Glass guide
Preventing mould in the bathroom
Mould rarely has a single cause. What matters are moisture, air exchange, joints, corners that are hard to reach and materials that stay clean in everyday use.
Getting moisture out of the bathroom quickly
After a shower, warm, moist air remains in the room. Regular ventilation, dry surfaces and good air flow are therefore the first basis for preventing mould.
Glass surfaces with few joints reduce typical problem areas
Glass is no substitute for ventilation, but it can make the surfaces you clean simpler. Fewer joints mean fewer places where moisture and dirt settle permanently.
- consider glass wall panels instead of small-format tiles in the splash zone
- plan the shower glass so that corners remain reachable
- think about the floor connection, profiles and water drainage early on
Keeping seals and fittings in view
Seals are wearing parts. If they remain easy to access and replace, the shower can be looked after for years without small areas deteriorating for good.
Helpful for the first assessment
- photos of the shower, corners, joints and ventilation
- a note on where moisture lingers for particularly long
- rough measurements and whether you would like a glass shower or a glass wall panel to be considered
