Framed shower doors are a common type of enclosure for bathrooms. They usually consist of a glass panel that rests on a metal frame. This is often treated with a protective coating to make cleaning easier. If you are considering a new shower, you may be wondering if framed or frameless is the best choice for you.

Framed showers are easier to install and more affordable than frameless ones. They can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. However, they have less durability than frameless doors. You'll also find that they require a higher investment. In addition, they are more difficult to clean, making it more likely that they will corrode.

Framed showers come in two main types: sliding and pivoting. Both can be custom-made. But they are not always a good fit for every bathroom. For example, some bathrooms may not be strong enough to support a door with a thick, 1/2-inch glass thickness. Also, sliding doors cannot be frameless.

Regardless of the type of shower you choose, it is important to make sure that the hardware matches the rest of the bathroom. You can customize your door with hinges, stickers, films, and more. Some people even use palm trees and turtles to decorate their doors.

Frameless doors are much more expensive than framed ones, and installation can take more time. Moreover, they require very strong attachments and joints. To avoid damage, you'll need to ensure that the door is positioned correctly against the walls. It is also a good idea to clean the edges of the door to prevent mineral and oil buildup. Fortunately, it's easy to wipe a squeegee over a frameless door after you've finished using it.

Although framed shower doors are more durable than frameless ones, they are not as easy to install. In order to ensure that your shower door is installed properly, you should consider all of the above factors before you purchase one. Generally speaking, a framed door takes about a half hour to install, while a frameless one will take about three or four hours.

One of the biggest drawbacks to frameless shower doors is that the weight of the glass can be distributed incorrectly, leading to the glass sagging. That is why it is imperative to properly attach the clips to the glass. There are special drill bits that you can buy to ensure that the clips are level and secure. Alternatively, you can use a caulk gun to squirt a thin layer of adhesive on the bottom of the frame. Then, wait a few hours for the glue to harden. Once the door is attached, you should be able to walk into the shower with ease.

Framed glass shower doors are typically made of tempered glass. These can come in a wide range of designs, colors, and finishes. Usually, specialty clear glass is used, which is the most durable and is generally about 1/2" thick. A tempered glass door reduces the likelihood of injury and will help minimize any risk of spontaneous shattering.
