Frosted Glass Shower Enclosure - London

This frosted glass shower enclosure shows how you can have both privacy and light in your bathroom. We sandblasted two-thirds of the glass face, leaving the top section clear to maintain the room's open feeling while creating privacy where it matters most.

Frosted Glass Shower Enclosure Privacy Design

Our frosted glass shower enclosure sits in the centre of this large London bathroom, positioned next to one of the tiled walls. The sandblasted section on the face hides the shower user from view while still letting light flow through, making it perfect for busy family bathrooms where multiple people need to use the space.

The partial frosting extends two-thirds up the glass panels, creating a smart privacy zone while keeping the top third clear. This design choice means the bathroom stays bright and open even when someone is showering, solving the common problem of dark shower cubicles.

Opaque Glass Shower Enclosure Installation Details

We installed this opaque glass shower enclosure using ceiling-recessed U-channels, sliding the glass panels into grooves cut into the ceiling. This secure mounting method removes the need for bulky brackets or frames, creating clean lines that match the modern bathroom design.

The 10mm clear glass with sandblasted finish connects directly to the white metal tray with just a 2mm gap, which we sealed and bonded for complete water-tightness. Our special UV-glue bonds the glass-to-glass edges invisibly, creating strong joints that look seamless to the eye.

Full Height Design Benefits

This full height frosted shower extends 2500mm from floor to ceiling, making the most of the bathroom's tall ceilings. We left a 150mm gap above the door for air flow, which helps prevent moisture build-up and allows the shower to dry properly after use.

The large 1100x1100mm shower tray provides plenty of room to move around comfortably. Our shower doors can swing both inward and outward 90 degrees, giving flexible access that works well when the bathroom has multiple users.

Privacy Without Sacrificing Light

The sandblasted privacy glass creates an opaque surface that blurs shapes while maintaining brightness in the shower area. This treatment works perfectly with the timber floors and modern fixtures, adding a soft, cloudy appearance that complements rather than dominates the bathroom design.

For maintenance, we applied our easy clean coating to all glass surfaces, which repels water spots and soap marks. This protective layer makes the frosted sections particularly easy to keep clean, as the textured surface naturally hides water marks better than clear three-sided shower enclosures.
