Information on Framed & Frameless Shower doors

What is the primary difference between a framed shower door and  frameless shower door?
 
A framed shower door is constructed of thinner less expensive glass 1/8" to 3/16" thick and utilizes metal to strengthen the enclosure.

A frameless shower door enclosure is made up of 3/8" to ½" thick tempered and polished safety glass which is strong and sturdy enough to use minimal metal only to secure panels in place instead of strengthening them.

What are the advantages of a frameless shower door?
 
A frameless shower door will increase the value of your home, lasts three to four times longer than a framed shower door, and eliminates almost all the metal framing. In addition, your frameless shower door can always be cleaned to "like new" condition. Frameless doors open in and out verses a framed shower door, which opens out only.

Does a frameless shower door cost a consumer more than a framed shower door?
 
The initial cost is more for a frameless shower door, however in the long run frameless shower enclosures are less expensive.

Does a frameless shower door increase the value of a bathroom and or home?
 
Yes, most definitely! Whether you are going to sell your home now or in ten or twenty years from now, a frameless shower door enclosure can always be cleaned to "like new" condition and will enhance and beautify the bathroom with a touch of elegance. The bathroom and the kitchen are the most looked at areas in a home from perspective buyers.

SHOWER DOOR RENOVATION

After many years of replacing old and broken down framed shower doors, we have perfected a method of re installing a frameless European enclosure without much of even a hint that anything was ever changed. The trick to replacing the framed enclosure is in the placement of the frameless unit as not to see the discoloration that the framed unit left behind. Notice in our before and after pictures that the shower door is mounted on cultured marble. We have also perfected a way to install a frameless door on cultured marble without delaminating the marble from the mounting surface.

What are the decisions I need to make when purchasing a frameless shower door?
 
The most common things to be considered are:

• Where do I want my frameless shower door?
• What side do I want my frameless shower door hinges on (frameless shower doors swing in and out).
• How high do I want my frameless shower door enclosure to be?
• What finishes are my other fixtures and do I want to keep everything the same finish?
