A frameless shower door is a sleek, modern enclosure made of thick tempered glass (typically ⅜” to ½” thick) that does not require metal framing around the edges. It uses minimal hardware, such as hinges and handles, for a clean, open look.

• Aesthetic appeal: Enhances modern bathrooms with a spacious, luxurious feel.
• Durability: Thick tempered glass resists chips and cracks.
• Easy cleaning: No metal frames to collect soap scum or mildew.
• Customization: Flexible sizing and design options.

DIY is possible but risky requiring precise measurements. Improper installation leads to leaks, misalignment, or safety hazards. Hire a professional for best results.

Yes, installation requires precision. Walls must be perfectly level/plumb, and hinges/clips must be securely anchored. Professional installation is recommended for safety and leak prevention.

Choose clear glass for openness, frosted/tinted for privacy, or decorative patterns. Hardware finishes (chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold) can complement fixtures.

Squeaking is caused by mineral buildup or worn parts. Clean hinges with vinegar, rinse, and apply silicone lubricant. Tighten screws if loose.

How heavy is frameless shower glass?
A ⅜” thick glass panel weighs ~10 lbs. per square foot. Larger doors may require reinforced walls or floors.

Yes, but ensure replacements match the original hardware’s size and style. Consult your installer or manufacturer for compatibility.

• Clean glass with vinegar/water or non-abrasive cleaners.
• Wipe down after use to prevent hard water stains.
• Lubricate hinges periodically.
• Check seals for wear and replace as needed.

Properly installed doors with high-quality seals and correct glass alignment minimize leaks. A slight gap at the bottom allows airflow but should not cause significant water escape.

Frameless doors lack bulky metal frames, offering a minimalist aesthetic. Framed doors have metal edges securing thinner glass, while frameless versions rely on thicker glass and strategic hardware for stability.

The quality of the hardware you select is dependent upon both aesthetics and functionality. With less structure to attract the eye, shower door hinges and handles become more noticeable, so it’s particularly important for them to be aesthetically appealing without detracting from the clean, simple design of the door. Additionally, high-quality hardware is less likely to rust, corrode, weaken, or allow glass slippage over time.

Our range of hardware includes hinges, handles, and clamps, each designed to support and enhance your shower door. We offer various finishes such as chrome, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze to match your bathroom’s aesthetic:

• Hinges: Our hinges are constructed with high grade materials to ensure durability and smooth operation. They come in different styles, including wall-mounted and glass-to-glass configurations.
• Handles: We offer a variety of handle designs, from traditional pulls to contemporary bars.
• Brackets (aka clamps or clips): Designed to provide additional support and stability, our clamps are available in different shapes and sizes to suit your specific installation needs.
• Accessories like wipes and seals are also important for a functional, leak-free shower.
