Shower Over Bath

If you are installing an overbath shower then you will need some sort of device to keep the water from splashing out onto the bathroom floor.

The traditional methods have been to install a bath shower screen or a shower curtain, but now there is a third option thanks to a recent launch of the Out-A-Sight shower barrier - we have plenty of information on all three.

Bath shower screens are simple and relatively effective method of protecting the bathroom floor from water egress during showering. Usually these are just screwed to the wall at the shower/tap end of the bath. There are several different types with the single glass panel option being the most common (and cheapest). They usually pivot via a hinge on the wall bracket to allow access to the taps and to help with cleaning but they cannot usually be folded back flat against the wall so they are always on view.

Shower curtains are the traditional way of keeping shower water inside a bath and they are still very popular as they are inexpensive and effective. There are many different shaped rails and rods to help ensure that the curtain can be used whatever the situation or shape of the room. The main downside of shower curtains is that they are always visible and are bit obtrusive.

A newer alternative to these two options is the Outasight which is a concealed shower curtain system. This fits on the wall at the tap end of the bath and opens out to ensure that when you shower over the bath a large proportion of the bath is covered by the barrier.
