Understanding the JetGlaze Glass Pattern
Traditional grid-style shower doors often rely on a grid of heavy metal mullions bonded or clamped across the glass panes, creating countless tiny corners where soap scum and hard water minerals love to collect. The JetGlaze design solves this by screen-printing the mullion lines directly onto a single smooth sheet of tempered glass. Think of it like a smartphone screen protector with a printed border: you get the bold aesthetic framing of a multi-pane window without any physical joints or metal seams to scrub. This clever manufacturing approach maintains structural clarity while cutting down your routine cleaning time significantly.
Installation Guide
Ensure your corner framing is plumb and square before beginning direct-to-stud installation of the shower base and enclosure.
Verify that your subfloor supports the 42-inch by 42-inch square footprint and accommodates a standard 2-inch compression fitted drain.
Utilize the adjustable anodized aluminum wall profiles to compensate for up to 1/2-inch of uneven wall alignment on each side.
Apply a high-grade silicone sealant along all exterior base and wall junctions once assembly is fully secured.
Professional installation is recommended due to the weight of the glass panels and the precision required for corner alignment.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing: Spray down the glass panels and base with clean warm water after every shower to prevent soap residue buildup.
Glass Cleaning: Use a squeegee or a soft microfiber cloth with a non-abrasive glass cleaner to maintain clear surfaces.
Frame Care: Wipe down the satin black hardware and anodized aluminum profiles with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh scouring pads.
Base Upkeep: Clean the acrylic SlimLine shower base using a mild liquid cleaner and a non-abrasive sponge to protect its finish.
Sealant Inspection: Periodically check the silicone seals around the perimeter of the base and wall profiles for wear or gaps.
