Frameless Shower Panel Installation Blacks Beach

Installing 3 Frameless Glass Shower Panels

Case Study: Russcos Glazing Supplies and Installs Frameless Glass Shower Panels in Blacks Beach, Queensland

Russcos Glazing was engaged to supply and install three high-quality frameless glass shower panels for a newly renovated home in Blacks Beach, Queensland. The homeowners wanted a clean, modern aesthetic across all three bathrooms, with an emphasis on durability, functionality, and unobstructed visual flow. With their reputation for precision workmanship and custom glass solutions, Russcos Glazing was well-positioned to deliver a seamless result.

Project Brief and Client Objectives

The clients had recently upgraded the interiors of their coastal property and sought frameless shower screens that complemented the home’s minimalist styling. Their key objectives were:

• Achieving a modern, open feel in all three bathrooms
  
• Ensuring the glass installations were durable enough to withstand daily use
  
• Maintaining clean lines with minimal hardware
  
• Matching the hardware finishes with other bathroom fixtures
  
• Using high-quality toughened glass suitable for wet areas
  

Given these requirements, Russcos Glazing recommended 10mm clear toughened frameless glass panels with brushed nickel hardware, a finish that aligned perfectly with the home’s contemporary design palette.

Site Visit and Measurement Process

Every custom glazing project begins with accuracy, and Russcos carried out a detailed site visit to measure each bathroom space. Frameless installations require millimetre-perfect measurements to ensure the glass fits securely without unnecessary gaps or misalignment.

During this visit, the team assessed wall structure, floor levels, waterproofing, and the overall layout of each bathroom. This information allowed Russcos to provide a precise quote and determine the most appropriate fittings for each panel.

Custom Glass Panels Supplied

The project required three uniquely sized glass panels to suit the layout of each bathroom:

1. Panel 1 – 2075 x 450mm
   • Frameless fixed glass shower panel
     
   • Shelf fittings to the wall and floor
     
   • Designed for a compact shower recess with minimal hardware visible
2. Panel 2 – 2073 x 550mm
   • Similar configuration to Panel 1
     
   • Fixed glass panel with shelf fittings for added stability
     
   • Slightly wider to suit a different layout but maintaining the same clean aesthetic
3. Panel 3 – 2023 x 1688mm
   • A larger configuration incorporating a pivoting door
     
   • 700mm door width
     
   • Wall-to-glass fitting and hinges to the wall
     
   • Shelf fitting to the floor for additional support
     
   • Designed for the master bathroom, where more space allowed for a functional frameless door system

All glass was manufactured from 10mm clear toughened safety glass, offering strength, durability, and compliance with Australian Standards. The brushed nickel finish hardware complemented existing tapware and cabinetry throughout the home.

Installation and On-Site Execution

Russcos Glazing’s shower screen installation team carried out the work over a carefully planned schedule to limit disruption to the homeowners. The installation involved:

• Positioning and levelling each glass panel
  
• Installing discreet shelf fittings into the walls and floors
  
• Securing hardware with high-strength fixings suitable for wet areas
  
• Fitting the hinges and wall-to-glass components for the master bathroom door
  
• Ensuring all edges were perfectly aligned and silicone-sealed where required
  

The frameless nature of the glass required meticulous handling and expert installation techniques. Every panel had to sit precisely in place, supported only by minimal brackets and fittings. The team verified that each installation maintained structural integrity while preserving the sleek, floating aesthetic the clients desired.

Outcome and Client Satisfaction

The final result delivered three beautifully finished bathrooms, each enhanced by the clarity and sophistication of frameless glass. The clear 10mm toughened glass maximised natural light, making the spaces feel larger and more open, an ideal outcome for the coastal location.

The brushed nickel hardware tied in seamlessly with the home’s interior finishes, while the frameless edges created a high-end, resort-style look. The fixed panels in two bathrooms provided a modern minimalist appearance with extremely low maintenance requirements, while the hinged door in the master bathroom offered everyday practicality without compromising style.

The clients were extremely pleased with the final outcome, praising the accuracy of the measurements, the quality of materials, and the professionalism of the installation team. From initial site visit to final clean-down, Russcos Glazing delivered a streamlined, reliable service that met every design and functional requirement.
