Shower doors
I saw an ad, and cannot find it now for new shower doors that were sliding but frameless. Have you seen? Used? Worth the price?

A frameless sliding shower door still uses a metal track and wall jambs. It just means that the sliding door panels dont have metal frames around them. The glass is drilled for the rollers and towel bars. You can get one at Home Depot for a little over $200 in my neck of the woods.

Just a question, Is the one panel fixed? It looks that way on the pic.
Looks like a nice unit!

Not sure if one panel is fixed but I found out today that I can get that door 6X6 installed for 3800.00, not bad.

It's also sold under the MTI Whirlpools name, same pricing--same photo. They call it the Teutonic series.
It comes in two finishes.. polished stainless and brushed stainless. I'm using one on master we're in the middle of tile on. Price is pretty comparable to a custom enclosure.

CR Laurence has been selling a similar kit for a while called the Hydroslide.
URL-

(I had to type it that way because I can't post URLs yet  )
But really, that style has been seen in European designs for about 5 years now. You can find a variety of US manufacturers and variations on it. I've seen kits for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" glass so there is some flexibility with price.
Just makes sure your customers don't expect a 100% watertight application, they aren't made to be fish tanks, regardless of what some people think.

That model looks similar--the headrail is a bit clunky.
I've installed two of the Fleurco Kinetic and we've not had any issues with water. They're as adjustable as a 3D cabinet hinge (both the operating and stationary panel), and the fins and seals do a very good job-without silicone. The only sealant used is for the small drip edge at the sill:
