Should I install a framed or framless shower door?
Budget, construction, and personal design preference are things you should consider. Usually a frameless door is more expensive, but not always. It depends on the configuration and type of metal used on a frame. If water leakage is a major concern you may want to focus on a framed unit. The typical life of a framed shower is 5 years before corrosion develops. The typical life of a frameless shower is 25 years.
