Shower Doors & Types of Glass

Shower Door Framing Styles

Frameless

Crafted from ⅜” or ½” tempered glass, our frameless glass shower enclosures boast enhanced durability and a refined aesthetic. Thicker glass ensures structural integrity, reducing the need for excessive framing or metal supports and providing a sturdier construction. Configured with two wall-mounted hinges and a U-channel, our enclosures offer a clean, modern appearance. The absence of bulky metal framing contributes to a sleek, contemporary look, making our frameless showers a sought-after choice for homeowners seeking a complete bathroom remodel.

Hybrid

For homeowners seeking the aesthetic of a frameless shower within their bathroom's limitations, a hybrid shower enclosure presents an ideal solution. Integrating a ¼” frameless door with robust ⅜” side panels, this design ensures structural support without requiring a header, resulting in a seamless, contemporary look.

Semi-Frameless

A semi-frameless shower enclosure represents an attractive step up from a fully framed unit, incorporating elements of a robust frameless design. Semi-frameless doors have metal framing around the exterior edge of the frame but not around the door panel itself. While it maintains some resemblance to a framed shower because of the necessity of framing to uphold 3/16” or ¼” glass, our semi-frameless showers offer an ideal compromise for homeowners seeking a blend of the sleek aesthetic and functionality of both frameless and framed styles.

Framed

Perfect for any traditional bathroom design, framed doors experience fewer leaks than all other shower door options. A framed glass shower typically utilizes glass ranging from 3/16” to 1⁄4” thick, occasionally as thin as 5/32”, as it relies on a metal frame for structural support. Its combination of affordability, waterproof technologies, and easy installation renders framed glass showers a timeless choice for numerous homeowners.

Types of Glass

Clear glass, the timeless classic, offers unobstructed views and a sense of spaciousness, perfect for showcasing intricate tile work or decorative features within your shower.
Rain glass introduces an element of privacy with its textured surface, evoking the soothing ambiance of a gentle rain shower while adding depth and character to your space.
Tinted glass infuses your shower enclosure with a subtle hint of color, creating a serene and calming atmosphere while maintaining privacy and reducing glare.
Textured glass, with its diverse patterns and designs, adds both visual interest and tactile appeal to your shower, turning a functional space into a stunning focal point of your bathroom.
