Professional Shower Door Installation Demo

Описание: Glass.com's Daniel Snow teams up with Dustin Anderson from Anderson Glass in Waco, TX to see how professionals install a shower door. From mounting the glass to the hardware, making adjustments, installing the finishing touches and prepping the glass for the customer, we walk through all the steps so you know what to expect when it comes time to have your shower glass replaced.

Transcription:

Daniel: So Dustin, we're onsite at one of your shower door installs. It looks like we already have the fixed panel up in place right here. It looks like it's been caulked in along the edge and the bottom to keep water inside the shower. It's a very clear glass. There's no texture or anything like that on it. So we see the nice tile finish and the nice stone floor.

It looks like the hardware for the door is already up as well. And this hardware matches what is already in the shower and what's on the sink to our side, and the door behind us. Is this oil rubbed bronze?

Dustin: Yup, this is an oiled bronze finish. We'll grab the door here in just a second, slide it in the spot, crank it down, and get our alignment the way we want it. We'll add a door handle so they can get in and out, and then we'll walk away.

Daniel: Alright, let's get to it!

Alright so you got this job finished up, it looks like. You've got the door mounted, you have the handle on. Is this pretty much all wrapped up for you?

Dustin: For the most part. We're going to clean it up really good, double-check to make sure the silicone work is on point. No pinholes or anything like that. We'll add a polycarbonate sweep to the bottom of the door to help with waterproofing and then outside of that, we're done.

Daniel: For the homeowner, now that this is finished and this is theirs, what can they do to keep the glass cleaner over time?

Dustin: So that's a great question. You can typically do a couple of things. One, if you're someone who doesn't mind using a squeegee, you can jump in here every time you're done and squeegee it off. Super clean. The glass will truly last you forever.

The other option is there's a hydrophobic coating that's now taking place in our industry and there's a couple of versions of it. There's some that actually go on with the tempering process. And then there's some other pieces that your glazing contractors can actually put on.

Daniel: Awesome. Alright, well let's get this cleaned up for the homeowner.

Dustin: Awesome, sounds good.
