Semi Framed
Add a touch of vogue to the standard model by opting for a frameless toughened glass door, characterised by the knob handle set into the glass.
Semi-Framed Shower Screens
Semi-framed shower screens are a middle ground between fully framed and fully frameless shower screens. They combine elements of both styles, offering a balance between aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. Here’s an overview of semi-framed shower screens:
Key Features:
-
Partial Framing: Semi-framed screens feature a thin frame around some parts of the glass panels, typically along the edges or the top and bottom. The glass doors themselves may not have a frame around them, giving a more open look compared to fully framed screens.
-
Toughened Glass: Like fully frameless screens, semi-framed screens are usually made from toughened glass for safety. The glass is typically thinner than that used in fully frameless screens at 6mm thick.
-
Support and Stability: The partial frame provides additional structural support, making the screen more stable than fully frameless options while still maintaining a relatively sleek appearance.
-
Cost-Effective: Semi-framed screens are generally more affordable than fully frameless options, offering a modern look without the higher price tag.
-
Versatility: They are available in a variety of styles, including sliding, pivot, and hinged doors, making them adaptable to different bathroom layouts and preferences.
Considerations:
-
Aesthetic Balance: While they don’t offer the completely open look of fully frameless screens, they still provide a modern and less bulky appearance compared to fully framed screens.
-
Installation: Semi-framed screens require professional installation to ensure a perfect fit.
-
Water Containment: The presence of a frame helps to better contain water compared to fully frameless screens, reducing the likelihood of leaks.
-
Maintenance: The frame can attract soap scum and mold over time, especially in the corners and crevices, so regular cleaning is important to maintain its appearance and functionality.
-
Durability: The partial frame adds durability and can help to extend the life of the screen, especially in high-traffic bathrooms.
Applications:
- Family Bathrooms: Ideal for busy bathrooms where durability and water containment are important.
- Compact Spaces: The semi-framed design can make smaller bathrooms look more spacious while still providing the practical benefits of a frame.
- Variety of Styles: Works well with both traditional and modern bathroom designs, offering flexibility in design choices.
