Semi-Frameless vs. Frameless

There are two options when it comes to shower doors, semi-frameless and frameless. Here are the descriptions of semi-frameless and frameless to help you decide which design works best for you.

SEMI-FRAMELESS

The semi-frameless shower enclosure has metal around the entire structure but not around the shower door itself. Giving the shower door a more modern look, but also saving cost by it not entirely being frameless. Semi-frameless also has unmatched water protection with a great combination of being both semi-frameless and frameless.

FRAMELESS

Frameless shower doors are panels of 3/8” or ½” thick tempered glass also called heavy glass that uses clips or a U-Channel for support. It is the best way to give your bathroom a modern and open look.

Frameless shower doors are used more often because they can fit any design giving it a stylish appearance. They are open and spacious, and low maintenance to clean. Frameless shower doors also increase value because they last much longer than thin glass framed units.
