A frameless shower door enclosure is made up of 3/8″ to Ā½” thick tempered and polished safety glass which is strong and sturdy enough to use minimal metal only to secure panels in place instead of strengthening them.

be cleaned to “like new” condition. Frameless doors open in and out verses a framed shower door, which opens out only. Frameless enclosures have no ledges like a framed shower eliminating the chances of dirt and grime
buildup
