Semi-Frameless

A semi-frameless glass shower uses a partial metal frame, typically around the outer perimeter of the stationary panel,  while leaving the door panel itself unframed. It’s a hybrid approach – you get some of the clean look of frameless without requiring the thicker, heavier glass that a fully frameless installation requires.

The glass in a semi-frameless setup is usually thinner, because the frame provides additional structural support.
