Semi-frameless shower enclosures have thinner glass, typically 1/4″ or 3/16″, versus frameless enclosures, which use 3/8″ or 1/2″ thick glass.
Semi-frameless showers can be installed on fiberglass, unlike heavier frameless showers which need to be installed on tile or marble.
Semi-frameless enclosures are often more affordable than frameless showers.
While no shower is completely watertight, semi-frameless enclosures often offer a more watertight solution than frameless enclosures.
Semi-frameless shower doors can only swing outwards, not inwards.
Because of the lighter weight glass, semi-frameless showers have more metal framing than frameless showers – including a header.
While all our showers are custom measured to fit your space, semi-frameless showers are available only in standard heights.

The Elite is a great option for fiberglass enclosures, or for those looking for a more frameless look at a semi-frameless price. The Elite incorporates a 1/4″ door with a 3/8″ panel, which eliminates the need for a header.
