If you’ve decided to nix you’re outdated shower curtains or are just looking to modernize your bathroom then deciding what type of enclosure you want is the first step. There are 3 enclosures you can choose from including: frameless enclosures, semi-frameless enclosures, and framed enclosures.
Frameless Enclosures are typically installed with the use of specifically designed hardware (clamps and hinges) which leave the edges of the glass exposed, hence the name frameless. They have either a bypass or pivot door, with the later being the most popular.
