Semi-Frameless Shower Doors
Semi-Frameless Shower Doors in Nashville, TN
A semi-frameless door puts a thin metal frame on the outside edges and leaves the edges you open and close as bare glass. It still reads as a glass shower, for less than a fully frameless door.
- Lighter framing than a standard enclosure
- More affordable than fully frameless
- Great for tubs and standard showers
- Multiple finishes and glass patterns
The clean look, for less
Semi-frameless doors use a slim frame on the outer edges and leave the working edges frameless, so you keep most of the open, high-end look of frameless glass at a noticeably lower price. They’re a great fit over a tub or on a standard shower, and the lighter framing hides small tile imperfections that fully-frameless glass would expose.
Options and pricing
Choose from clear, frosted or patterned glass and a range of finishes to match your fixtures. Semi-frameless typically runs a few hundred dollars less than comparable frameless, with the same custom measure and clean, professional install.

Answers
Semi-Frameless Shower Doors questions
What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower doors?
Frameless doors use thick tempered glass with only minimal hardware and no surrounding frame, for the cleanest, most open look. Semi-frameless doors add a slim frame around the outer edges, which costs less and hides small tile imperfections. Both use safety glass and a custom measure; frameless is the premium option, semi-frameless the value one.
What is a semi-frameless shower door?
A glass shower door with a slim metal frame on its outer edges and bare glass on the edges that swing and meet. It gives most of the open look of frameless glass, uses the same safety glass and custom measure, and sits between a fully framed door and frameless in price.
Is semi-frameless cheaper than frameless?
Usually by a few hundred dollars against a comparable frameless door of the same size. The lighter framing is part of the saving, and it also forgives small tile imperfections that a fully frameless panel would show. The frameless page sets out what drives that price.
Can a semi-frameless door go over a bathtub?
