Glass Screen Dubai
A glass screen is a simple way to separate a shower or bathtub area without making the bathroom feel closed or crowded. When properly measured and positioned, a fixed glass panel can help control water splash while maintaining an open, modern appearance.
IST Works L.L.C provides custom glass screens in Dubai for apartments, villas and other residential and commercial properties. Our solutions include fixed shower glass screens, frameless panels, walk-in shower screens, bathtub glass screens and made-to-measure bathroom glass.
Instead of relying only on standard sizes, we can plan the glass around the actual dimensions of your bathroom.
Whether you are creating a new walk-in shower, replacing an old screen or adding glass beside an existing bathtub, our team can assist with measurement, glass specification, fabrication and professional installation.
Shower glass solutions typically range from AED 750 to AED 2,250, while bathtub glass screens range from approximately AED 650 to AED 1,550.
Custom Glass Screens for Bathrooms in Dubai
Bathrooms are rarely identical.
The shower position, wall dimensions, floor level, tiles, bathtub, vanity and other fixtures all influence how a glass screen should be designed.
For this reason, a glass panel should not be selected only because its dimensions appear close to the available opening.
We consider the actual bathroom layout and how the shower will be used before confirming the proposed glass dimensions and fixing method.
For some bathrooms, a single fixed panel provides the practical separation required. Other spaces may benefit from a larger walk-in screen, bathtub panel or a more complete shower enclosure.
Types of Glass Screens We Install
Fixed Shower Glass Screen
A fixed glass screen consists of a stationary glass panel positioned beside the shower area.
There is no door to open or slide.
This makes it one of the simplest ways to create separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.
Fixed screens can work particularly well where the shower has sufficient depth and the panel can be positioned to help control splash without restricting access.
Frameless Glass Screen
A frameless glass screen creates a minimal appearance by reducing the amount of visible framing around the glass.
Depending on the installation, the panel may be secured using suitable channels, brackets or supporting hardware.
The result can work particularly well in contemporary bathrooms where tiles and other finishes are intended to remain visually prominent.
Walk-In Shower Glass Screen
A walk-in shower screen typically uses a fixed glass panel while leaving an open entrance into the shower area.
There is no need to operate a door each time the shower is used.
This can create a spacious appearance, but the dimensions and position of the panel matter.
A screen that is too small or poorly positioned may not provide adequate splash control. We therefore consider the shower head position, available shower depth and bathroom layout when planning the panel.
Bathtub Glass Screen
A bathtub glass screen provides a more permanent alternative to a shower curtain where a bathtub is also used for showering.
The screen is positioned along the bathtub to help contain water while maintaining a clean bathroom appearance.
Depending on the requirement, the design may use a straightforward fixed panel or another suitable custom configuration.
Our estimated price for bathtub glass is AED 650 to AED 1,550, depending on dimensions, glass specification, design and hardware.
Corner Glass Screen
Some shower areas require glass on more than one side.
A corner configuration can use two glass panels to define the shower area while maintaining an open appearance.
The exact arrangement depends on the shower position and available bathroom dimensions.
Custom-Size Bathroom Glass Screens
Standard-size screens do not work for every bathroom.
For unusual openings, larger showers or specific interior designs, glass can be prepared according to confirmed measurements.
Custom sizing allows the screen to be planned around the actual finished bathroom rather than trying to adapt the bathroom to a standard glass panel.

Glass Screen Price in Dubai
The cost of a bathroom glass screen depends on its size, glass specification, hardware and installation requirements.
Our current estimated ranges are:
| Glass Solution | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Shower Glass / Enclosure | AED 750 – AED 2,250 |
| Bathtub Glass Screen | AED 650 – AED 1,550 |
These prices are provided as initial estimates rather than fixed quotations.
A simple fixed panel and a complete multi-panel shower enclosure have different glass, hardware and installation requirements. The final quotation is therefore based on the actual project.
What Affects the Cost of a Glass Screen?
Glass Size
The width and height of the panel affect the amount of glass required and may influence the supporting hardware.
Glass Specification
The appropriate glass type and thickness depend on the dimensions, application and support arrangement.
Number of Panels
A single fixed screen generally has different material requirements from a corner or multi-panel configuration.
Hardware
Channels, brackets, support bars and other fittings can affect both the appearance and total cost.
Glass Finish
Clear, frosted and other suitable finishes may have different specifications and pricing.
Custom Fabrication
Special dimensions, cut-outs or other custom requirements can affect fabrication.
Installation Conditions
Existing tiles, walls, shower trays, bathtubs, access and fixing locations can influence the installation.
Get an Initial Glass Screen Estimate
For many projects, you can start the quotation process without immediately arranging a site visit.
Send us:
- A clear photo of the shower or bathtub
- Approximate width
- Approximate height
- Your Dubai location
- Your preferred design
- A reference image if available
Our team can review the requirement and provide an initial estimate where possible.
Final measurements may be required before custom glass is fabricated.
Glass Screen vs Shower Door: What’s the Difference?
A glass screen is generally a fixed panel that does not open or close.
A shower door is a moving glass panel that provides access through a swing or sliding mechanism.
The right option depends on the bathroom.
A fixed glass screen may be suitable for a walk-in shower where there is enough space to leave an open entrance.
A shower door may be more appropriate where a more enclosed shower area is needed or where the layout requires an opening panel.
Some shower enclosures combine both: one or more fixed glass screens together with a swing or sliding door.
If you specifically require a moving entrance, our Shower Door Installation in Dubai service covers custom swing and sliding shower-door solutions.
Does a Walk-In Shower Need a Door?
Not necessarily.
A walk-in shower can use a fixed glass screen without a door if the bathroom layout provides suitable access and the shower area is large enough for the proposed configuration.
The position of the shower head, panel width and shower depth are particularly important.
The objective is to maintain easy access while helping prevent unnecessary water splash into the rest of the bathroom.
For smaller spaces, a more enclosed configuration may be practical.
How Wide Should a Shower Glass Screen Be?
There is no single width that is correct for every shower.
The suitable panel size depends on factors such as:
- Overall shower dimensions
- Shower-head position
- Direction of water flow
- Available entrance width
- Floor and drainage arrangement
- Position of nearby fixtures
- Desired level of splash protection
This is why we prefer to assess the actual bathroom dimensions instead of recommending one standard screen width for every customer.
Made-to-Measure Glass Screens
Custom glass requires accurate measurements.
Bathroom walls may appear straight but can vary slightly after plastering and tiling. Floor levels and shower curbs can also affect the finished dimensions.
For a made-to-measure screen, measurements can be confirmed after the relevant bathroom surfaces are finished.
This allows the glass to be fabricated according to the actual installation area.
Tempered Glass for Shower Screens
Tempered safety glass is commonly used for shower and bathroom glass applications.
The appropriate glass specification and thickness should be determined according to the dimensions, support system and installation design.
A large frameless panel, for example, should not automatically be treated in exactly the same way as a smaller supported panel.
Our team considers the complete configuration before the glass specification is finalized.
Clear or Frosted Glass Screen?
Both can work well, but they serve different preferences.
Clear Glass Screens
Clear glass maintains maximum visibility and helps a bathroom feel open.
It is particularly useful when customers want decorative tiles, stone or other shower finishes to remain visible.
Frosted Glass Screens
Frosted glass provides greater visual privacy while still allowing light through.
It may be preferred in shared bathrooms or where privacy is an important design consideration.
The choice is largely determined by the appearance and privacy level you want from the finished bathroom.
Frameless vs Framed Glass Screens
A frameless glass screen minimizes visible framing and is often selected for a clean contemporary appearance.
A framed or partially framed screen incorporates profiles around selected areas of the glass.
The appropriate option depends on the required design, glass dimensions and supporting system.
Rather than choosing based only on appearance, the complete installation should be considered, including glass size, fixing locations and required hardware.

Installing a Glass Screen in an Existing Bathroom
A glass screen can often be added to an existing finished bathroom without carrying out a complete renovation.
Before confirming the installation, we consider the existing tiles, shower floor or bathtub, walls and surrounding fixtures.
Suitable fixing positions also need to be identified.
Where custom glass is required, measurements should be confirmed before fabrication.
Replacing an Existing Glass Screen
If your existing bathroom screen is damaged, outdated or no longer suitable for the space, replacement may be possible.
Send us photographs showing:
- The complete existing glass panel
- Fixing points
- Existing hardware
- Shower or bathtub
- Surrounding wall and floor area
Our team can review the existing configuration and determine the appropriate next step.
The replacement glass should be based on confirmed dimensions rather than assuming the old panel measurements are correct.
Glass Screens for Apartment Bathrooms
Dubai apartments often have bathrooms where efficient use of space is important.
A fixed glass panel can be useful because it does not require clearance for a swinging door.
Where the bathroom dimensions allow, a walk-in screen can create separation without introducing additional moving hardware.
For smaller bathrooms where a fixed open screen would not provide sufficient separation, another shower configuration may be more appropriate.
Glass Screens for Villas
Villa bathrooms often provide greater flexibility for larger walk-in shower areas and wider fixed panels.
Custom glass can be designed around larger shower dimensions, decorative wall finishes and other bathroom features.
The size and position of the screen should still be planned according to how the shower will actually be used.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Screens
How much does a glass shower screen cost in Dubai?
Shower glass solutions typically range from approximately AED 750 to AED 2,250. The final price depends on glass dimensions, specification, number of panels, hardware and installation requirements.
How much does a bathtub glass screen cost?
Bathtub glass typically ranges from approximately AED 650 to AED 1,550, depending on its size, glass specification, design and hardware.
What is a shower glass screen?
A shower glass screen is a glass panel used to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. A fixed screen does not open like a shower door and is commonly used for walk-in showers and bathtub applications.
Does a glass shower screen need a door?
No. A suitable walk-in shower can use a fixed glass screen without a door. Whether this works well depends on the shower dimensions, screen position, shower-head location and required splash protection.
Can you make a glass screen according to my bathroom size?
Yes. Custom glass screens can be fabricated according to confirmed bathroom measurements where a made-to-measure solution is required.
Is a fixed glass screen suitable for a small bathroom?
It can be, because a fixed panel does not require swing-door clearance. However, the shower must still have sufficient dimensions to provide practical access and control water splash. We recommend assessing the actual layout before deciding.
What glass is commonly used for shower screens?
Tempered safety glass is commonly used for shower glass applications. The appropriate specification and thickness depend on the panel dimensions and installation configuration.
Can you install glass onto an existing tiled bathroom?
In many cases, yes. The existing tiles, wall condition, shower area and suitable fixing locations should first be assessed.
Do you install frameless glass screens?
Yes. Frameless fixed shower screens and other suitable frameless bathroom glass configurations can be provided according to the project requirements.
Can I use frosted glass for my shower screen?
Frosted glass can be considered where additional visual privacy is desired. Clear glass is another common choice where maintaining an open appearance is the priority.
Can I get an estimate by sending a photo?
Yes. Send us a clear photograph, approximate width and height, your Dubai location and preferred design. We can review these details and provide an initial estimate where possible.
What is the difference between a shower screen and a shower enclosure?
A shower screen can consist of a single fixed glass panel separating part of the shower area. A complete shower enclosure generally uses multiple panels and may include a swing or sliding door to create a more enclosed shower space.
Do you replace existing shower glass screens?
Replacement may be possible depending on the existing installation. Send us photographs of the current screen, hardware and surrounding bathroom so the requirement can be assessed.
