Right shower door or tub enclosure is a quality product that should last for many years if properly maintained.
When properly installed, the unit should be trouble free and need only proper cleaning to provide long-lasting service.
Checking for Proper Installation
If your unit is properly installed, it should slide, pivot or swing freely without any obstruction. On frameless units, at no point should the glass drag on or hit against the aluminum. For sliders, the inside panel is designed to close against the wall where the showerhead is. The vertical edge of the glass should be adjusted to be parallel to the wall, while the outside panel should be parallel to the opposite wall. Both panels should slide into the jamb without hitting the aluminum. Special bumpers help to guide the glass into the jambs. Your unit should be checked periodically to insure that it remains in proper adjustment.
Note: using a frameless shower door when it is out of adjustment may cause the glass to break.
Care of Aluminum
The aluminum in your shower door is durable and resistant to water damage. It is advisable, but not necessary, to wipe it dry with your towel after your shower. It should be cleaned at least weekly with a soft damp cloth to remove any buildup. If you have hard water and need to use a mild detergent or a stronger cleaning agent, be sure to rinse it off thoroughly.
Although anodized aluminum is exceptionally resistant to corrosion, discoloration and wear, its natural beauty can be marred by harsh chemicals, abuse or neglect. Such conditions usually affect only the surface finish but do not reduce the service life of the aluminum. Many glass cleaners can damage the anodized surface of the aluminum if allowed to remain on the metal for any length of time.
Care of Glass
The glass can be kept clean with any glass cleaner you use elsewhere in your home. Rinse off any glass cleaner that gets on the aluminum as soon as possible to avoid damage to the anodized surface.
Your glass is tempered safety glass, manufactured in accordance with federal standards. It is much stronger than regular (annealed) glass, however it is still breakable. Avoid striking it with any sharp or hard objects. Such damage can cause either immediate or, delayed breakage (usually at a time of temperature change). If your glass does break, it will break instantly into numerous, very small pieces. This is somewhat starling, but substantially safer than when annealed glass breaks. These small pieces sometimes cause superficial cuts, but never cause the severe damage that can occur with non-tempered glass.
A Helpful Hint to Keep Clear Glass Looking Good
To keep your clear glass looking good, it is helpful to squeegee off the glass with a glass squeegee after each shower. It takes only a minute or two and will help keep hard-water spots from building up. You will find that it also helps make cleaning the glass easier and faster when you are cleaning your shower enclosure.
You might want to buy a small plastic (one that will not rust) squeegee with a rubber edge and keep it near the shower for just this purpose. Make sure you get a quality squeegee because they work much better than poorly made ones.
