What Are Frameless Glass Shower Doors?

You may have heard of frameless shower doors, and are wondering how they differ from other types of shower doors. Traditionally, glass shower doors are constructed with a frame around them, usually metal. Because the glass is framed in metal, many manufacturers use a thinner, weaker glass for the door, relying on the metal to strengthen the enclosure. A frameless glass shower door uses much thicker tempered safety glass that is strong enough to stand on its own without being framed.

The Advantages of Frameless Shower Doors

So, why do so many homeowner prefer frameless glass shower doors? One reason is that the thin piece of glass that is used in framed shower doors may cause the door to wobble when it is opened or closed. But perhaps the main advantage to frameless shower doors is the aesthetic appeal. Door framing is bulky-looking and breaks up the view into or out of the shower. It is also harder to clean doors with a metal frame. Frameless shower doors, on the other hand, have a minimalist appearance that make them simple to clean and retain a like-new appearance.
