Semi-Frameless Shower Screens Sydney
Semi-frameless shower screens are toughened glass shower screens that use a slim partial frame on some edges and bare glass on others. Each semi-frameless shower screen pairs a fixed panel with a pivot door, which gives the frameless look at a lower price. We make every semi-frameless screen at our factory and install it across Sydney, direct and with no showroom markup.
What is a semi-frameless shower screen?
A semi-frameless shower screen is a glass shower screen that frames the outer edges and leaves the door front and inner edges bare. The design gives the open look of frameless glass with the structural support of a light frame. A semi-frameless screen uses a pivot door beside a fixed panel, or a sliding door in tight bathrooms. The sleek, minimalist style suits ensuites, walk-in showers and most bathroom layouts.
How thick is the glass in a semi-frameless shower screen?
Semi-frameless shower screens use 6mm to 10mm toughened glass. Toughened glass is heat-treated safety glass that breaks into small blunt pieces instead of sharp shards. The 6mm thickness keeps the screen affordable, while 10mm glass adds durability and a more solid door front. We toughen every panel to Australian standards before installation, so the screen stays safe and stable in daily use.
What sizes do semi-frameless shower screens come in?
Semi-frameless shower screens come in standard heights around 1950mm and widths built to your opening. We make each panel and return panel to measure, so the screen fits square or out-of-square walls. A u-channel holds the fixed panel against the wall and corrects square wall issues. Standard configurations include a single door, a door with a return panel, and a panel-only shower screen for walk-in showers.
What hardware and colour finishes suit a semi-frameless shower screen?
Semi-frameless shower screens use a pivot door, hinges, a handle and a wall channel. Each part comes in a selection of finishes including chrome, polished silver, brushed nickel and black adjustable hardware. We match the finish to your tapware and bathroom design. The frame and hardware add stability and make a semi-frameless screen easier to install than a fully frameless panel.
Semi-frameless or frameless shower screens?
Semi-frameless and frameless shower screens differ in the amount of frame and the price. The table below compares the 2 options.
| Attribute | Semi-frameless shower screen | Frameless shower screen |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | Slim partial frame | No frame |
| Glass | 6mm to 10mm toughened glass | 10mm toughened glass |
| Price | Affordable | Premium |
| Look | Open with light framing | Clear, minimalist |
A semi-frameless screen gives the best of both worlds: a frameless look at a sharper price. For the fully open option, see our frameless shower screens range.
