General Contractors understand the importance of selecting shower doors that will be esthetically pleasing, easy to install and durable following the completion of an installation. With so many options and variables in selecting a shower door, including type, style, material, design and finish, the team at Seawin is experienced in helping general contractors select the best options for their next project.
When it comes to choosing a shower door, there are two main options: framed and frameless. Each has its own unique features and benefits, and it can be difficult to decide which one is right for your project.
Framed Shower Doors:
Framed shower doors are a classic choice that have been around for decades. They are made with a metal frame surrounded by the glass panels, which provide extra support and stability. Aluminum mullions can easily we added to these doors for additional design and esthetics. Some of the benefits of choosing a framed shower door:
- Affordability: Framed shower doors are typically less expensive than other shower doors.
- Durability: The metal frame provides extra support and stability, making framed shower doors more durable and less likely to break. The glass on framed doors is typically lighter gage than their frameless counterparts.
- Ease of Installation: These doors are easier to install than other options, which can be more complex. In addition, framed doors require less vinyl to be used.
- Cleaning/maintenance: the frame on these doors can make it more difficult to keep clean as dirt and grime accumulate in and around the frame and glass.
Frameless Shower Doors:
Frameless shower doors offer a more sleek and modern option that is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. They are made with thick, tempered glass which is kept in a place with minimal hardware. Some of the benefits of choosing a frameless shower door:
- Sleek Design: Frameless shower doors have a sleek, modern design that can make your bathroom look more spacious and luxurious.
- Easy Maintenance: Without a metal frame to collect dirt and grime, frameless shower doors are easier to clean and maintain.
- Customizable: Frameless shower doors can be customized to fit any size or shape of shower.
