Terms to Know
A frameless shower enclosure is attached with hinges only. It’s all glass, all the time.
A semi-frameless shower enclosure uses metal around the entire structure, but not the door itself. Any enclosure that can do framed or frameless can do semi-frameless.
A framed shower enclosure has metal around the structure and door, providing maximum stability.
A swing door enclosure is when the door swings out for you to step in and out of the shower. A great way to add an elegant, minimalist feel to your bathroom.
A sliding door enclosure slides the door open, giving you a sleek design that doesn’t take up space. Cardinal’s ultra smooth V-shaped wheels make opening and closing the door a snap.
Glass comes in three main thicknesses, often referred to as heavy (usually in frameless), regular (mostly in semi-frameless and frameless), and thin glass (framed only). Thickness depends on what your bathroom can support, preferred look of the shower enclosure or door, and price point.
