Bracing Bars

Bracing Bars for Wet Rooms are structural support arms designed to stabilize frameless or semi-frameless glass panels in wet room and shower installations, ensuring rigidity, safety, and long-term waterproof performance.

About Bracing Bars

Bracing bars are precision-engineered stainless steel or aluminium supports used to secure glass shower screens to a wall or ceiling. They prevent movement, protect silicone joints, and maintain waterproof integrity in open or walk-in wet room layouts. Suitable for 6–12 mm glass, they are available in a range of fixed or telescopic sizes and finishes to match modern bathroom designs.

Performance & Maintenance

Ensure fixings are anchored into solid substrates (stud or masonry) and all penetrations are sealed with waterproof silicone. Clean surfaces regularly using non-abrasive, non-chloride cleaners to prevent corrosion. Check tightness of brackets periodically and re-seal if any moisture ingress is observed.
