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.

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.

Installing a framed glass shower door is simpler than installing a frameless shower door because hanging the frame is fairly straightforward. Plus, a framed shower door works on any shower material. You won’t need to stress over the proper positioning of the hinges and hardware, which are already in the frame.
