A new shower can completely transform the look and feel of a bathroom, but with so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start.
One of the most common questions we get is whether to choose a frameless or semi-frameless shower.
What Is a Frameless Shower?
A frameless shower uses toughened safety glass with minimal hardware and no bulky aluminium framing around the glass panels. The result is a clean, modern look that helps create a brighter, more open-feeling bathroom. Frameless showers are particularly popular because they allow your tiles and bathroom design to take centre stage rather than hidden behind heavy framing.
What Is a Semi-Frameless Shower?
Semi-frameless showers combine glass panels with aluminium framing around parts of the enclosure. They can be a practical option and are often available in standard sizes, making them a popular choice for some bathroom renovations.
Why We Choose Custom Frameless Showers
At Hunter Glass, we specialise in custom frameless showers that are measured and manufactured specifically for your bathroom.
Bathrooms aren't one-size-fits-all. Walls aren't always perfectly square, floor levels can vary, and every layout is a little different. That's where custom glass really comes into its own.
Many standard shower units are designed to fit as many bathrooms as possible. A custom frameless shower is designed to fit yours.
By measuring each shower individually, we can create a finished result that works with the exact dimensions of your space. The end result is often cleaner, more seamless, and looks like it was always meant to be there.
It's Not Just About the Glass
While glass is the most noticeable feature, the hardware is equally important.
Hinges, handles, and brackets are the parts that get used every day, so quality really matters. Just like a well-made jacket lasts longer because of the quality of the zip and stitching, a shower's longevity often comes down to the details you don't immediately notice.
Choosing quality hardware and professional installation can make a significant difference in how your shower looks and performs for years to come.
