About Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

A great look with a slimmer footprint

Semi-frameless doors sit between framed and frameless. A slim metal frame around the sides or top supports thinner glass, while the door itself keeps a clean, mostly open look.

They are a popular, practical choice for many bathrooms, and we help you decide when they make sense compared with fully frameless glass.

The Process

How We Work With You

01

Free Measure

Call 615-357-7797 or send the form. We visit, check the walls, curb and tile and measure the opening carefully, including out-of-plumb walls.

02

Choose Glass and Hardware

We help you compare door styles, glass types, thickness, finishes and handles and settle on a design that suits the bath.

03

Fabricate and Install

Your glass is made to the measurements, then installed with hardware set level, plumb and sealed where needed.

04

Final Check and Care Tips

We test the door, check every seal and hinge with you and explain how to keep the glass looking new.

Good to Know

Questions About Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless?

Fully frameless uses thick glass and minimal hardware. Semi-frameless adds a slim frame in some places, which allows thinner glass and often a lower cost.

Are semi-frameless doors durable?

Yes. They are a popular, practical option. Quality hardware and good installation matter most.

Can I upgrade later?

A fully frameless door would be a new door, so we recommend choosing the style you want to live with.
