5 Signs You Need a New Shower Door

Homeowners often think that a shower just needs to be installed and nothing else ever needs to be touched. All that needs to be done is simple cleaning and scrubbing to keep it clean. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Shower doors, like everything else, don’t last forever. After years of usage, your shower door may begin to show signs that you need a new shower door installed. 

Thankfully, there are more options today than there ever have been. You can now choose from classic shower doors to frameless ones that have a more modern look and feel. If you have had your shower door for years, it may be time to replace it. CFG Shower Doors & Closets wants to help you see the signs that it’s time for a new shower door.

Rusty Hardware

No matter what type of shower door you currently have, it most likely has some metal hardware. Even frameless shower doors have metal hinges and door handles. While these parts may be treated, over time even the best treatments will eventually wear off. 

If you have seen rust on your shower door hardware, it may be time to invest in a new shower door. Rusty hardware can cause serious injuries, so contact us today if you have seen rust on your shower door. 

Discolored Glass

Shower doors are easy to clean when they are new. A simple wipe-down will make them appear new and shiny all over again. As time goes on, however, mold, dirt, and even soap will begin to build layers of scum that affect the glass’s appearance. Discoloration of glass is a sign you need a new shower door. 

Puddles Forming

If you take a shower and notice a puddle of water outside of the shower, this can be a sign that your shower door is not sealed and allowing water to pass through. Frameless shower doors that do this can put you at a high risk of slipping. Puddles of water can even lead to devastating flood damage. 

Cracks or Chips

Shower doors can chip or crack over time if you don’t handle them with care or if they were installed improperly. Many cracks or chips will start off as something unnoticeable but will grow more and more over time. 

Cracks are a sign that your shower door has begun to lose some of its durability. Once this happens, your shower door is considered a hazard. 

Shower Door Doesn’t Close

If you are having trouble closing your shower door the entire way, it means the fittings holding it in place are wearing out. This can lead to a cracked shower door or potentially breaking the entire door. Get this replaces as soon as possible.
