An aftercare routine is just a way to make sure that your doors stay usable and beautiful for a long, long time.

Following Glass Shower Door Installation

As soon as your shower doors have been installed take a moment to inspect a few items.  This will ensure that your new investment starts off on the right foot.  Make sure that your shower isn’t leaking.  Now that being said, do not spray water directly on a door seam.  Although it has vinyl stripping it does not mean that given a direct spray that it will not leak.

Make sure that you check the vinyl along the seams and the silicone caulking along immovable seams where the curb and the glass panels meet.  Lastly, take a moment to make sure that the hinges and screws are fastened well.  These few items directly after installation will help to ensure your new doors have a good start.
