Can a multi-paneled shower enclosure have metal around its perimeter and a header across the top and still be considered a heavy, glass, frameless shower?
Yes. Some shower enclosure configurations function better with a header, but do not necessarily require metal around the perimeter, as the header itself, once attached to the top of the glass and screwed to the wall, will provide all the support the glass needs to maintain strength and rigidity. CAFSD prefers the header method, as we believe it provides a durable, safe, long-lasting enclosure, while still maintaining an elegant look.
