Collection: Semi Frameless Shower Screens

Frameless Screens vs Semi Frameless Screens

Semi frameless screens use thinner 8mm toughened safety glass, supported by a slim aluminium frame along some edges. The perimeter channels can also be fine-tuned during installation to accommodate walls that aren't perfectly square.

In comparison, frameless screens use no metal frame at all, relying on thicker 10mm or 12mm toughened glass to stay rigid.

Our semi frameless options are a practical middle ground between fully framed and frameless designs, and they can still maintain the minimalist look.

Why Choose a Semi Frameless Shower Screen?

The slim frame around a semi frameless screen isn't just a design detail. It adds durability, more structural support and room for adjustment during installation.

Semi frameless kits often suit larger openings or pivot doors where a fully frameless panel would need much thicker glass to stay stable.

Semi frameless panels can also sit comfortably in smaller bathrooms, with defined edges that create a clear outline while maintaining a spacious, open feel.

Glass Thickness, Safety & Care

Our semi frameless shower screens use high-quality 8mm toughened safety glass, compliant with AS/NZS 2208 and manufactured to Grade A safety glass standards, as required for all shower screens sold in Australia.

Toughened glass is engineered to be up to five times stronger than standard glass.

If it does break, it's designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. This adds an extra layer of durability and safety to your bathroom.

The slim frame provides additional support at the edges, while seals along the base and sides help direct water back into the shower and reduce the risk of mould building up around the frame over time.

To keep your screen performing well over time, wipe down the aluminium frame regularly to help prevent corrosion.

Clean the glass with a soft cloth to prevent soap scum, grime and water spots from affecting the look and functionality of your shower screen.

Hardware Finishes & Style

Every semi frameless shower screen comes in sleek chrome or matte black hardware finishes, crafted for a modern look.

This lets you match the rest of your bathroom fittings and complement your bathroom's existing style. Each kit comes with the hardware you need, in finishes to suit your bathroom decor and style.

Hinges and handles are available separately if you need extra hardware or a replacement to complete your setup.

Semi Frameless Shower Screens FAQs

Do semi frameless doors pivot or slide?

Semi frameless designs usually use pivot doors rather than sliding doors. Our semi frameless kits use pivot doors that can be flipped for left or right opening, so check you have enough clearance in front of the shower base.

Are semi frameless shower screens easier to install than frameless screens?

The slim perimeter frame allows for some adjustment during installation, which can make semi frameless screens easier to fit when walls aren't perfectly aligned. Installation costs for semi frameless shower screens are also generally lower. Fully frameless screens tend to require precision installation, increasing costs. We’re supply-only, but we can connect you with a qualified installer from our local trade network.
