Framed Shower Doors

Framed Shower Doors in Baton Rouge & Louisiana

Framed shower doors have metal framing around the glass panels. That frame provides structure and support, allowing for thinner glass and (if you choose) simpler hardware. This results in a more affordable shower door that still looks great and will hold up for years to come.

Why Choose Framed Shower Doors?

More Affordable
Since framed doors use thinner glass, they typically cost less. The frame does the structural work, so you don’t need expensive thick glass or heavy-duty hardware.

Better Water Seal
The frame has built-in gaskets and seals that prevent water from escaping. If you’ve got multiple shower heads or strong water pressure, framed doors can handle it better than frameless options.

Lots of Style Options
You can mix and match frame colors with different glass types; clear, frosted, textured, rain, whatever fits your bathroom style.

Durable and Low Maintenance
The aluminum frames don’t corrode in Louisiana humidity. The gaskets may need replacing every 10-15 years, but that is a simple fix.

Wider Availability
Framed doors come in more standard sizes, which can mean a faster turnaround and sometimes same-week installation if we have your size in stock.

Types of Framed Shower Doors

Bypass / Sliding Doors

Two panels that slide past each other on tracks. This is a great option for tighter bathrooms where a swinging door would hit the toilet or vanity.

Pivot Doors

One panel swings open on pivoting hinges. These doors can swing in or out depending upon your space.

Inline Doors

A fixed panel plus a door panel, installed in a straight line.

Neo-Angle Doors

For corner showers. The frame creates a pentagon shape that fits into a corner.

Common Questions

Will the frame rust?

No. We use aluminum frames that won't rust.

How do I clean framed doors?

Wipe down the glass with regular glass cleaner. The frame tracks can collect soap scum, we recommend hitting those with a brush and bathroom cleaner occasionally.

How long does a framed shower last?

The glass and frame last for as long as they are properly taken care of. The rubber gaskets and seals might need replacing every 10-15 years.
