Frameless shower doors are durable. They consist of tempered glass that is very heavy and thick. The bulkiness complicates the installation process, but it also increases durability. Occasionally, an imperfection in the tempered glass during the manufacturing process or a mistake during installation could cause the glass to shatter when placed under stress. However, such an occurrence would be extremely rare.

Yes, you can replace shower doors without replacing the frame. However, the new doors have to be compatible with the old frame, which can be problematic. New door designs and glass thicknesses may be too heavy for an older frame. The frame must also be in good condition, with no damage, rust, or warping that could compromise its strength and durability.
