Semi-Framed Shower Screens

Our Semi Frameless Shower Screens

A semi framed (sometimes called semi frameless) shower screen delivers the sweet spot between minimalist design and everyday durability. In modern bathrooms — from compact apartment ensuites to busy family spaces — it brings well defined and geometric symmetry, reliable splash management, and a refined frame detail that coordinates with your tapware, shower grates, and mirrors. Being slim in profile alongside its tempered safety glass, the design balances ergonomic use (easy entry, with smooth swivel and sliding options) with a visual sensibility that complement both contemporary and heritage palettes.

 

Choose a door style that fits your layout. Pivot frames are always helpful to create a generous, uncomplicated opening with a classic look, ideal when you have enough floor clearance for a swing door. If space is tight, on the other hand, a sliding shower screen is the problem-solver for zero door sweep, while double sliding doors maximise central access. For wider spans, a triple panel screen (2 sliding + 1 fixed) keeps movement light and controlled without heavy framing.

Each configuration is available across popular finishes; think Black for an understated, humble sense of elegance, and Chrome for a prouder sentiment on luxury, so your shower screen works within the universe of Bella Vista’s tapware and accessories.

 

For trade and renovators alike, semi framed shower screens deliver value, longevity, and a look that continues to resonate across an evolving body of design languages, without the maintenance of heavier frames or the price point of the fully frameless.

FAQs

  • What is a semi frameless (semi framed) shower screen?

    It uses slim perimeter framing with exposed glass edges, offering a lighter look than fully framed while adding stability and value versus frameless.

  • Pivot or sliding—what’s better for small bathrooms?

    Sliding. A semi frameless sliding shower screen keeps all movement inside the tray, avoiding door-swing clearance in tight ensuites.

  • Front only vs front & return—what’s the difference?

    Front only closes an alcove. Front & return adds a side panel to create a corner enclosure.

  • How do I choose a finish to match my hardware?

    If purchasing a shower screen outright, hardware for our semi-framed shower screens are included, keeping decision-making simple and design language synchronous with the rest of your bath space.
