The towers along Hennur Main Road and Thanisandra Main Road are among the newest we work in, and most of our jobs here happen before anyone has moved in. Someone takes handover and fits the flat out over a few weeks. Straight walls, empty rooms, no furniture to protect and nobody waiting for the bathroom. It is the easiest home work we do, and the timing is the only part that ever goes wrong.
One firm rule: tiling first
We measure after the tiling is finished, never before.
The size that matters is the finished tile face, not the wall behind it. Toughened glass is cut before it is toughened, so we cannot trim it if the tiling ends up a few millimetres out.
This catches out a lot of first fittings, because everything else in an empty flat can be ordered ahead of time. Tell us your tiling date at the first call, and we will book the measuring visit against it.
Do the whole flat in one order
This is the biggest saving there is on this kind of job, and it is not a discount.
Three enclosures ordered together share one measuring visit, one delivery and one booking for our team. Ordered one at a time, they carry three of each, and those fixed costs are exactly what push a small job to the top of the range.
Two or three bathrooms take a day to a day and a half in one visit, instead of three separate days spread over months.
New walls make frameless easy
In an older bathroom we often suggest a slim aluminium frame, because the channel hides walls that have gone out of straight. In a tower handed over in the last few years, that problem mostly does not come up.
So frameless is both the better looking choice and the simpler one here. We pick the glass thickness to suit the size of the panels. Hinges are glass to glass or wall to glass, with a good seal along the closing edge and bathroom-grade silicone around the joins.
Frosted glass is worth asking about where a bathroom window is overlooked, and we price it by the area we treat.
