The partition for the bathroom is practical, convenient and stylish.

The cost of the partition is much more than conventional curtains. But it will serve you for many years.

Widely used simple curtains are not so popular anymore. Basically they were taken because of the low price. Such an element of protection in comparison with screens is a losing option.
When choosing a screen for your bathroom, the first thing to do is make the right measurements.
For proper selection of the screen you need to adhere to some rules. First of all, you need to make measurements, and when choosing, take into account that there is a gap for ventilation between the ceiling and the top of the screen. With uneven wall partitions or the presence of distortions, it is worth choosing screens that have adjustable loops. The footage of the room also matters.
If you are installing a bath screen for the first time, it is better to build a frame single-leaf fixed structure - it is absolutely functional, but does not cause much trouble with installation.
Transparent designs are ideal for small bathtubs. If the bathroom is combined, multi-colored screens or with a matte finish are most suitable. But in this case additional lighting is required.
In spacious rooms it is better to install "accordions" or swing screens.
The strength and durability of the screen depends on the quality of the fittings (fasteners, rollers, hinges) and proper installation. Here you must follow the instructions, be accurate and accurate.
The design structures are very different, there are tinted, transparent, with a pattern, matte, partially cover the bath or completely, while it turns out like a shower.
Due to the fact that such a product can be made with your own hands, it is very popular among homeowners.
Today the bathroom cannot be imagined without this subject.A screen can significantly change the appearance of a room for the better, create a harmonious design. When choosing the color of the screen, the degree of transparency, rely on your taste, and also take into account the color scheme of the bathroom and plumbing.
Glass without a frame needs to be handled carefully, because it is heavy and rather fragile, but the result is worth all the effort.
Not everyone prefers dark tones, which also visually reduce the room. The opaque partition will look bulky. The fashion for bright large patterns passes quickly, in addition, such a design of the screen soon becomes boring.
Without exception, all partitions are divided into the following main aspects: how the screen opens, design features, what material was used for production.
It is not necessary to buy such a construction - you can build a screen with your own hands.
There are three types of screens.
More suitable for corner baths. Preferably installed in large rooms.
Suitable for all types of bathtubs, convenient to use, do not take up much space.
Suitable for round and oval bathtubs.
The structure of the screens can be:
Frameless. Such screens have several parts, the frame is missing. For their manufacture using tempered glass, the corners are rounded. Movable sections are made of thin glass, stationary sections are made of thick glass.
It features a lack of aluminum frames. Represents one canvas rounded on the sides.
Wireframe. The design has a supporting frame and sections (from about 2 to 6), one of them in the form of a leaf that moves to the side. Install the screen on the side racks and use rails to attach to the bathtub.
They are an aluminum structure with thin glass or plastic. May consist of one or more wings.
In a combined combination of these two types of screens. Here, one of the parts on the profile is partially fixed, which allows you to open or close it.
They are classified into several types, depending on the method of closing:
Screen for the bathroom - this system is very durable and at the same time simple. Their design changes regularly, but the mechanism of action is the same. Now everything is being done in order to use them comfortably. Before they were installed not to avoid splashing water during washing, but to decorate the room. Mostly they were wooden. Now these designs are made of glass and plastic.
Very often use transparent panels that simulate real glass.
The glass used for screens is strong enough to last for many years. Such screens look great, and also environmentally friendly. You do not have to worry about health due to harmful emissions and fumes. Caring for her is easy.
Glass is an aesthetic material that, even after many years of use, does not lose its attractiveness.
On a note. Glass is widely used by designers in the interior design of the bathroom.Shelves, sinks from it are increasingly in demand, despite the high cost.
If you decide to make a screen of glass, choose the triplex option - it is much stronger than its analogues and in case of deformation does not crumble into fragments.
Different colors and textures allow you to choose a screen for any bathroom. Previously, the glass was matte, “speckled” or colorless. Now they produce patterned, colored, tinted.
The material does not contribute to the formation of fungus in the bathroom and is very easy to clean.
A transparent glass screen for the bathroom is suitable for any interior, while maintaining the integrity of the space. Matte divides the room into zones, protects from prying eyes. Colored or patterned - a wonderful element of decor, is a bright accent in the design of the bathroom.
The number of color shades of opaque canvases is simply amazing in its variety.
But there are also disadvantages to glass screens. Under heavy mechanical stress, damage may occur. It will be difficult to mount a screen with uneven walls or if the bath has a curved profile. It is better to install plastic ones.
Such a screen will cost much cheaper. It can be installed even with uneven walls and cope with this work without outside help. There are also transparent screens made of plastic, as if under glass. Opaque ones are presented in a wide range of colors; it will not be difficult to choose the best option.
Plastic is a practical material that attracts with its low cost.
The disadvantage of such a screen is that it quickly becomes polluted, and constant care is required. It is not recommended to use abrasive products for washing, only mild ones. In addition, plastic is not an environmentally friendly material. Since the temperature difference is observed in the bathroom, it emits harmful substances. This is also unfavorable for the appearance, over time it deteriorates and a replacement of the screen is required. Easy to bend this material.
Plus plastic - a huge variety of colors and decor.
If you want to make a screen yourself, go for it, it’s not so difficult, it will not require large expenses and a certain skill.
So, you will need: colorless plastic panels, aluminum profile of the required meter, fasteners, handle, sealant. In addition, you will need a puncher and nozzles for it, a saw or a grinder, an office knife, a screwdriver, a building level, a pencil, a measuring bar or tape measure.
First of all, we measure the future screen, taking into account that between the top of the structure and the ceiling, a gap is required for the passage of air. Then we make outlines on the material, cut out the details. The edges must be cleaned and the handle fixed.
From the profile we prepare the guides of the desired size.
On the wall partitions, we outline the fixation points of the guides, for this we use the construction level. We make holes with a puncher, on the dowels we attach a profile to the wall partition, having previously applied sealant to it.
We fix one of the guides on the sealant to the side of the bathtub, let it dry well.
After a while, we check whether all the elements are securely fixed, then insert a part of the plastic panel into the formed frame.
We check that it does not stagger and freely glides along the guides.
