If you’ve ever struggled with a flimsy shower screen or a countertop that can’t stand up to daily use, you’ve probably wished for a cover that just stays put. That’s where non‑removable covers come in. They’re built to stay in place, offering a long‑lasting barrier that protects tiles, countertops, and walls without the hassle of taking them off for cleaning or repair.
In the kitchen, a non‑removable splash‑back protects tiles from splatters and heat. In the bathroom, a fixed shower screen keeps water where it belongs and cuts down on mould growth. Even outdoor patios can benefit from sturdy covers that shield flooring from weather and foot traffic. The common thread? All these spots see a lot of wear, so a cover that doesn’t need to be lifted makes life easier.
Most non‑removable covers are made from tempered glass, acrylic or high‑grade polymers. Tempered glass looks sleek, resists scratches and is easy to wipe down. Acrylic is lighter and cheaper, but it can scratch more easily. Polypropylene covers are tough and work well in high‑traffic areas like laundry rooms. Pick the material that matches your budget and the level of durability you need.
Installation is usually a quick fix. For wall‑mounted covers, a professional will use silicone sealant and brackets to secure the unit. If you’re dealing with a countertop cover, it often snaps into a groove or is glued with a strong adhesive that’s meant to last years. The goal is a seamless finish that blends with your tiles or surfaces, so you won’t even notice the edge.
Maintenance is simple: a damp cloth and mild cleaner keep glass and acrylic spotless. Avoid abrasive pads – they can dull the surface. For polymer covers, a quick rinse with water after heavy use prevents staining. Because the cover stays put, you won’t waste time re‑installing it after each clean.
One common mistake is choosing a cover that’s too thin for the job. Thin glass might crack under the weight of a pot or heavy laundry baskets. Always check the thickness rating – 8 mm tempered glass is a safe bet for most indoor applications. If you’re unsure, ask a specialist at Aqua Tiles & Interiors; they can recommend a product that fits your exact needs.
Cost-wise, non‑removable covers vary from £50 for a basic acrylic bathroom screen to over £300 for a custom‑cut tempered glass kitchen splash‑back. Think of it as an investment: you save on future repairs, replace tiles less often, and keep the space looking fresh.
Overall, non‑removable covers give you a set‑and‑forget solution. They protect, they look good, and they cut down on the time you spend fixing water damage or worn‑out tiles. Ready to upgrade? Browse the range at Aqua Tiles & Interiors and find the perfect cover for your home today.
