A flawless, new shower door gives your bathroom a
fresh look, but it is common to wonder about the
safety of installing glass in one of the
slipperiest areas of your home.
3
You might also worry about the safety of these
types of doors if youve ever seen other types
of glass shatter, such as a window.
4
While a new shower door looks fragile, it should
be able to stand up to years of frequent use.
We ensure your showers new glass door will
resist shattering by knowing how to prevent
breakage at each step of the installation process.
5
Expect Safe and Durable Materials
6
Shower doors are much safer today than they were
in the past. Modern doors must meet federal
safety standards and comply with local building
codes.
7
Still, it is possible to run into companies that
try to cut corners by making doors out of less
durable materials. When you receive our quote
on a shower door installation, feel free to ask
us which brands of glass our company uses.
8
Starting out with a door from a manufacturer
that is known for producing high-quality pieces
will give you confidence that it will meet safety
standards.
9
Pay Attention to the Installation
10
A reputable installer only uses tempered glass
for shower doors, and their attention to detail
goes even further than picking out safe
materials.
11
Our experienced installers know how to use the
proper hardware to put in the door, so that it
doesnt hit other surfaces in the space, or drag
on the bottom of the shower.
12
You will also notice that our installers are
careful to hold the glass properly and protect it
from damage by using strategies such as leaving
on the corner covers.
13
Theyll also make sure that the hardware is
firmly secured and that any bumpers are in their
proper places to reduce pressure on the glass.
14
Check Regularly for Wear and Tear
15
Once the door is installed, our technicians will
finish up by inspecting each critical component
of the door mount. If any flaws are found,
theyll make the necessary corrections.
16
After that, you can do your part to maintain
safety in your bathroom by checking the door
regularly for any signs of damage and treating it
with care.
17
Depending upon when the door was installed, it
may still be under the manufacturers warranty
or be covered under our installation policy.
18
Experience matters when it comes to making sure
that your shower door doesnt break. Weve
trained our team to use a multi-point system to
ensure every door is safe, even before we bring
it into your bathroom.
19
We start by only working with reputable
suppliers. Then, we check each door to make
sure that it doesnt have any blemishes.
20
As we work, we make sure the door never touches
other surfaces that could cause breakage, such
as ceramic tile.
21
After the installation is complete, we do a
final check to make sure that the door is free of
any imperfections before finally asking for your
approval.
22
By the time that you enter your shower, you can
be sure that it has passed through multiple
checks so that it is unlikely to shatter.
