Custom semi-frameless shower door installation for homes across Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. The perfect balance of modern aesthetics and structural stability at an excellent value.
A semi-frameless shower door gives you the clean, open look of frameless glass on the door panel while using minimal framing on the fixed panels for added support. It is the smart middle ground between fully framed and fully frameless -- and our Arlington-based team installs them throughout the DMV.

A single glass door panel with no frame mounted on wall hinges, paired with a fixed panel that has a thin channel frame along its edges.
Two glass panels on a framed track system -- one fixed and one sliding. The header and bottom tracks provide stability while the glass panels remain free.
A corner shower enclosure with channel-framed fixed panels on two walls and a frameless door panel.
Semi-frameless glass door and panel system designed for bathtub and shower combinations.
A frameless pivot door panel paired with channel-framed fixed panels. The door pivots on top and bottom pins rather than side hinges, creating a wider.
Remove your old fully framed shower door and upgrade to a semi-frameless system.
Advantages
Semi-frameless doors hit the sweet spot between style and value. Here is why DMV homeowners choose semi-frameless for their bathroom upgrades.
Semi-frameless doors combine the clean look of frameless glass with the structural support and stability of a framed system.
All semi-frameless doors use code-compliant tempered glass that is 4-5 times stronger than standard glass and shatters safely if broken.
With the door panel free of framing, there are fewer channels and crevices where soap scum and mold can collect compared to fully framed enclosures.
Semi-frameless doors deliver a significant visual upgrade over fully framed doors at a lower cost than fully frameless systems, making them the sweet spot.
The combination of tempered glass and structural framing creates a robust enclosure that handles daily use for decades without sagging, warping, or losing.
The partial frame helps compensate for walls that are not perfectly plumb or surfaces that are slightly uneven -- a common reality in older DMV homes.
