Semi-frameless shower doors
Glass panels with a slim frame around the door only. A budget-friendly step up from framed.
What a semi-frameless shower door is
A semi-frameless shower door has thinner glass than a frameless door, often around 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch. It has metal on the edges of the door panel or along the top and sides, but less metal than a fully framed door.
It sits between framed and frameless: it has a cleaner look than a full frame and usually costs less than a frameless door.
Who it suits
Semi-frameless doors are a common choice when you want a more open look without paying for the thickest glass and heaviest hardware. The frame around the door adds some rigidity and can help keep water inside the shower.
Common questions
What is the difference between semi-frameless and frameless?
Frameless doors use thicker glass and almost no metal. Semi-frameless doors have some metal framing, usually thinner glass, and typically a lower price.
Can a semi-frameless door swing or slide?
Both are possible. Which one fits depends on the size of the opening and how much room there is for the door to swing.
