1 Framed, 1 frame-less.. Shower Enclosures by: Texas Remodel
Here are two completed bathroom remodels. Both include custom shower enclosure based upon cultured marble. Custom glass, mirrors, granite and tile. Yes the down stair is only semi frame-less..The upstairs bath has sliding glass doors so it has to have a header track system. We refer to the lack of edge framing. Sorry for the confusion.
Regards,
Texas Remodel

I think this has become a marketing statement. I notice Kohler has many "Frameless" doors that have headers like above. I think they are refering to the lack of edgeframing on the glass. Seems like a bending of words.....

We can do completely frame-less enclosures at the customers request, but this is what we market from a cost perspective. Most of our clients want a middle road between cost and aesthetics. We meet those requirements in this application. That is the difference in the mind set between Texas and California overwhelmingly. Texas is Conservative by all means. I did in haste write the post incorrectly. My apologies.

I would call those semi frame less like the kohler one with doors with no metal but a header. How much do they run juct a range would fine curious as to area to area.

I use this company at the link below for our shower doors.
http://www.fasterandbetter.com
And I guess the terminology is getting a little mixed up, he says "true frameless" now on his website on the ones that truely don't have a frame.

The only thing we call a true frameless enclosure is a "Euro Style" glass, it can have a header depending on the configuration, but only for stability. The real difference is the thickness of the glass between Euro and everything else and the hard ware of the hinges.
Texas is very different then around here, those pictures would be the before shots here, they all look like they were built in the 80-90s.

The company I get my glass from does true frameless. The only time that we use a U channel is when we are going to a drywall ceiling.
That being said, if a header system is needed, and they are sometimes, it adds about $450.00 to the job.

Sorry you took my post the wrong way. With my company I am fortunate enough to work in some very nice homes so I see the high end shower enclosures, this is why I questioned your post.
Glad I was able to educate you on your products, way to man up and fix yourself.
And thank you for your offer but I only play with girls.
