[ About frameless 80° ]

What goes into a frameless 80° project.

An 80° — effectively straight, in-line — enclosure is the workhorse of the frameless catalogue: one or two panels and a door set along a single wall or across a tub deck, with nothing but a hinge line and a header brace holding the glass. Because there is no frame to disguise a leaning wall, the whole installation lives or dies on the measurement. We laser-map the opening at top, middle and bottom, then cut ⅜″ or ½″ tempered glass to that exact profile so the vertical seams stay tight and even from curb to header. Glass selection is where the room's character is decided: standard clear reads bright and neutral against most tile, Starphire low-iron strips the faint green from the edges when the tile is white or pale stone, and satin-frosted or lightly tinted panels trade some transparency for privacy. Hardware is stainless as standard, with brushed brass and matte black available to match the fixtures. For homeowners the practical questions are curb height, how the door needs to clear the vanity, and whether the wall can carry a taller single panel. We fabricate every enclosure at the Carrollton shop and set it as the last trade in the room, coordinating the install date with tile setters and plumbers on remodels across Carrollton, Plano and Frisco rather than holding up the job.
