There are several types of shower doors available, including sliding doors, pivot doors, hinged doors, bi-fold doors, and frameless to semi-frameless doors.

A frameless shower door is a type of shower door that is constructed without a visible metal frame around the edges of the glass panels. Instead, the glass is directly attached to the walls or an adjoining fixed panel using discreet hinges, brackets, or clips. Frameless shower doors offer a clean and minimalist look, as they eliminate the bulky frames found in traditional framed shower doors. They are often made of thick tempered glass for durability and safety. 

Frameless shower doors provide a sleek and modern look, easy maintenance, and improved durability compared to framed shower doors. They also create a sense of openness and enhance the beauty of the bathroom tiles or shower enclosure to be fully showcased.

A semi-frameless shower door combines elements of both framed and frameless designs. It typically features a minimal metal frame around the edges of the glass panels, providing added stability and support while maintaining a sleek appearance. The metal frame is usually thinner compared to fully framed shower doors.

Semi Frameless shower doors provide a sleek and modern look as well.  But in addition to costing less than traditional frameless doors they are much easier to clean and maintain. 

The cost of shower doors can vary depending on factors such as the type of door, size, glass thickness, hardware quality, and how much area you are enclosing. On average, the cost can range from $1,500 to $3,500 dollars.
