Replace and Install a Shower Panel

Russcos Glazing Supplies and Installs Decina Shower Screen Panel at Eton Home

At Russcos Glazing, we pride ourselves on delivering reliable, high-quality glazing solutions for homes across Queensland, whether it’s large custom window installations or smaller but equally important bathroom upgrades. Recently, our team was called to a home in Eton, Queensland, where we were engaged to replace and supply a new Decina shower screen panel. This project not only refreshed the look of the homeowner’s bathroom but also restored functionality and safety to their shower space.

Project Overview

The homeowners in Eton contacted Russcos Glazing after their existing shower screen panel had become damaged and worn over time. It had developed signs of age, including leaks and difficulty cleaning due to scratches and soap build-up. They wanted to replace the panel with a modern, durable option that would complement their bathroom’s existing design while providing a safer, more functional showering area.

After discussing their needs, we recommended a Decina shower screen panel known for its sleek design, excellent durability, and ease of maintenance. The replacement panel measured 2000mm in height and 900mm in width, perfectly suited to the shower recess space in the bathroom.

Decina Shower Panel: A Premium Choice

Decina is a trusted name in bathroom products and is well-known for its high-quality, Australian-made shower screens. Decina shower panels are designed with both practicality and style in mind, offering smooth finishes, minimalistic lines, and toughened safety glass that meets Australian standards.

For this Eton home, the chosen shower panel featured:

• Toughened Safety Glass: The panel was made from toughened glass, providing enhanced durability and safety. Toughened glass is much stronger than standard glass and, if broken, shatters into small, blunt pieces to minimise injury risk.
• Modern Frameless Appearance: The replacement shower screen provided a clean, frameless look that immediately updated the bathroom’s aesthetic, creating a more open and spacious feel.
• Low Maintenance: The smooth glass surface and frameless design reduce soap scum build-up and make cleaning much easier, which was a significant improvement over the previous screen.

Expert Shower Panel Installation by Russcos Glazing

At Russcos Glazing, we understand that the quality of the installation is just as important as the quality of the product itself. Our experienced team handled the entire process with precision, ensuring the new Decina shower screen panel was fitted correctly and safely.

The process began with the careful removal of the old, damaged panel, ensuring that the existing tiles and fixtures were not affected. Once the space was cleaned and prepped, we installed the new Decina panel using high-quality fittings and seals to provide a secure, waterproof finish.

During the shower panel installation, our team paid particular attention to achieving a perfect fit to avoid water leakage and to ensure the screen would remain sturdy and stable for years to come. We also checked that the panel was properly aligned and securely fastened to provide safe, long-term use.

Before leaving, we tested the installation thoroughly to ensure there were no issues with water sealing, and we provided the homeowners with care instructions to help maintain the panel’s clear, polished look over time.

Benefits to the Homeowners

The replacement of the shower screen panel delivered immediate improvements to the Eton home’s bathroom. The most noticeable benefit was the visual transformation; the modern Decina panel opened up the space, making the bathroom feel brighter and less confined. Frameless and semi-frameless panels like the Decina model help create the illusion of a larger room by reducing visual clutter.

The homeowners also benefited from increased safety thanks to the toughened glass, which is much more resistant to breaking under normal use compared to older, thinner glass panels.

In addition, the easy-to-clean surface provided a practical advantage. Unlike older screens with visible frames and tracks that easily collect grime and mould, the Decina panel’s sleek design made it much easier to maintain a hygienic shower space.

Perhaps most importantly, the new shower screen restored the functionality of the shower area, eliminating previous concerns about water leaking onto the bathroom floor and creating a safer, more enjoyable daily routine for the homeowners.
