Glass doors with a slim metal frame on some edges: a sleek look with a more forgiving fit for walls that are not perfectly square.
Semi-frameless shower doors sit between full frameless glass and old-style framed doors. They have a slim metal frame, often only around the outer edge or across the top, and the door itself is made of heavier glass. The frame adds structure, hides small gaps between the glass and the walls and tolerates curbs and walls that are not perfectly plumb. In Nashville, where many older bathrooms have surfaces that have shifted over the decades, a semi-frameless door is often the practical sweet spot.
We measure the opening and recommend a design: a hinged door, a sliding door or a pivot door in the frame style you prefer. Frames come in chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and other finishes. We set the frame or channel, hang the glass, add seals and sweeps and adjust for a smooth swing or glide. Because the frame gives a little tolerance, installation is often quick, and replacement parts are easy to find later.
The frame absorbs small irregularities in walls and curbs that would cause trouble for fully frameless glass.
Thinner frames and thicker glass give a modern look without a heavy metal border.
Hinged, sliding or pivot versions are available, with frames in several finishes.
Standard rollers, seals and hinges make repairs simple years from now.
We record width, height and curb details so the door fits as built.
