Available in both framed and frameless units. Framed units include aluminum framework around the glass and are generally less expensive than frameless units. Frameless units provide a more contemporary open look since they use a minimal amount of framing around the glass. Frameless units use thicker glass than framed units – generally 3/8” or ½” glass, and can add substantially to the value of a house. Both framed and frameless utilize tempered safety glass. Many different options for glass type and hardware finish are available.
