When it comes to remodeling a bathroom, one of the biggest decisions homeowners must make is whether to choose framed or frameless shower doors. Frameless shower doors offer many design benefits, including a sleek, modern look that will complement most decor styles. They are also easier to clean and reduce the risk of mold growth in your shower. However, they do require thicker glass and can cost more than framed doors and enclosures.

Gatsby Glass of Boise framed showers consist of pieces of tempered glass surrounded by a metal framing. This framing provides rigidity and protects the glass’s vulnerable edges. These showers and enclosures are typically installed on either wall mounted hinges (French or sliding door) or they may be constructed with stationary panels that slide along metal tracking (bypass doors). These units can be finished in a number of ways, from a simple white coating to intricate patterns that resemble tilework.

The advantage of a frameless shower is that it does not interfere with your line of sight, allowing your eyes to move freely throughout the space. This can be helpful in smaller bathrooms where the lack of visual clutter helps to increase the sense of openness. Additionally, it is a great way to highlight the beautiful tile you have chosen for your shower, further adding to your bathroom’s aesthetic appeal.

While it is rare, the glass in frameless showers and enclosures can shatter. This is usually due to improper installation or severe or abrupt changes in temperature. To avoid this, it is important to contact a local glass expert who can provide precision cuts and ensure that the doors are properly secured and sealed.
