Expert Shower Screen Installation in Sorrento, WA
We supply and install custom-made shower screens in Sorrento and surrounding areas. We recently completed this impressive installation for a local home builder in Sorrento, demonstrating our expertise in comprehensive bathroom glass solutions for Perth’s western suburbs.

Project Overview: Luxury New Build in Sorrento
Location & Property Context
This shower screen installation was completed in a new build property in Sorrento, one of Perth’s most sought-after coastal suburbs in the western corridor. Known for its beachside location and high-end residential developments, Sorrento attracts homeowners who value quality craftsmanship and contemporary design in their properties.
Working directly with a local home builder, we provided a complete bathroom glass solution across multiple bathrooms in this luxury residence.

Why Sorrento Homeowners Choose Fluted (Narrow Reeded) Shower Screens
Fluted shower screens, made using narrow reeded patterned glass, have become increasingly popular in Sorrento and Perth’s western suburbs over the past few years.
Privacy Without Sacrificing Light
The narrow reeded pattern in fluted glass provides a high level of obscurity, creating an excellent privacy barrier without blocking natural light. This is particularly valuable in Sorrento’s coastal properties where homeowners want to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy in their bathrooms. The textured pattern diffuses visibility while still allowing light to pass through, creating bright, airy bathrooms.
Contemporary Design Appeal
Fluted glass adds a sophisticated visual texture that elevates bathroom design beyond standard clear glass. The vertical reeded pattern creates a unique look that’s currently trending in Perth’s premium suburbs. This Sorrento installation demonstrates how the distinctive pattern works beautifully with black hardware, creating a modern, high-end appearance that suits new build luxury homes.
Versatility Across Different Bathroom Applications
This Sorrento project demonstrates the versatility of narrow reeded glass across multiple uses. The same glass type was used in both the semi-frameless ensuite shower enclosure and the frameless main bathroom doors, creating visual continuity throughout the home while adapting to different functional requirements. Whether it’s a full shower enclosure, separate access doors, or room dividers, fluted glass provides both practical privacy and design appeal.
Practical Maintenance
One of the key advantages of fluted shower screens is their ease of maintenance. The narrow reeded pattern is only on the exterior surface of the glass, which means the interior (shower side) remains smooth and easy to clean. You can wipe down the inside just as easily as non-patterned glass, while the exterior pattern provides the privacy benefits. This makes fluted glass particularly practical for Perth’s hard water conditions.

Semi-Frameless vs Frameless: Choosing the Right Style
Semi-Frameless Shower Screens
The ensuite bathroom in this Sorrento property features a semi-frameless shower screen with black framing and 6mm fluted glass. Semi-frameless designs incorporate a frame around the perimeter while maintaining clean sightlines and a relatively open appearance. The 6mm glass thickness is ideal for this configuration, providing the necessary privacy while the frame adds structural support.
The black frame in this installation serves as both a functional and design element, creating a bold statement that complements the modern styling of the new build.
Frameless Fluted Shower Doors
The main bathroom showcases two frameless doors featuring 10mm narrow reeded glass with black hinges. The frameless design uses thicker 10mm glass to provide the structural rigidity needed without a surrounding frame. With only hinges visible, frameless doors create a more open, uncluttered feel while maintaining the same privacy benefits as the framed option.
These separate entry doors for the shower and toilet demonstrate how frameless fluted glass can define different zones within a bathroom while maintaining visual flow throughout.
Black Hardware Throughout: Creating Design Cohesion
A standout feature of this Sorrento installation is the consistent use of black hardware throughout both bathrooms. The ensuite features a black semi-frameless shower screen with black components, while the main bathroom incorporates black hinges on the frameless doors. Custom-made black framed mirrors were also installed to complement the shower screens, creating a cohesive, sophisticated look throughout the property.
Black fixtures and fittings have become increasingly popular in Perth’s luxury bathroom designs, offering a contemporary alternative to traditional chrome or silver finishes. The bold contrast of black hardware against fluted glass creates a striking visual impact that suits high-end new builds.
We offer shower screen hardware in multiple finishes to suit your design preferences, including black, matt silver, bright silver, white, and brushed brass. For this Sorrento project, the builder selected black throughout to create a unified look across multiple bathrooms. Our hardware is specifically chosen for its performance in wet environments and smooth operation over time.
Custom Mirror Integration
This comprehensive Sorrento project included custom-made mirrors to complement the shower screens. In the ensuite, we installed a black framed mirror that matches the shower screen frame perfectly. In the main bathroom, two custom mirrors were positioned over the dual wash basins.
We work closely with builders to provide complete bathroom glass packages, ensuring all elements work together harmoniously.
All mirrors are custom-made to exact specifications, just like our shower screens.
