AQURA Wetroom Screen: Is It Worth It?
The AQURA wetroom screen range is one of the flagship products at Mersey Bathrooms. But is the premium justified? Here's an honest look at the range.
What Is the AQURA Wetroom Screen?
The AQURA is a frameless or semi-frameless glass wetroom screen designed for walk-in showers and wetrooms. It's available in multiple sizes, in frosted and clear glass, with minimal hardware in chrome or black finishes. Unlike traditional shower enclosures with frames, tracks, and doors, the AQURA is a clean, minimal fixed panel that defines the wet zone without closing it off.
Build Quality
The glass is 8mm toughened safety glass — thicker than the standard 6mm used in many entry-level screens. Thicker glass feels more substantial, flexes less, and is significantly more impact-resistant. The hardware — wall bracket, stabilising bar, and floor channel — is solid. No rattling, no flexing, no cheap plastic fittings.
Glass Options
Clear Glass
Coated with an easy-clean hydrophobic treatment that causes water to bead and run off. This significantly reduces limescale build-up — a wipe with a squeegee after each shower keeps it spotless.
Frosted Glass
Provides privacy while maintaining the open, light feel of a frameless screen. Particularly popular in family bathrooms.
Value for Money
The AQURA sits at the premium end of the market. What you get for the additional cost: 8mm glass vs standard 6mm, more substantial hardware, easy-clean coating, cleaner aesthetic, and genuine product knowledge from a UK specialist. For customers investing in a full bathroom renovation and want the screen to match the quality of everything else, the AQURA represents good value.
FAQs
Can I use the AQURA with wall panels?
Absolutely. The AQURA screen and our wall panel range are designed to complement each other. Many customers fit both in the same renovation.
