    Shower Doors Types

    Framed Shower Doors
    Framed Shower Doors
    Semi-frameless shower doors have a continuous frame that provides superior strength, maximum durability, and safety. Generally, there are three main types of glass doors or screens: they are framed, frameless and semi-frameless. Sometimes, the name of these types can make customers become confused. The thing is that even frameless glass doors still have metal parts, which are intended to provide safety and reliability of the construction. So let's take a closer look at each of these shower door types.

    -    A framed shower enclosure has metal around the entire structure, including the door.

    -    A frameless shower enclosure may even have metal (u-channel) around the fixed panels, and it may even have a header for safety or support reasons. The door must be attached by hinges only – no metal around the door. A header is also usually required with a Neo-angle shower enclosure. Frameless showers are comprised of a tempered glass that is between three-eighths to one-half of an inch thick.

    -    A semi-frameless shower enclosure has metal around the entire structure but does not have metal around the entire door. The metal around the door is often only on the bottom to control drip. This type tends to have slightly thicker glass and more noticeable frame compared to frameless screens, but it largely allows an unobstructed view of the tile and interior of the shower.
