Frameless Doors
Frameless shower doors are a type of glass tub enclosure that does not use metal exteriors. This kind typically uses thick tempered glass, so it can be pretty strong.

Make sure you get heavy-duty hinges, high-quality handles, and thick glass for your door. A patented glass coating would be ideal too. A semi-frameless shower door helps give bathrooms a sleek, streamlined look with less cost.
