Made to Your Bathroom, Not to a Catalogue
Few bathrooms are truly square. Walls lean, tiles bow, and floors fall towards the waste. A screen bought off a shelf has to be packed out and siliconed into the gaps, which is where untidy lines and slow leaks begin. We make custom shower screens across Melbourne to the measurements we take on site, so the panel follows the tiling and the floor. Made-to-measure glass shower screens across Melbourne sit flush and seal properly.
Choose Your Style
The three styles we make. Every screen is measured to your bathroom and made in our own factory.
Three styles cover almost every bathroom. Each has its own look and its own trade-offs.
Frameless
Toughened panels held by minimal hardware, with no frame and no top track, so nothing interrupts the tiling or the light. Suits walk-in showers and renovations where the shower should read as part of the room. Frameless shower screens in Melbourne homes are the style we are asked for most.
Trade-offs: the dearest of the three, and the least forgiving of out-of-square walls.
Semi-Frameless
A slim frame on the fixed panel with a frameless door: most of the open look, with the frame absorbing small variations in the walls. Suits family bathrooms, ensuites and rental properties, and is generally the more economical of the two.
Trade-off: a visible frame edge, far slimmer than a fully framed screen.
Sliding
Panels on a track, so nothing swings out into the room. Suits ensuites, alcoves and small bathrooms where a hinged door would foul the vanity.
Trade-offs: only half the opening is ever clear, and the track needs an occasional wipe out so grit does not slow the rollers.
Black-Framed
Matte black framing to match black tapware, with the same tolerance for imperfect walls as semi-frameless.

Every screen uses toughened safety glass, made and installed to AS 1288, the Australian Standard for glass in buildings. Toughening puts the surfaces under compression, so the panel is far stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness and, if it ever does fail, breaks into small blunt granules rather than long shards. Star Glass is AGWA accredited, our glaziers are licensed in Victoria and fully insured, and your glass is cut and toughened in our own factory.
Hardware, Seals and Finishes
The glass is what you look at. The hardware decides how the screen feels in five years.
Hardware comes in a range of finishes, so your screen can be matched to your tapware. We will run through the options when we quote.
- Hinges carry the weight of a glass door and set how it closes. On a frameless screen they are also the main wall fixing, which is why the substrate behind the tiles matters.
- Handles are through-fixed to the glass and are the one part you touch daily.
- Seals and water bars keep water inside the shower. They are a wearing part by design and simple to replace once they harden.
Measure, Make, Install
Because we handle shower screen installation across Melbourne ourselves, there is one point of contact from the first measure to the final adjustment.
- Free measure and quote. We check the walls, the floor fall and the tapware positions, and talk through frameless, semi-frameless and sliding in the actual room. One quote covers supply and install.
- Made in our own factory. Your panels are cut, toughened and finished at Dandenong South to the measurements we took. Nothing is subcontracted out.
- Installed by our own glaziers. Shower screen installation in Melbourne is carried out by the same Star Glass team: fixings set properly, silicone run cleanly, doors adjusted to close square.
Looking After Your Screen
What ages a screen is rarely the glass. It is soap scum, hard-water marks and neglected seals.
Looked after, a well-made shower screen in Melbourne homes will outlast the tiling around it.
- Squeegee the glass after each shower, so the film never builds up.
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth. Abrasive pads scratch glass permanently.
- Ventilate the room afterwards so the moisture leaves.
- Wipe out sliding tracks. Grit and soap residue are what make rollers stick.
- Check hinges and seals now and then. Caught early, both are small jobs.
A frosted band gives privacy without closing the room in.

Shower Screen Questions
What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless?
Frameless has no surrounding frame, just toughened panels and minimal hardware. Semi-frameless keeps a slim frame on the fixed panel, which is more forgiving of walls that are not quite square.
How much does a shower screen cost?
Shower screens start from $999, fully installed. As a guide, a single fixed panel is $999 to $1,499, a standard two-panel screen with a door is $1,499 to $1,999, and a corner, three-sided or oversized screen is $1,499 to $2,499. Your exact price is confirmed after a free measure.
Are your shower screens custom made?
Yes. Every screen is measured in your bathroom and made to those measurements in our own factory. We do not fit stock sizes and pack out the difference.
What glass do you use?
Toughened safety glass, made and installed to AS 1288. It breaks into small blunt granules rather than sharp shards.
Do you install, or supply only?
Both. Our own licensed glaziers fit every screen we make, so one business is responsible for the finished job.
Which style suits a small ensuite?
Usually sliding, because no door swings into the room. We will look at the layout on site and tell you honestly what will fit.
Can you replace the glass in an existing screen?
Sometimes, depending on the screen and whether matching hardware is still available. Show us what you have and we will tell you either way.
How do I stop the glass going cloudy?
Squeegee after each shower, clean with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, and ventilate the room. Abrasive pads leave permanent scratches that hold soap scum.
Is the work guaranteed, and do you service my area?
Yes, with a genuine lifetime guarantee. We install right across Melbourne from our factory at 220 Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Dandenong South.
