Frameless Shower Enclosures

Upgrading to a frameless shower enclosure is the perfect way to modernise your bathroom or shower room.

Frameless enclosures function just the same as regular shower enclosures, but feature a less obvious, minimalist metal frame for a sleeker appearance. They suit a wide range of bathrooms and maintain full practicality, helping you make the most of your available space. If this sounds appealing, our FAQs below will walk you through what to look for to choose the right enclosure.

 

Why choose a frameless shower enclosure?

• Sleek and stylish appearance - The main reason to choose a frameless shower enclosure is its stunning appearance. If you love modern simplicity, these enclosures are perfect, designed to create a minimalist finish.
• Incredibly practical - Some frameless shower doors can be paired with glass side panels. For a more unique touch, certain models can be installed across an alcove opening for a seamless look. Doors come in various styles, including hinged, sliding and bi-fold, giving you plenty of choice.
• Easy to maintain - Frameless shower enclosures are easier to clean thanks to their large glass panels and minimal metal framework. This means less hassle keeping them looking great, so no more struggling to remove stubborn grime from metal frame recesses.

 

What type of shower tray will I need with a frameless enclosure?

As the foundation of your enclosure, choosing the right shower tray is essential. You can select from a range of options, including quadrant, square, rectangular and offset shower trays, to complete your shower. Trays can be recessed into the floor for a gorgeous wet room look or raised to your desired height.

 

Are frameless shower enclosures easy to clean?

Yes. With less framing and fewer channels around the glass, frameless shower enclosures can have fewer areas where soap residue and limescale can collect. Regularly wiping the glass after use can keep it looking clear, while a suitable glass cleaner can be used for a deeper clean.

 

Do frameless shower enclosures leak?

No. A correctly installed frameless shower enclosure will not leak, but the design naturally has fewer seals and frames than a fully framed enclosure. Correct installation is therefore particularly important to ensure optimal water containment.

 

How do I choose the right size frameless shower enclosure?

Begin by measuring the available width, depth and height of your bathroom's showering area, including any potential obstructions such as walls, furniture and doors. Check the enclosure's dimensions carefully, as some models allow for adjustment. You should also consider how the bathroom and enclosure doors open and whether there is enough clearance for ease of use.
