Glass Splashback for Shower Wall?

Hello all,

My wife is thinking of using glass splashback as the walls for the shower - she hates cleaning grout, so do I really.

Anythoughts or comments on using this material in the shower???

Thanks

Steveo…this is done a lot now, and I agree it cuts down on the cleaning!

My brother put it in his shower and loves!

My opinion, do it, it’s a nice feature to the room also.

Some of these pics look fantastic! Personally, I like the chocolate coloured ones.

I would have done it if only the cost wasn't an issue - from memory it's about $450/m2. Compare that with tiles... :shock:

The chocolate is very 'lush' looking, beautiful !!!!!

As well as having the joins. But i suppose a standard size shower probably would only need 1 sheet on each side anyway.

But if money was no option, i'd do it.

what about the perspex style alternative someone else mentioned in the kitchen section?

a lot more economical and hopefully durable enough for a shower. Never seen it used myself but sounds like a good idea. I like tiles... but I don't like cleaning grout

Fantastic thanks all for your feedback ! looks like glass it is for a bit of cleaning sanity :-)

Mick - would not go the perspex option - due to it being softer material- however - if your perspex - whatever it is scratched - use brasso to make it clean and shiny again.
Glass in a shower is nice thought - but think about the water deposits that show on a glass door. :?:
