What is the difference between a framed shower door and frameless shower door?
A framed shower door is constructed of thinner and weaker 1/8″ to 3/16″ glass. It relies on metal frame or molding to strengthen the enclosure.
A ASG frameless shower enclosure is made up of 3/8″ to 1/2″ tempered and polished safety glass. This glass has greater strength and does not require heavy metal framing around it. Frameless shower doors also eliminate the wobble seen in cheaper store bought doors when opening or closing.
What are the advantages of a frameless shower door?
A frameless shower enclosure is aesthetically superior to any other shower solution, increasing the value of your home. A frameless shower door lasts much longer than a framed shower door that can rust and build mold, the frameless glass eliminates ugly thick metal framing. Frameless shower doors are the easiest of any shower door to clean and look like new.
