Shower Door Safety

Do you feel confident about your shower door’s strength and resilience?

We’re here to make sure your choice meets your safety expectations. We understand that safety and peace of mind are top priorities when it comes to choosing shower doors. That’s why we prioritize both style and security, so you can step into your shower without worry.

Let’s address some of the most common questions and concerns people have about the safety of their shower glass:

Is Tempered Glass Safe for Shower Doors?

Are you wondering if tempered glass is the right choice for your shower?

All of our shower doors are made with safety glass, typically tempered glass.

Tempered glass undergoes a special heat treatment that makes it four to five times stronger than regular glass. In the rare even of a break, it shatters into small, smooth pieces rather than dangerous shards, reducing the risk of injury.

How Can You Prevent Shower Door Glass Breakage?

Even though tempered glass is extremely durable, you may still worry about accidents. Want to know how to avoid any risks? Here are some proactive steps to take:

1. Avoid Edge Impacts: While tempered glass is strong, it’s most vulnerable at the edges.

2. Keep Sharp Objects Away: Wondering if your bathroom essentials are safe around glass? Make sure metal or sharp items don’t come into contact with it.

3. Notice Rubbing or Scratching? If your door rubs against the frame or other glass, it’s time for a quick fix. Contact us to adjust it before it turns into a bigger problem.

4. Monitor Loose Panels: Is something feeling off? If any part of the glass appears to be separating from its mount, give us a call before it becomes a safety hazard.

Proper Use of Shower Door Hardware

Have you ever grabbed a towel bar for balance? You’re not alone. However, towel bars and handles are designed for towels – not your weight. Using these as grab bars can stress the glass and lead to glass breakage and potential injuries.

It may be worth considering installing proper grab bars instead for added security.

How to Maintain Your Shower Glass

Want your shower glass to last for years without any issues? Routine care will not only keep it looking clear and beautiful but will also preserve its safety:

1. Gentle Cleaning: Use non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloth to avoid scratching the glass surface.

2. Regular Inspections: Check for any signs of wear, loose hardware, or glass damage.

3. Professional Servicing: Schedule periodic check-ups with our experts for optimal performance and safety.
