What Are Frameless Shower Doors? - Frameless shower doors are made of thick tempered glass panels (usually 3/8" or 1/2") without the bulky metal framing found in traditional enclosures. They’re held together by discreet clips, hinges, and channels, giving your bathroom an open, seamless look.
They’ve become increasingly popular in modern and minimalist bathroom designs for a reason: they’re stylish, easier to clean, and customizable for any layout.
