special finishes increase cost.
What glass thickness should I choose?
Frameless panels are typically 10 mm toughened. Semi-frameless and framed often use 6–8 mm to meet Australian Standards.
How long does installation take?
Most installs take 1–3 hours. Allow 24 hours for silicone to cure before use.
Do I need to finish tiling and waterproofing before measure?
Yes. We measure once tiling and waterproofing are complete so your glass is templated to the final openings and levels.
