If you’ve been dreaming of a sleek, modern bathroom, chances are you’ve seen frameless glass shower doors everywhere. They’re elegant, minimal, and instantly upgrade the look of a bathroom. But what if you don’t have a walk-in shower – what if you have a tub/shower combo?
Good news: yes, you can install a frameless shower door on a tub. And for many homeowners, it’s one of the best ways to give a traditional bathtub a high-end, custom look.
Why Choose a Frameless Shower Door for a Tub?
Most tub/shower combos use a shower curtain or framed sliding door, which can make your bathroom feel smaller and more cluttered. A frameless shower door for bathtubs solves that problem by giving you:
- An Open, Airy Look – The clear glass makes the bathroom feel larger and brighter.
- Modern Style – Frameless glass instantly elevates the space, giving it a spa-like feel.
- Easy Cleaning – No metal tracks along the tub edge = no grime or mildew build-up.
- Durability – Tempered glass and heavy-duty hardware are designed to last for years.
What Types of Frameless Tub Enclosures Are Available?
When it comes to bathtub shower glass, you have a few stylish options:
- Frameless Sliding Doors – Great for smaller bathrooms where a swinging door isn’t practical. They glide smoothly without bulky tracks.
- Swinging Hinged Doors – Works best if you have space in the bathroom for the door to open outward.
- Fixed Glass Panels – A minimalist style that covers part of the tub, while leaving an open walk-in area.
- Custom Designs – At Frameless By Design, we can create glass enclosures tailored to your tub’s exact size, angles, and layout.
Things to Consider Before Installation
While installing a frameless shower door on a tub is absolutely possible, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Bathroom Size – Hinged doors need clearance to swing open, while sliders are better for tight spaces.
Wall Strength – The glass panels will need secure anchoring into solid wall surfaces.
Glass Height – Most frameless tub doors are designed to keep water contained while still allowing ventilation.
Custom Fit – Every tub is different—our CAD software ensures a perfect fit, no matter your layout.
