Safety glass comes in different forms: tempered and laminated. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into tiny pieces rather than large shards, giving less of a chance of serious injury. Laminated glass is made up of two individual panes of glass bonded together by PVB resin. This resin prevents the glass from falling apart when broken and makes it very difficult to break through.
No. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into tiny pieces when broken, and will do so if cutting is attempted.
Tempered glass is manufactured with heat to strengthen it, so it does not break into jagged pieces. This glass is typically used in certain parts of your home, varying from county to county.
Use a Bic lighter and hold about 1” from the outside of the glass. If you see four different shades of a blue tint, looking from the inside, it is probably low-E glass. It will probably take two people. Or if it has a blue or gray tint, it is probably low-E. There are several Low-E glass manufacturers. Please bring in a sample or have a technician from our company come to your home for a service call to determine which type of Low E it may be.
If your glass breaks into tiny pieces instead of large, sharp pieces, it is tempered and is considered safety glass. Tempered glass also has a small logo the size of a nickel in one of the corners that says safety glass.
Double-pane windows are two pieces of glass sandwiched together and vacuum sealed at a factory, specially ordered on most occasions. Often “fogging” up, or losing their seal and filling with condensation. When such happens, the pane has to be replaced, and a technician or your contractor should always measure; there is little margin for error. There are such things to account for, like the overall thickness. A single pane is one piece of glass and is easily determined; if it breaks, there is only one piece.
A quarter is exactly one inch. A dollar bill is always 6.” A telephone book is 12.” When measuring a window, you should measure the daylight (what you can see). Single pane, unless tempered, will be cut onsite. Double pane has to be measured and ordered with a quick turnaround time. If you are measuring approximate shower dimensions for quote purposes, wall to wall. If there is an angle, the degree is helpful; there are two common: 90 degrees and 135 degrees. Please measure the return for a more accurate quote.
Tub sliders are fairly simple, and we can leave the header and track slightly longer for job site cuts. There are standard heights. Pivot doors, and doors with panels are more complicated, and we recommend you pay the extra money to have a professional measure it and install it, considering it also comes with a one-year warranty. Frameless shower doors are tricky; there is little to no tolerance for error. We always recommend that we measure and install it. If you insist, we will order your glass, but we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in your measurements.
Our showers are designed to prevent water leaks under normal water conditions when properly installed. Extreme water conditions, such as children having a water fight, are excessive. It can result in leaks. Shower head nozzles should not be sprayed directly at your enclosure during cleaning.
Towel bars are not grab bars!
Grab bars are available in many finishes. Your towel bar is not designed to support your weight. You should never hang from or stand on any of our enclosures.
Do not use abrasive or acid-based cleaners when cleaning your enclosure. Such can damage the metal or glass. We suggest a non-abrasive scotch brite pad and soft scrub. Daily use of a squeegee is always recommended! The polymer treatment is highly recommended.
Like your skin, glass has pores or is “pitted.” The hard water spots adhere to the glass and etch the glass. People ask, “How do I clean the hard water spots off my shower glass?” Often, it is stained. The glass sometimes cannot be cleaned. When buying a new shower door, we always recommend our polymer sealant. The sealant lasts for over three years. It seals the pores of the glass, preventing the glass from being stained from soap scum, hard water, and other debris. It is not “no maintenance.” It is “low maintenance.” We always recommend that you regularly squeegee your shower.
