Between a framed door and full frameless glass sits the practical middle path: semi-frameless. Slim framing on a few edges gives the glass its support and keeps the price friendlier, while the look stays clean and open. For Fort Lee condo and co-op owners updating a dated bath, it is often the right call. Our crew cuts the glass to your opening and handles the install. Start with a free in-home measure.
Semi-frameless puts slim framing on just a few edges, usually along a wall or the base, and leaves the rest of the glass open and clean. You still get real tempered glass and a bright, uncluttered shower, but that bit of framing shoulders part of the load, which makes the door simpler to build and easier on the budget. It is most of the frameless look for a good deal less.
You still make the calls that matter. Choose clear or low-iron ultra-clear glass, add the optional easy-clean coating, and match the framing and handle to your fixtures across fifteen finishes. It is a strong fit for a second bath, a guest bath, or any Fort Lee update where you want a genuine glass upgrade without paying for a full frameless enclosure. We fabricate in our own shop and install with our own crew, usually in one visit.
Not every Fort Lee bath needs to be finished at the top of the range. In the condo and co-op towers, plenty of owners are refreshing a single dated bathroom, keeping the tile they have and spending where it counts. Semi-frameless glass fits that thinking. It reads as a clear upgrade over an old framed slider without asking for a full frameless budget, which suits a market where a lot of units change hands and value matters.
Because it works so well in second baths and guest baths, semi-frameless is easy to plan around. We measure in your Fort Lee home for free and lay out exactly where the framing goes, so nothing surprises you, and in a tower we work with building requirements to keep the install clean and on schedule. If you want to compare it against full frameless glass, our Lodi showroom is about fifteen minutes west and open Saturday nine to four.

Usually, yes. With the framing carrying part of the load, the build is simpler and the cost typically lands under full frameless, though we still will not post a flat number. Opening size, glass thickness and type, and finish each move the price. Measuring your bath is the only honest way to answer it, so we quote firm and itemized after the free in-home measure. Monthly payment options are available too.
About one to two weeks, the same as our other doors. Your glass gets cut and the framing prepped in our own Lodi shop after the free measure, and the install itself usually wraps in a single visit. The straightforward framing keeps these builds moving smoothly. If your Fort Lee project is timed around a new vanity, a floor, or a building's schedule, tell us and we will land the glass to suit it.
Modern, easily. Semi-frameless framing is slim and sits only where it earns its keep, along a wall edge or the base. It never wraps every side the way the bulky aluminum sliders in older Fort Lee baths do, so the big glass panels stay open and bright. Once the old framed door is gone, most people are surprised how little separates it from full frameless.
It is one of the best. A guest bath or a second bath in a Fort Lee unit does not always need a top-of-the-range frameless enclosure, and semi-frameless gives you a real glass upgrade for less. Daily use does not faze it, cleanup stays easy, especially with the optional coating, and it looks a world better than the framed slider it replaced. At the measure we will help you fit it to the room.
Yes. Fifteen hardware finishes run from polished chrome and brushed nickel through matte black and oil-rubbed bronze, which means the framing and handle can pick up your faucet, lights and towel bars. Updating a Fort Lee bath in stages? Bring a photo or the finish name to the measure and we will pair the glass hardware to the room as it stands.
