Frameless Shower Doors — Custom Built for Your Dallas–Fort Worth Bathroom

A frameless shower door is a door of thick tempered glass, usually 3/8" or 1/2", that stands on its own with no metal frame around its edges. The hinges, handle and clamps fasten straight to the glass, so the enclosure reads as clear glass from the curb to the top edge.

Because nothing frames the glass, the thickness and the hardware do the work: wall-mount or glass-to-glass hinges carry the door's weight, and clamps hold any fixed panels. The result is a clean, uninterrupted view that makes the whole bathroom feel bigger and brighter.

The difference is the frame. A framed shower door has an aluminum frame around every glass edge, and the frame carries the load, so the glass can be thinner, usually 3/16" or 1/4". A frameless door has no frame: 3/8" or 1/2" tempered glass carries itself, with the hardware fixed directly to the glass.

Cleaning: frame rails and bottom tracks collect soap scum and hold moisture. A frameless door has only a few hardware points to wipe around.

Look: a frame draws metal lines across the room. Frameless glass keeps the tile, the fixtures and the light in view.

Water: a framed door closes against its own frame. A frameless door relies on sweeps, seals and an accurate install, so the measurement and the seal placement matter more.

Semi-frameless sits in between: heavier glass than a framed door, with metal kept to the header or the wall channels rather than every edge.

Framed doors still suit standard openings and a classic look, and we install all three. In September 2026 our team installed a framed door and fixed panel in polished chrome with 1/4" clear glass in DFW. We will walk you through framed, semi-frameless and frameless options for your opening.

When two glass panels meet at a corner, one option is a butt joint — one panel pressed flat against the edge of the other, with silicone filling the gap. It works, but the seam is visible and the silicone is the first thing to yellow or pull away over time.

We do it differently. Our mitered corners are cut at a precise 45-degree angle on each panel so they meet flush, like the corners of a picture frame. The result is a seamless, gap-free joint that looks sharper and seals tighter than a standard butt joint. It takes a more exacting spec and tighter tolerances to produce — but it's our standard, not an upgrade.

All of our shower glass is fully tempered safety glass — required by Texas building code and far stronger than annealed glass. When tempered glass breaks, it fragments into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.

For frameless enclosures, 3/8" clear tempered is most common for single doors and panels, and 1/2" for corner and walk-in configurations where additional rigidity matters. Both meet ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety standards.

We also offer low-iron ("ultra-clear") glass for clients who want the truest transparency — standard clear glass has a slight green tint from the iron in the sand, which is most visible on thicker panels. Low-iron eliminates that tint completely.

The hardware — hinges, handles, towel bars, and clips — is where frameless doors become distinctly yours. We carry a curated selection of hardware in four premium finishes: brushed nickel, chrome, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze.

Browse the full selection on our Services page hardware explorer. If you're designing around a fixture package, bring a photo or the finish name and we'll match it. All hardware is commercial-grade, designed for daily use without corroding or loosening over time.

We start with a free in-home consultation. Bring your bathroom measurements if you have them, or we'll schedule a precision measurement at your home — it gives us the exact dimensions we need for a perfect fit.

From there, we produce shop drawings showing your enclosure configuration, glass thickness, hardware selection, and all dimensions. You review and approve before anything is ordered.

We handle the cleanup and walk you through care and maintenance.
