Why Choose a Frameless or Semi-Frameless Shower Enclosure?
Frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures aren’t just a design trend — they’re a smart, stylish upgrade that brings long-term value to your home. At Alamo Glass, we’ve installed hundreds of these modern enclosures across Austin, and here’s why homeowners love them:
- Sleek, Modern Aesthetic: Frameless glass creates a clean, open look that enhances the overall design of your bathroom. With no bulky frames to disrupt sightlines, it brings a minimalist feel that complements both contemporary and traditional styles.
- Easier to Clean: Say goodbye to grime buildup around metal tracks. With fewer edges and hardware, frameless showers are easier to maintain and keep sparkling clean.
- Custom-Fit for Any Space: Whether you have a compact bathroom or a large master suite, frameless and semi-frameless enclosures can be tailored to fit your layout precisely — including angled walls, unusual dimensions, and special configurations.
- Durable and Safe: Made with thick, tempered safety glass, these enclosures are built to last. You’ll enjoy everyday use without worry about rust, warping, or corrosion that’s common in fully framed models.
- Increases Home Value: Bathroom upgrades consistently offer one of the highest returns on investment. A frameless or semi-frameless shower not only boosts visual appeal but also increases perceived value during resale.
- Better Light Flow: Glass enclosures maximize natural and artificial light, making your bathroom feel brighter and more spacious — especially important in smaller bathrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How thick is the glass used for frameless showers?
We typically use 3/8" or 1/2" thick tempered glass for frameless enclosures, depending on the design and size. This provides the strength and rigidity needed without bulky framing.
What’s the difference between framed, semi-frameless, and frameless showers?
- Framed showers use metal around all glass edges.
- Semi-frameless designs typically feature framing on the fixed panels but have a frameless glass door.
- Frameless enclosures utilize minimal hardware and thick glass, providing the cleanest and most modern appearance.
Can I install a frameless shower in an older home?
Absolutely. Frameless showers can be custom-built to fit virtually any space, including bathrooms with older tile or non-standard layouts.
How long does the process take?
From consultation to installation, most frameless shower projects take about 7–10 business days, depending on glass availability and your schedule.
Will my shower leak without a frame?
Frameless showers are designed with precision to create a watertight seal using clear vinyl sweeps and seals. While no enclosure is 100% waterproof, proper installation prevents any significant leaks.
Can I choose the hardware finish?
Yes — we offer a range of hardware finishes, including brushed nickel, chrome, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze, to match your bathroom fixtures.
