Frameless shower doors?

[bowlica]

We went with semi-frameless just because of the added price with frameless and I still liked the look of minimal framing..

We have 2 of them and I haven't noticed any real issue with leaking at all.

We have a frameless door and I love it; it looks great.

We don't have any problems with leaking but we have a small step to go into the shower. To save on costs, we opted to go with a mostly closed in shower; only the door is glass. (Our old shower was all glass on one side... with a beautiful GOLD frame, haha. It's so much better now!)

We just had one installed this year. I LOVE the look. It does leak a bit, but I have a mat so it's not really a problem. I am very unhappy with my shower head- way too wide of a spray which is why I think it leaks.
Our door was ~$1200, installed. It really is stunning. For a shower door

We had a frameless shower put in when we renovated our last house. I absolutely would recommend it. We never had any leaking issues and had it 4 years before selling the house. It did have the plastic/rubber sweep at the bottom which was the original and still intact when we left. It made the bathroom look so much nicer than a framed shower. We had to recaulk one part, but that was no big deal, it wasn't leaking much and was easily fixed.

Quick wipe and I love it so much.

Ours have never leaked.

Ours has plastic on the bottom and sides. There is a bit of water leakage due to the shape of our shower but it's not a big deal to wipe up after every shower.

Here's ours. it's hard to see, lol, but it's there! It leaks at the bottom left. It does have a plastic sweeper thingie but just along the bottom. I think it leaks because of the direction of the shower head. It basically sprays right at it; it's a wide spray. Sure wish I would have known that before I dropped a bazillion bucks on it :/
But I LOVE our frameless shower door. No regrets.

We had a frameless at our old house, and we loved it. It looks so much better that the extra money was worth it to us.

I wouldn't say it leaked -- you would end up with a bit of water on the floor, but it was mostly water that dripped off the door when it was open. Our door could open in or out, so I'd usually pull it in a bit to move the water toward the drain, then open it out to step out.

Our shower head was pretty far from the door, though.

We have a large shower with one header track to support. We couldn't go completely frameless. We don't have any problems with leaking. I'll pip in a few minutes when I go upstairs.

Here are pics of our shower. It was installed about 4 months ago.

We didn't have a large span. I can't remember what it was now. But I would definitely follow the recommendations of the manufacturers/installers. The house we have now has a frameless shower door thing, instead of a shower curtain, on the bathtub. Someone didn't install the master bath one correctly and it already has issues.

Also, make sure your shower head is NOT pointed at the door. Well, unless you like cold sprays of water all over you or the bathroom.

Lurker chiming in. We have 60x60 doors on both with the seals at the bottom still there after roughly 5 years of use. Our curbs are about 6 inches with an inch of black marble that has a two inch lip inside to help keep the water inside the shower. The doors also open in and out which helps keep the floor dry. It's easy to open in and get out without the door even going over the floor. We only have one metal support on the side that blends with the tile and wall. We've only been in the house about 6 weeks, but the owner before took about 4 showers a day in our bath and everything still looks new. The other bath took a lot of abuse and still looks great too. I wouldn't want frames, but since we have frameless frosted glass bathroom doors and frameless glass on our stairs it would have been a big let down if the showers had frames.

We have a frameless - our shower is 68x60ish, so it's pretty large. We love it. We have a sweep under the door & use a squegee (sp?) on the glass when either of us finish showering. It's caulked well & anchored properly. That was our biggest concern.  We've had no water leaks & the body sprays, spray directly toward the glass.  

Definitely worth the money for the look
PIP - reflection of window over tub is in glass....and we're still trying to finish up a lot of our renovations

Our remodel has been finished a little over a year and we haven't had any issues with ours. Ours is 46" x 72". It has an 18" panel and the door is 28". I tried to get a pic, but the darn reflection and flash are annoying me.
