Difference between Framed and Frameless Shower Doors
A framed glass shower door is made up of a thinner ⅛” or 1/4” tempered safety glass. It relies on the metal surrounding it to strengthen and solidify the enclosure. A frameless glass shower door is made up of ⅜” or ½” tempered safety glass. This glass is stronger and does not require heavy, bulky metal framing on your glass shower door. Frameless glass shower doors also get rid of the cheap wobble feel and shake of store bought doors when they are opened or closed.

What are the advantages of getting a Frameless Shower Door?
A frameless shower door is one of the most aesthetically pleasing glass shower door solutions out there, therefore increasing the perceived value of your home! A frameless shower door can last a lot longer than a framed shower door, as it eliminates the thick metal framing which can become oxidized and look bad over time. Also, frameless glass shower doors are some of the easiest glass shower doors to clean if treated with a surface protectant! By getting rid of the metal framing, the glass shower door can easily be cleaned until it looks like it did when it was first installed!
