Unframed glass

Unframed glass moves within the aluminum frame that surrounds the shower opening. Semi-frameless doors are not only another visual look to choose from, but an alternative to frameless doors when two movable doors are needed by the bathroom layout.

Why Semi-Frameless sliding glass shower doors?

How they're exactly what you want Avoid the standard sizes of big box retailers. At Dulles Glass and Mirror, you tell us the size of your shower. You tell us the configuration. You specify height and width. You choose the type of glass. You tell us the color of hardware. We manufacture it right here on our premises exactly how you ordered it. We are not an assembly line making the same product over and over. We create individual pieces of glass, each one exactly as ordered, and made with great care.
How they increase the value of your house You might easily increase the value of your home with a quality shower such as Semi-Frameless sliding glass doors. Research shows that small bathroom upgrades are one of the best ways to increase the future purchase price.
How Dulles Glass and Mirror handles your installation You will like how we take care of you from ordering through installation--initial quote, measurements, final quote, and, especially, clean, efficient installation—we watch carefully what happens to you all along the way. We put special attention into how we treat your home while we are there.
How easy it is to deal with any problems Enjoy a worry-free shower with one of the best warranties in the business. For three years, glass, metal hardware, and glass treatment are completely covered by our company. Other manufacturers often do not cover hardware and glass treatment, forcing you to find those manufacturers if there is a problem. Their warranties also might not cover a full three years.
How they look The clean appearance of thick, frameless glass panels makes your shower the focal point of the room.
How they feel Opening the substantial, tempered glass doors is a far different experience than using the rattling shower doors of old.
How they last Thick tempered glass is far less likely to break. It stays in place because the stainless steel hangers that grasp the panels overhead are fastened through holes drilled in the glass. This is unlike the shower doors of big box retailers, whose thin glass is held by glue inside poorer-quality aluminum hangers. Top quality stainless steel hardware holds the shower together far longer than that of low-quality aluminum.
How they clean With no crevasses, frameless glass panels are far easier to clean than framed panels. The metal parts of stainless steel instead of aluminum are also easier to maintain. To make your life easier still, add ClearShield glass treatment, which actually bonds with the glass and keeps it very clear.

Semi-Frameless Sliding Glass Doors

Features include:

Stainless steel hangers
stainless hanger
Fully stainless steel sliding hangers with plastic rollers for smooth sliding in the header. Hanger is installed through the glass, not glued. Glue method ultimately fails, sags, and comes off the track. We use two hangers per glass door (4 total) – for added smoothness and comfortable sliding glass doors with no vibration or friction.
Studier top bar
stainless hanger
Header bar made of heavy gauge aluminum and holds the entire weight of the glass doors, typically 160-180 lbs. total.
Sloped bottom track
Bottom track is designed with a 1/4" slope so that water runs down and towards your shower drain and doesn’t pool at the bottom. Without the slope, water collects on the bottom track, and ultimately, mold forms.
bottom rail slope
Make your shower taller (80”)
Height of your shower: Home owners have the option of up to 80" for the height of their shower doors. Keeping the top bar high adds to the frameless look.

Why not turn your outdated washroom into a deliciously luxurious space where you can pamper yourself?

It does not take much to turn your bathroom into a space where you will actually want to spend more time.

A space where you can retreat into a haven of relaxation and blissful solitude; and a space from which you can emerge soothed, refreshed, and reenergized.

Sounds better than your moldy, not-so-fabulous vinyl shower curtain that is hiding some not-so-microscopic bacteria? You're probably right, it's time to upgrade and unwind after a long day of work in your own private oasis that will put any spa to shame, baby!
