The Importance of Quality Shower Door Hardware
When it comes to bathroom shower door hardware, the phrase “you get what you pay for” is definitely true. Many homeowners don’t realize the importance of quality shower door hardware, which is why we’re writing this article. While cheaper, knock-off products may look great initially, they tend to wear out quickly and can even cause expensive damage. Here’s an example of what can happen when your contractor installs low-quality shower door hardware.
A recent customer called us for help after his shower door hinges failed. The hinges were loose and popping, causing him to worry that the glass door would fall and break. In addition, the finish on his bathroom hardware had worn off. We were happy to help and replaced all of the hardware with high-quality CR Laurence hardware, replaced the door seals, and properly cleaned the door.
Our field technician found that the builder had installed a frameless glass shower door on cultured marble but failed to secure it properly. The low-quality hardware, including the failed hinges, couldn’t withstand the moisture created by the shower.
The lesson to be learned is that you must make sure your contractor is installing quality hardware in your new shower and not settling for cheap Chinese alternatives.
