Although bathroom shower screens are functional, they can also be a design statement. Nothing says frameless better than a semi-frameless or frameless shower screen. However, when it comes to making a choice, they both have their relative pros and cons, so what’s good for one person might not necessarily suit the criteria of another.

Cost

When it comes to cost, the frameless variety is often up to 50% more expensive. As the name suggests, it’s a screen that has no framing around it whatsoever, and this means that it’s held up with a sophisticated fixing mechanism using specialised toughened fixings. This is where the bulk of the cost is swallowed up.

A semi-frameless shower screen, on the other hand, is framed around the perimeter of the glass, and as they’re easier to fit and don’t require specialist fixings, they’re usually cheaper.

Aesthetics

When it comes to overall finish and look, both can appear fantastic given the right setting; however, if you were a perfectionist going for that sophisticated, seamless, steam-lined design in your bathroom, then a frameless shower screen really does give it the wow factor. For this reason, it has the edge.

So what’s the verdict?

Semi-frameless bathroom shower screens can still give a great look and come in many different guises. They also offer virtually everything a frameless shower screen can offer. So if you’re looking to jazz up your bathroom with a glass shower screen without the high cost, consider a semi-framed version.

If, however, you won’t compromise when it comes to specific design aspects, then be prepared to dig deep and pay considerably more.
