J & J Glass and Aluminium delivers premium glazing in Sydney, the latest shower screen trends for both residential and commercial projects.
As we approach the backend of 2023, it is an exciting time to explore the latest shower screen trends for both residential and commercial projects. Over the years, shower screens have become an essential part of modern bathrooms, providing both practical and aesthetic benefits. As a business that specialises in delivering premium glazing and aluminium solutions in Sydney, J & J Glass and Aluminium have seen the evolution of shower screens in both residential and commercial projects. In this blog post, we will take a look at the current shower screen trends for 2023 and compare them to the past.
In the past, shower screens in residential projects were mainly functional, with little emphasis on aesthetics. However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more elegant and stylish shower screens that can complement the overall bathroom design. As homeowners increasingly look for ways to create a spa-like atmosphere in their bathrooms, the demand for luxurious and modern shower screens has increased.
One of the most significant residential shower screen trends is the use of frameless shower screens. Frameless shower screens have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their sleek and minimalist design. These screens provide an unobstructed view of the shower area, making the bathroom look more spacious and inviting. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for homeowners.
Another trend in residential shower screens is the use of coloured glass. While clear glass has been the traditional choice for shower screens, coloured glass can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the bathroom. Coloured glass can also be used to create a unique and personalised look, allowing Sydney homeowners to express their individual style.
At J & J Glass and Aluminium, innovations in shower screen technology have also contributed to the evolution of residential shower screens. One of the most significant innovations is the use of self-cleaning glass. Self-cleaning glass is coated with a thin layer of titanium dioxide, which reacts with sunlight to break down dirt and grime, making the glass easy to clean. This technology has made maintaining shower screens much more manageable for homeowners, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and excessive scrubbing.
At J & J Glass and Aluminium, we understand commercial shower screens have different requirements than residential shower screens, mainly due to the higher traffic and usage they receive. In the past, commercial shower screens were often made from simple and durable materials, with little attention given to design. However, in recent years, the demand for stylish and modern shower screens in commercial projects has increased, leading to new trends and innovations.
One of the most significant commercial shower screen trends is the use of durable and impact-resistant glass. Commercial shower screens need to withstand heavy usage and potential damage, making it essential to use glass that can withstand impact and breakage. Laminated glass, which is made up of multiple layers of glass and plastic, is an excellent option for commercial shower screens, providing durability and safety.
Another trend in commercial shower screens is the use of modular systems. Modular shower screens are made up of individual panels that can be easily replaced or modified, making them a practical choice for commercial projects. These screens also allow for customisation, allowing designers to create unique and functional shower areas that meet the specific needs of the project.
Innovations in shower screen technology have also improved commercial shower screens’ functionality and safety. One of the most significant innovations is the use of anti-slip coatings on shower screens’ surfaces. These coatings provide a slip-resistant surface, reducing the risk of slips and falls in the shower area. Additionally, shower screens can now be designed with safety features such as tempered glass, which is heat-treated to provide increased strength and safety.
As a business that has been delivering premium glazing and aluminium solutions in Sydney for many years, J & J Glass and Aluminium have seen significant changes and improvements in the production of shower screens.
In the past, producing shower screens was a time-consuming and labour-intensive process. Shower screens were often made from tempered glass, which was cut and polished by hand, making it a lengthy and expensive process. However, with the introduction of new technologies and manufacturing processes, producing shower screens has become much more efficient and cost-effective.
One of the most significant innovations in shower screen production is the use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). CAD/CAM technology allows for precise measurements and designs, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring that shower screens fit perfectly in the bathroom. This technology also allows for complex designs and shapes, allowing designers to create unique and personalised shower screens for their clients.
Another innovation in shower screen production is the use of automation. Automated production lines have significantly reduced the time and labour required to produce shower screens. These lines can cut, shape, and polish glass quickly and accurately, reducing waste and increasing productivity.
In addition to technological innovations, there have also been significant changes in the materials used in shower screen production. In the past, shower screens were typically made from tempered glass, which provided strength and safety. However, new materials such as laminated glass, which is made up of multiple layers of glass and plastic, provide even greater strength and durability, making them an excellent choice for commercial and high-traffic areas.
As we approach 2023, shower screen trends and innovations continue to evolve, providing homeowners and designers with more options than ever before. The use of frameless shower screens, coloured glass, and self-cleaning glass has become increasingly popular in residential projects, while commercial projects have seen an increase in the use of durable and impact-resistant glass and modular systems.
In the production of shower screens, new technologies such as CAD/CAM and automation have made the process more efficient and cost-effective, while new materials such as laminated glass provide greater strength and durability.
