Frequently Asked Questions
What are the safety requirements for glass in bathrooms?
In Australia, all glass used in bathrooms must comply with safety standards outlined in AS 1288. This means the glass must be either toughened or laminated to prevent serious injury if broken. Toughened glass is heat-treated for strength and, if shattered, breaks into small, blunt fragments. Laminated glass holds together even when cracked, thanks to an interlayer between two sheets. These safety measures apply to shower screens, mirrors and any low-set glass panels. Using compliant safety glass is essential for occupant protection and legal compliance. Always ensure your installer uses certified products and follows correct fixing and spacing methods.
How do I choose the right mirror for my bathroom or bedroom?
Choosing the right mirror involves more than just selecting a size. Consider the shape, frame style, lighting and how the mirror will be used. In bathrooms, a large, wall-mounted mirror can open up the space and improve lighting. For bedrooms or wardrobes, full-length mirrors provide function and a sense of depth. Frameless mirrors offer a clean, modern look, while framed options add decorative appeal. You can also opt for bevelled edges or polished finishes depending on your style. Custom mirrors can be cut to size and shape, ensuring a perfect fit for vanities, niches or feature walls in any room.
How do I maintain shower screens and mirrors for long-lasting clarity?
Regular cleaning is the key to keeping shower screens and mirrors looking their best. Use a soft cloth or squeegee to remove water after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum. Clean weekly with a non-abrasive glass cleaner or a mix of vinegar and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or rough sponges that can damage glass or coatings. For stubborn build-up, apply a gentle paste cleaner approved for glass surfaces. Frames and fittings should also be wiped down regularly to prevent corrosion, especially in humid bathrooms. With simple, consistent care, your glass features will remain clear and functional for years.
Frameless Shower Screens
Frameless shower screens bring a sleek, minimalist finish to bathrooms in Cairns. With no bulky framing, they create a seamless, open feel that enhances the sense of space. Crafted from toughened safety glass and fixed with discreet hardware, these screens suit both modern and classic interiors. We measure and custom-build each unit for a flawless fit. Ideal for luxury renovations or high-end developments, our frameless designs combine sophistication, functionality and durability in the humid tropical climate.
Semi-Frameless Shower Screens
Semi-frameless shower screens are a practical and stylish choice for Cairns properties. Offering a balance between the sleek look of frameless glass and the support of minimal framing, they suit a range of bathroom layouts. These screens provide a clean finish without compromising structural integrity. We custom build each screen to suit your space and install with precision. Whether you're renovating or building new, a semi-frameless option is a smart middle ground for function and aesthetics.
Fully Framed Shower Screens
Fully framed shower screens are a durable and cost-effective solution for bathrooms in Cairns. Designed for stability and long-term use, these screens feature a full perimeter frame made from corrosion-resistant aluminium. They’re ideal for high-traffic bathrooms, investment properties and commercial use. We offer a variety of frame finishes and glass types to suit your preferences. Each unit is custom made to your measurements and professionally installed. A practical choice that doesn’t compromise on style.
Fixed Panels
Fixed glass panels offer a clean, minimalist alternative to hinged or sliding shower screens. These panels are ideal for walk-in showers and open-plan bathrooms in Cairns, creating a modern look with minimal framing. Built from thick, toughened safety glass, fixed panels are secure, easy to clean and highly durable in steamy environments. We custom size each panel to fit your layout and install with quality hardware for a streamlined result. A perfect choice for functional simplicity.

Custom mirrors are both decorative and practical in bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways and commercial spaces across Cairns. We supply and install mirrors in a wide range of sizes and edge finishes, from sleek frameless panels to framed statement pieces. All mirrors are cut to order, with options for wall mounting, recessing or sliding wardrobe integration. Whether you need a full-width vanity mirror or a feature installation, we’ll craft something that complements your space and reflects natural light beautifully.
