Frameless Glass
Shower Door

While framed doors have their place, frameless glass shower doors offer a modern, sleek look that’s increasingly popular.

Compared with today’s more open, spa-like trends in bathroom designs, yes. Most homeowners and designers prefer the larger, open look of a frameless shower enclosure. But choosing between framed and frameless shower doors all depends on your personal style (and budget). Many of the frames used around glass showers now feature thinner, sleeker, more modern designs than heavier, traditional aluminum frames.

No. When properly installed by experts like MBR Glassworks, frameless glass shower doors provide excellent water containment.

A properly installed frameless shower door is completely watertight. Leaks may occur, though, if it hasn’t been properly installed or maintained. That’s why MBR Glassworks takes the time to do it right. Before installing your glass shower enclosure we ensure the shower floor has the proper ‘fall’ so it slopes downward away from the door and toward the drain. To prevent water leakage, we make sure all seals and hinges fit the door perfectly to prevent gaps and carefully caulk around any slight gaps where the glass meets the tiles of your shower.

Yes, our frameless glass is tempered for safety and durability.

The thick, tempered safety glass used in frameless shower doors is at least four times stronger than any other glass in your home. It’s the same kind of safety glass used in cars. Like any glass, though, it can break. While this very rarely happens with everyday use, if it does, the glass won’t be as jagged or dangerous as ordinary glass.

For seniors or people with balance or mobility issues, a walk-in frameless glass shower door is a safer option because there’s no need to step in and out of the tub or shower.

Are Frameless Shower Doors Worth The Money?

Definitely. Whenever you’re thinking of remodeling, you want to make sure the juice is worth the squeeze. That’s why remodeling a bathroom or kitchen usually offers the highest ROI. If you’re upgrading your master bathroom, replacing your tub with a large walk-in frameless shower can help raise your home’s value.

Keep in mind, too, that because they don’t have aluminum frames that can corrode and wear out from mold and moisture, frameless shower doors last much longer. Based on the quality (MBR Glassworks only uses the best glass and glass-related materials), frameless shower doors can last up to 20 to 30 years, if properly maintained.

Frameless shower doors do cost more than most framed doors. That’s because the type and amount of glass used costs more. Installation costs are more, too, because frameless shower door installation is a more involved process.
