Shower Screen Red Flags: What to Look For Before You Buy

Shower Screen Red Flags: What to Look For Before You Buy

Swing door. Sliding door. Folding door.

Most people pick the one they like, find the cheapest quote, and call it done.

But before you do that — here are 3 things worth considering:

1) Assessories & Hardware

 

Shower screens are in constant contact with water. So if the accessories aren't rust-proof, you're setting yourself up for a headache down the road.

 

Is it easy or risky to DIY change toilet glass hinges in Singapore?

Replacing rusted fittings isn't as simple as swapping parts. The installer has to remove the entire screen, replace the fittings, then reinstall everything. 

That's two trips, two labour charges — yes, you're paying double.

Here's something most people don't realise: the glass itself usually costs less than the installation fee.

So don't let rust be the reason you pay twice. Go for Grade 304 stainless steel or aluminium accessories from the start.

2) Maintenance

Option A: Wipe the glass down thoroughly after every shower.

Easy if you have a helper at home.

3) Safety

 

Every shower screen sold in Malaysia — 100% of them — uses tempered glass. And tempered glass carries a risk of spontaneous shattering.

If you have elderly family members or young kids at home, that's not a risk to take lightly.

Ore offers a solution where even if the glass shatters, it won't fall to the ground — keeping your family safe.

Don't just shop by style and price.

Think long-term. Cover these 3 points, and you won't be spending money twice.
