Replace Framed Door with Frameless?

CaroleOH
16 years ago

I have a shower door that is framed/sliding panels.

One of the wheels has fallen off and although it's only 5 years old, it's looking a tad cruddy, so I'm thinking of just replacing the whole thing vs. trying to repair.

Can I put a frameless door where a framed one was originally? It's a tiled shower and I'm thinking there's probably screw holes from the framed installation?

Also, I sortof like the sliding doors so I can turn on the shower easily without getting wet and didn't like my swing out door in my first house - over 20 years ago - because the door dripped water when opened.

Is there a better swing out door model now that doesn't drip water for those few seconds you're exiting the shower?

What would you do? Framed again, or frameless? Sliding doors or swing out? The opening is 48".

Thanks

Carole
