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.

4 Closet Dangers to Look Out For

Our closets may seem like an area clear of danger. There’s nothing in your closet that can cause danger or damage, so what should you be looking for? Well, there’s no need to panic. These closet dangers don’t pose an immediate threat to your home or family. It’s still important to be aware of these 4 closet dangers so nothing happens in the future.

Moths

If you think you have a moth problem in your home, make sure to check the clothes in your closet. Some of your clothes may have holes with webs left behind. These holes are typically left by moths as they look for an area to burrow. Throw out clothes that have bad damage and clean the ones you decide to keep. You want to wash these clothes on HOT to make sure all remnants of the moths are cleaned out. 

Once your clothes are dealt with, clean out the rest of your closet. Vacuum the entire area and remove the contents of your vacuum immediately. 

Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew form in areas with high levels of moisture in the air. Closets are mostly sealed and clothes do an excellent job of absorbing moisture. If you’re not careful or your closet is located near the shower, your closet could become the perfect birthing ground for toxic growth. 

A poorly ventilated closet will see much more moisture buildup than one that is. If you see mold or mildew growing in your closet, you may want to consider a ventilated door or leaving the door open for an hour or so a day. 

Make sure your closet isn’t over-packed. An overcrowded closet automatically becomes a poorly ventilated one. Removing some clothes or clutter can immediately increase the airflow in your closet. 

Chemicals

If you have clothes that require dry cleaning, DO NOT keep them in your closet at first. The different chemicals used at dry cleaners can fill your closet making it a harmful area for pets and even your family. 

When you bring clothes back from the dry cleaner, make sure to leave them out in a well-ventilated area for an hour or two. This will help the different chemicals escape from your clothes. Once the clothes have been ventilated for some time, they are safe to return to the closet. 

Fire Hazards

While it doesn’t seem like it, the lighting in your closet poses a fire hazard. We often stack things high in our closets. Sometimes high enough to make contact with a light bulb in your closet. When the heat of a lightbulb meets something like wool or cardboard, it can pose the threat of fire. 

In general, it’s a good idea to switch to linear LED lighting and light bulbs. Not only do these look better aesthetically, but they also are much safer and will improve your energy bill.
