Frameless shower screens: the superior choice
Frameless shower screens stand out as the premier option for combining sturdiness, seamless function and easy cleaning in modern bathrooms. At Elder Glass we prioritise high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship so every installation meets the highest standards of durability and looks.
Premium glass
We exclusively use 10mm A-grade toughened safety glass that complies with Australian Standard AS 1288, for robust strength and shatter-resistant safety. Every edge is polished smooth. Our precision work targets 2–4mm gaps between walls, floors, panels and doors for a clean, watertight fit. Should any door gap measure 5mm or larger and compromise the look, we’ll replace the glass at no additional cost.
High-quality hardware
Our hardware is sourced from Estelle, a renowned Australian manufacturer, and we’re proud to be among the few Brisbane companies using their products. Brackets for 90-degree wall-to-glass connections have concealed fixings for a sleek look. Hinges come in glass-to-glass, glass-to-wall and custom-angle configurations to suit your layout, and there are over 20 handle options, from compact knobs to towel rails.

Superior silicone
For sealing we use GE sanitary clear silicone, a neutral-cure formula ideal for bathrooms because it resists yellowing over time, unlike acidic-cure alternatives. It takes 24 hours to fully cure, during which the screen shouldn’t be touched or used. When I’m working on more than one bathroom, I stagger the installations so you always have at least one working shower.
Frameless shower screen projects
FramelessBardon Residence
This 6-year-old bathroom had a framed shower screen with deteriorating seals and glass full of soap scum. We removed the old screen and installed a frameless shower screen with chrome hardware. The client wanted the glass to be easier to clean, so we added nano coating to the glass inside and out.
Dog-leg style, front-only configuration
FramelessKangaroo Point Residence
An 8-year-old apartment with a beaten-up semi-frameless shower screen. The client wanted a minimalist screen with no frame where water could be trapped. Both bathrooms were done, staggered a couple of days apart so there was always one working shower.
Two bathrooms, staggered installs
FramelessCoorparoo Residence
Being renovated to rent out while the owners go caravanning. The old screen was made from overseas standard-sized panels, with 20mm gaps either side of the door, a 100mm height difference between two panels and a door scraping across the tiles. A custom-made screen neatened the bathroom up.
Chrome Estelle hardware with D-handle
FramelessNewstead Residence
A renovated apartment bathroom only 1300mm wide, where the door had to miss both the toilet and the towel rail when opening. The custom-made screen clears both, with near misses on each.
