Frameless Sliding Shower Doors, Made to Fit Your Sydney Bathroom
A frameless sliding shower door has no frame around the glass. One panel is fixed and one slides across it, so nothing swings into the room and there is no deep channel to clean around. Showerland makes frameless sliding shower doors in 10mm toughened glass, cut to your opening, and installs them across Sydney from our Blacktown base. The work is covered by our 12 month workmanship warranty.
How a frameless sliding shower door works
A frameless sliding door is made of two panels of glass. One is fixed to the wall and floor. The other is the door, and it slides across the fixed panel when you open it. You choose which side the fixed panel sits on, to suit where the tap and the shower head are.
The door hangs on its hardware, and that hardware is the only metal you see. Because the door travels sideways, you do not need floor space in front of the shower for it to swing, which is why it suits a narrow bathroom or a vanity that sits close.
Because one panel slides across the other, the way in is roughly the width of the moving panel, not the whole opening. That is the honest trade with any slider, and we talk it through at the measure.
Who a frameless sliding shower door suits
It suits a narrow bathroom, an ensuite with a vanity close to the shower, and any room where a swinging door would clip something. It also suits a bath and shower in one, where the glass sits on the bath edge and the door slides along it instead of swinging out over the taps.
It suits people who want the clean look of frameless glass without a door that opens into the room. And it suits anyone tired of scrubbing a track: with no aluminium frame around the glass, there is no deep channel for soap scum to settle in.
Frameless sliding or a frameless hinged door
Both are frameless, and the right one depends on the room. A hinged door opens across the full width of the opening, but it needs space to swing, and a hinged door can be up to 700mm wide and 40kg. A wider opening gets a fixed panel beside the door.
A sliding door needs no swing at all. If a vanity, a toilet or the bathroom door sits close to the shower, a sliding door avoids the problem. If you have the room and want the widest entry, a hinged door is often the better fit. We will tell you which we would choose at the measure, and why.
Sizes and the opening
Every frameless sliding shower door is cut to your opening. Standard screen height is 2000mm, and taller screens are made to measure on request. A single sliding door typically spans an opening between 1200mm and 1800mm wide.
At the measure we check the opening at the top, middle and bottom, because walls are rarely the same width all the way up. We check that the walls and floor are plumb and level, where the tap and shower head sit, and what is beside the screen, such as a vanity, a window or a bath edge. Toughened glass cannot be cut once it is made, which is why the measure has to be right.
What to tell us before the measure
You do not need to prepare much. A few details help us bring the right thing and plan the visit:
The finish you like. Tell us your tapware, so we can talk through matching hardware.
Which side the tap and shower head are on. It decides which side the fixed panel goes.
What sits around the shower. A vanity, a toilet, a window or a bath edge. Mention anything unusual, such as a sloping ceiling or an out-of-square wall.
Whether there is an old screen. If one is coming out, tell us. Removal and disposal of an old screen is priced in the same quote.
Clear the shower floor if you can. That lets us see the fall towards the drain.
Glass and hardware
Glass. Our frameless sliding doors use 10mm toughened glass. Toughened glass is heat treated for strength, and if it ever does break it breaks into small pieces rather than long shards. With no frame to help, thickness is what keeps a frameless screen stiff.
Finishes. The visible hardware, including the handle, rollers and fittings, comes in chrome, matt black, brushed nickel and brass. Match it to your tapware and the rest of the bathroom reads as one set.
What a frameless sliding shower door costs
A frameless sliding door is priced on measure, because the figure depends on your opening. Four things move it: the width and height, the finish of the hardware, whether the door goes in a shower recess or over a bath, and whether an old screen is coming out.
For context, a frameless fixed panel starts from $880 installed, and you can see every published starting price together on our shower screen pricing page.
Your exact price comes after we measure. Once we have measured, the price we quote is the price you pay. The measure visit is $55, and that $55 is credited to your install if you go ahead. If you would like a ballpark before booking the visit, ask for a quote online or call 0421 717 044.
Do frameless sliding shower doors leak?
Any screen can let a little water past the door edge. Three things control it: the fall of the floor towards the drain, the seals on the door edge and the bottom of the panel, and a tight fit to the wall. We check all three when we measure and fit seals on install, so a small splash at the door edge does not become a puddle outside the shower. If water is escaping after install, tell us and we will look at it.
A small habit helps too. Point the shower head away from the door edge and the water stays where it belongs.
What happens on install day
Your glass arrives already cut to the measurements we took, so the time on site goes into marking out, fixing the hardware, levelling the glass and sealing it. Our installer fits the door, and the installation itself takes about 2 hours once they arrive. Before they leave, they run the door through its full travel and check it runs smoothly and closes where it should.
Cleaning a frameless sliding shower door
With no frame around the glass, there is no aluminium channel for soap scum to settle in. Wipe the glass down with a squeegee or a soft cloth after use and it stays clear.
Use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. Strong detergents and hard scrubbing can scratch the glass and mark chrome and other metal finishes, so keep the abrasives out of the shower.
Prefer a frame?
A frameless door is not the only way to slide. If you would rather have a slim or full frame around the glass, we fit those too. See all sliding shower screens for the three builds and their starting prices.

Questions about frameless sliding shower doors
Generally yes. With no frame around the glass there is no deep channel for soap scum to build up in, so a regular wipe-down is usually enough. Framed and semi frameless sliders run in a track that wants an occasional clean.
A frameless sliding door is priced on measure, because the figure depends on your opening, the hardware finish and whether it goes over a bath. A frameless fixed panel starts from $880 installed, for comparison. The measure visit is $55, credited to your install if you go ahead.
The installation itself takes about 2 hours once our installer arrives. We confirm your install date with you after the measure.
We're fully booked until Monday 3 November 2026. A deposit can still lock in your install slot from that date.
Yes. We measure the bath lip, the tap position and the splash zone first, because the bath edge is rarely level and the glass has to sit on it cleanly. See our over bath shower screens for the other layouts that go over a bath.
Standard screen height is 2000mm. Taller screens are made to measure on request.
Yes. Fixed panel on the left or the right, whichever suits your tap, shower head and the way you walk in. We settle it at the measure.
