A frameless sliding tub door replaces the shower curtain, the last low-quality element in most bathrooms, with a panel of clear tempered glass. With minimal hardware and no fabric liner, it contains water, opens up the room, and reduces maintenance to a quick squeegee. Here is why VIGO frameless sliding tub doors are so low-maintenance, and the models we recommend. Why Frameless Sliding Tub Doors Are Easier to CleanLess hardware, no curtain, smooth-glide rollers Frameless glass means fewer tracks, gaskets and corners where grime and mildew collect. Sealed roller systems slide cleanly and resist buildup, so the door keeps moving freely for years. Best of all, there is no curtain liner to scrub or replace, a quick squeegee after each shower keeps the panel crystal clear with no harsh chemicals.
