WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRAMELESS SHOWERS: CLIPS VS u-CHANNEL:? DIFFERENT COMPANIES INSTALL DIFFERENTLY. WE INSTALL ALL OUR FRAMELESS ENCLOSURES ON CLIPS GIVING YOU A TOTALLY FRAMELESS LOOK. WE WILL MEASURE FOR YOUR GLASS TO BE OUT OF SQUARE IN NEEDED. U-CHANNEL OR ALUMINUM RAILING GIVES YOU A METAL AROUND THE PERIMETER OF YOUR GLASS,, MOST COMPANIES CALL THIS "sEMI-fRAMELESS".
CAN DIFFERENT HARDWARE BE ADDED TO MY SHOWER ENCLOSURE? YES, YOU CAN ADD TOWEL BARS, TOWEL BAR HANDLE COMBOS, ROBE HOOKS, AND OVER SIZED HANDLES TO YOUR SHOWER. ONCE YOUR SHOWER IS MADE JUST FOR YOU WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY OPTION TO FIT YOUR NEEDS.
WILL A FRAMELESS SHOWER LEAK WATER? OUR PROFESSIONALS LOOK FOR AN INWARD SLOAP ON YOUR CURB WHEN MEASURING FOR YOUR SHOWER ENCLOSURE. WE ALSO LOOK FOR PROPER DOOR PLACEMENT TO PREVENT WATER LEAKING. ALL SHOWERS ARE SEALED WITH MILDEW RESISTANT SILICONE ON ANY OPENING EXCEPT WHERE THE DOOR MEETS ANOTHER PANEL OF GLASS. PLASTIC SEALS CAN BE ADDED AT THIS LOCATION, ALTHOUGH MOST CUSTOMER PREFER NOT TO ADD THIS FEATURE., IT WILL LIMIT THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SWING OF THE DOOR. a SWEAP IS PLACED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR TO HELP GATHER WATER BUT MY DRIP WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. TO PREVENT LEAKAGE WATER CANNOT BE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH OPEN SPACES AROUND THE DOOR. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND RINSING YOUR SHOWER OFF WITH BUCKETS OF WATER OR HANDHELD SHOWER HEADS.
I DON'T WANT CLEAR GLASS DO TO CLEANING ISSUES, WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE? IF YOU LIKE THE LOOK OF CLEAR GLASS AND WANT TO SHOW OFF YOUR NEW TILE, DIAMON-FUSION GLASS COATING WILL HELP REPEL WATER STAINS, SOAP SCUM AND HARD MINERAL DEPOSITS. WITH LITTLE EFFORT ON YOUR PART, JUST AN OCCASIONAL maintenance YOUR GLASS WILL BE AS BEAUTIFUL AS DAY ONE. WE HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT STYLES OF TEXTURED GLASS AVAILABLE AS WELL.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF ORDERING A FRAMELESS SHOWER DOOR AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET IN? FIRST WE NEED TO COME OUT AND GET MEASUREMENTS TO GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE. ONCE THAT IS COMPLETE AND YOU DECIDE TO PROCEED WE WILL ORDER THE GLASS. FROM THIS TIME INSTALLATION WILL BE 8-10 WORKING DAYS FROM THE TIME YOUR GLASS ORDER IS PLACED. THERE ARE VARIOUS TIMES OF THE YEAR WHERE HOLIDAYS MAY TAKE A FEW DAYS LONGER.
