Q: Is a glass shower safe?
A: Yes! A glass shower is safe for your bathroom. The glass goes through a tempering process that adds both compressive and tensile strength. Tempered glass has a minimum surface compression of 10,000 pounds per square inch, which makes it about four times stronger than annealed (regular) glass. Your shower glass can withstand many external stresses and thermal loads. With a beautiful new glass enclosure in your bathroom, you can feel safe and at peace.
Q: What is the weight of a typical shower door?
A: A standard shower door measuring 28″ x 72″ and made with 3/8″ thick tempered glass typically weighs around 70 lbs. We use high-quality hardware that can support the weight of the door and handle daily use for many years.
Q: How is a frameless glass shower enclosure installed?
A: Installing a frameless glass shower enclosure involves precise measurements and careful placement of each glass panel. First, durable clear setting blocks are placed under each panel to ensure a perfect fit against the tile walls and floor. The panels are then securely fastened to the walls and floor using high-quality hardware. Finally, long-lasting silicone is used to seal the panels and create a water-tight barrier.
Q: How is a framed glass shower enclosure installed?
A: A framed glass shower enclosure is installed by first fastening metal framing to each wall. Each panel of glass is then placed within the metal framing, and durable rubber gaskets are added around the glass for a snug water seal. Finally, silicone is applied where the metal frame meets the wall to create a water seal. This installation method is a cost-effective option for those who want a glass shower enclosure.
Q: How do I keep my shower glass clean?
A: To keep your shower glass clean and prevent hard water spots, we recommend following these steps:
- After each shower, squeegee the inside surface of your glass.
- Leave the shower door open to air out if possible.
- Once a week, clean the glass with a non-toxic cleaner.
- Once a month, perform a deep clean and scrub down all surfaces to get rid of soap scum and hard water spots.
- Consider purchasing a water softener for your home to greatly reduce hard water on all water contact areas.
