Custom shower glass doors offer numerous benefits over their fabric and plastic counterparts. They create depth to expand small bathing spaces while increasing shower comfort by eliminating drafts. Their beauty and durability also add value to your home when you want to sell. Here, review signs it’s time to replace this important door.

When Should You Replace Your Shower Glass Door?

1. Closing Difficulties

Years of use eventually wears on the door’s track and framing, which makes closing it completely a challenge. You may notice drafts when you shower or water pooling around the outside of the door that can cause you to slip and fall. If the door no longer fits in its frame, get a custom glass replacement.

2. Cracks & Chips

While minor cracks and small chips can be repaired by a glass technician, major damage can spread and compromise the door’s safety. Chipped, cracked glass is weakened glass that can loosen within the frame and cause serious injuries if parts fall out and shatter.

3. Severe Discoloration

Mold combined with soap scum can create a dingy film on your shower glass door that’s difficult to fully remove. Scale deposits from hard water can also leave residue that won’t rinse away easily create water marks on the metal door frame. If your door stays streaked no matter how often you clean it, get the glass replaced.

4. Rusted Framing

Constant water exposure eventually loosens the paint on metal shower door frames, leaving them vulnerable to corrosion. Rust weakens metal, looks unsightly, and can make opening and closing the door noisy. Frameless shower glass door replacements eliminate metal framing issues to provide seamless, attractive, tight-fitting results.
