Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures | Elegant & Durable Designs by Hansen Glass

When it comes to creating a sleek, modern, and luxurious bathroom, few upgrades make a bigger impact than frameless glass shower enclosures. At Hansen Glass, we specialize in delivering custom glass solutions that elevate your home’s style and functionality. As a family-owned business with over 37 years of experience in window and glass services, we bring craftsmanship, quality, and reliability to every project—especially when it comes to frameless showers.

In this post, we’ll explore what frameless glass shower enclosures are, their benefits, design options, and why Hansen Glass is the trusted choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their bathroom with elegance and durability.

What Are Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures?

Frameless glass shower enclosures are sleek shower systems constructed without the use of metal framing around the glass panels. Instead of bulky aluminum or metal frames, thick tempered glass (typically ⅜” to ½” thick) is used to create a clean, minimalist appearance. Small brackets, hinges, and clips hold the glass in place, offering strength without sacrificing style.

Unlike framed or semi-framed alternatives, frameless enclosures offer a seamless, open look—perfect for modern bathroom designs.

Why Homeowners Love Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures

1. Modern Aesthetic Appeal

Frameless enclosures provide a clean, sophisticated look that enhances any bathroom style—from contemporary to transitional. The open, airy design allows tile work and fixtures to stand out, making even small bathrooms appear more spacious.

2. Customizable for Any Space

At Hansen Glass, we tailor each frameless shower enclosure to your exact measurements. Whether you have a corner shower, alcove, or walk-in design, our custom solutions ensure a perfect fit and flawless finish.

3. Durability and Strength

Frameless enclosures use tempered safety glass, which is four to five times stronger than regular glass. This makes them incredibly durable and long-lasting. Our expert installation ensures everything is sealed and secure for daily use.

4. Easy to Clean and Maintain

With fewer metal parts and joints, frameless enclosures reduce places where mold, mildew, and grime typically collect. A quick squeegee after use and occasional glass cleaner keep your shower crystal clear.

5. Increase Property Value

Bathrooms are one of the most important rooms in terms of home resale value. Installing a frameless glass shower not only modernizes the space but also adds perceived value and appeal to potential buyers.
