What to Know Before Installation

Frameless showers deliver a sleek, modern, and open look, but they require careful preparation for durability and safety. Here’s what to consider before you start:

Preparation & Requirements

• ✔ Perfectly Aligned Walls: Walls and floors must be square and level to ensure proper fitment.
• ✔ Waterproofing: Proper waterproofing is essential to avoid leaks and long-term issues.
• ✔ Safety Glass: Frameless showers typically use 8–10mm tempered safety glass.
• ✔ Budget: Frameless options cost more than framed showers due to materials and precision installation.

Advantages of Frameless Showers

• ✔ Elegant, contemporary aesthetics
• ✔ Creates a spacious, open feel
• ✔ Easy to clean and maintain
• ✔ Boosts property value

Challenges to Keep in Mind

• ✘ Higher cost than framed units
• ✘ Requires professional precision fitting
