The Importance of a Glass and Glazing License to Install Shower Doors

THE IMPORTANCE OF A GLASS AND GLAZING LICENSE TO INSTALL SHOWER DOORS

As a homeowner, it is important to be informed about licensing requirements when you welcome someone into your home to perform physical work. State and county licensing agencies exist to regulate specific industries and ensure individuals or companies who perform certain types of work in someone’s home meet the proper requirements to do so. This is not only a protection for consumers, but it also ensures these individuals and companies are following proper business practices and staying up to date with new code requirements.

Below is our State Certified Glass and Glazing Contractor License. We are proud to display it!

MY Shower Door Installation License

When it comes to shower doors, a plethora of individuals and companies advertise their services on social media and across the internet. One of the first things you should consider is whether they are licensed to perform shower door installation services. In Florida, there are different requirements for different counties for Glass and Glazing licenses. For example, Lee and Collier County require anyone who installs shower doors to hold a specialty glass and glazing license. However, Orange County does not have this requirement. There is currently legislation being discussed to implement a state-wide Glass and Glazing license requirement, rather than having separate county-specific regulations. For those in the business who understand the importance of being licensed in your trade, this is an overdue discussion. For the others, who are putting homeowners at risk day in and day out, they are surely looking for ways to continue to skirt the rules and keep all liability on the homeowner.

In order to obtain a Glass and Glazing license, there are quite a few requirements. You must pass both a financial and criminal background check in addition to passing both a business law and glass and glazing test, which are required to be renewed every two years.

If a business has a license, you will likely see their license number displayed on any advertisement of their services. Even if you see a license number displayed, it is always a good idea to verify that the license number is valid. This can be done by simply visiting www.MyFloridaLicense.com

If you do not see a license number or a “contractor” is having trouble providing you with their number, BEWARE.

Completing Tile Work Before Measuring for a Frameless Shower Enclosure

The Crucial Step: Frameless Shower Door Measurements

When it comes to creating a luxurious and functional bathroom, a frameless shower enclosure is often at the top of the wish list for many homeowners. It adds a touch of modern elegance to the space, making it a popular choice for bathroom renovations. However, there’s a crucial step that should never be overlooked when you are ready to measure for a frameless shower enclosure: completing all tile work. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why it is essential to finish all tile work before measuring for a frameless shower enclosure.

Frameless Shower Door Measurements

1. Precise Measurements are Key

One of the primary reasons to complete tile work before measuring for a frameless shower enclosure is to ensure precise measurements. Frameless enclosures rely heavily on accurate measurements to fit seamlessly into your bathroom. If the tile work is not finished, it can lead to incorrect measurements, resulting in gaps, misalignment, or other aesthetic and functional issues. At MY Shower Door, we do not take final measurements until all tile work is complete.

2. Seamless Integration

A frameless shower enclosure is designed to create a seamless and visually appealing transition between the shower and the rest of the bathroom. When the tile work is complete before measuring, the enclosure can be customized to fit the exact dimensions of the tiled area. This ensures a perfect fit and an elegant, cohesive look that enhances the overall aesthetics of the bathroom.

3. Preventing Water Leakage

Custom Frameless Shower Door

Properly installed tile work serves as a crucial barrier against water leakage. If the tiles are not installed before measuring for the enclosure, it will be nearly impossible to create a watertight seal between the enclosure and the tiles. Water leakage can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Therefore, completing tile work first helps prevent this potential issue.

4. Avoiding Costly Revisions

Measuring for a frameless shower enclosure without completed tile work can lead to costly revisions and delays in the installation process. When measurements are taken based on unfinished surfaces, there’s a high risk that the enclosure will not fit properly. This can result in the need to reorder custom-made glass panels or other components, causing unnecessary expenses and project setbacks.

5. Enhancing Durability

Frameless shower enclosures are an investment in your bathroom’s longevity and aesthetic appeal. Moreover, to ensure their durability, it’s crucial to have a solid foundation in the form of finished tile work. Properly installed tiles provide the necessary support for the enclosure, preventing issues like sagging or glass misalignment over time.

Conclusion

In the world of bathroom renovations, attention to detail is paramount. When it comes to installing a frameless shower enclosure, completing all tile work before measuring is a vital step that should never be skipped. Precise measurements, seamless integration, water leakage prevention, cost savings, and enhanced durability are just some of the benefits that come from ensuring the tile work is finished before the enclosure installation begins. By prioritizing this essential step, homeowners can enjoy a stunning, functional, and long-lasting frameless shower enclosure that truly elevates their bathroom’s design.

MY Shower Door, a family-owned Florida design and manufacturing business, earned a spot on the prestigious 2023 Inc. 5000 list, a national honor roll highlighting the country’s fastest-growing private companies.

It was the seventh time in nine years that MY Shower Door has made the Inc. 5000 list, which includes the nation’s top U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit companies. Inc., a national business magazine and media brand uses a three-year period to calculate revenue growth.

“It’s extremely difficult just to earn a spot on the Inc. 5000 list, but even harder to stay on it because you need to sustain elevated growth over a longer period,” said MY Shower Door President and Founder Bill Daubmann. “In today’s competitive marketplace, customers have a lot of choices. We are proud that Florida homeowners and builders continue putting their trust in MY Shower Door year after year.”

MY Shower Door designs, manufactures and installs custom, frameless shower doors and enclosures. The company, which has nine showrooms across Florida and employs 178 individuals, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023.

D3 Glass was listed at No. 3,428 with a 146% three-year growth rate. Locally, D3 Glass was the 15th fastest-growing business in Southwest Florida, while MY Shower Door was the region’s 20th fastest-growing company.

“Family-owned businesses face competition from other local businesses, as well as national companies and online marketplaces,” Daubmann said. “That makes it all that more impressive that MY Shower Door and D3 Glass both made the Inc. 5000 list. It’s proof that if you produce an outstanding product and continue delivering exceptional customer service, you can compete against the ‘big guys.’”

Inc. 5000 announced its 2023 honorees on Aug. 15 and will formally recognize MY Shower Door and D3 Glass during the Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, which begins Oct. 31 in San Antonio, Texas.

Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Frameless Shower Doors

Sparkling Results Every Time

Frameless shower doors have become a popular choice in modern bathrooms, adding elegance and a sleek look. However, their minimalist design can also make cleaning them seem like a daunting task. Fear not! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to effectively clean your frameless shower door, ensuring a spotless finish that enhances the beauty of your bathroom. Let’s dive in!

Frameless Shower Door Cleaning

#1 – Gather Your Cleaning Supplies

Before starting the cleaning process, it’s important to assemble the necessary supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • White vinegar
  • Dish soap or a mild bathroom cleaner (non-abrasive)
  • Spray bottle
  • Microfiber cloth or sponge
  • Squeegee
  • Soft-bristled brush
  • Water

#2 – Create a Cleaning Solution

Prepare a homemade cleaning solution by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Vinegar is an excellent natural cleaner that effectively removes soap scum and hard water deposits without damaging the glass.

#3 – Remove Excess Dirt and Debris

Start by rinsing the shower door with warm water to remove any loose dirt and debris. This step will prevent scratching the glass during the cleaning process.

#4 – Spray & Soak

Spray the homemade cleaning solution generously onto the entire surface of the shower door, focusing on areas with visible soap scum or mineral buildup. Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes, enabling it to break down the stubborn grime.

#5 – Scrub Gently

Take a soft-bristled brush or sponge and gently scrub the shower door, paying extra attention to problem areas. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they may scratch or damage the glass. If necessary, dip the brush or sponge into the cleaning solution to remove tough stains.

#6 – Rinse Thoroughly

Once you’ve scrubbed the door, thoroughly rinse off the cleaning solution with warm water. Ensure no residue is left behind, as it can lead to streaks or cloudiness.

Squeegee

#7 – Dry with a Squeegee

Immediately after rinsing, use a squeegee to remove excess water from the glass surface. Start from the top and work your way down in vertical or horizontal strokes. This ultra-hygienic step prevents water spots, helps maintain a pristine appearance.

#8 – Polish with a Microfiber Cloth

After squeegeeing, take a clean microfiber cloth and gently buff the shower door to remove any remaining water droplets and ensure a streak-free finish. Microfiber cloths are perfect for this task, as they are highly absorbent and won’t leave lint or scratches.

#9 – Pay Attention to Hardware and Exposed Silicone

Avoid getting any cleaning solution on the door’s hardware, such as handles, hinges, and channel. You can simply wipe these areas down with water for cleaning.

#10 – Regular Maintenance

To keep your frameless shower door looking its best, it’s essential to establish a regular cleaning routine. Wipe down the door after each shower using a squeegee or a microfiber cloth. This quick maintenance step will prevent soap scum and mineral buildup from accumulating over time.

Cleaning a frameless shower door doesn’t have to be a chore. By following these simple steps and using the right tools and cleaning solutions, you can maintain a spotless and beautiful shower door that enhances the overall aesthetics of your bathroom. Remember, regular maintenance is key to preserving the pristine appearance of your frameless shower door. So, get ready to enjoy a sparkling shower experience every time!

Employee Spotlight:  Corey Wagner


Corey Wagner

Installation Supervisor

Explain what you do for the company.

My main responsibility is to manage the overall efficiency and operations of the installation department and to collaborate with the sales teams on proper design and job site logistics.

What do you love about your job?

I love the challenges that the industry brings on the day-to-day. I love watching our teams meet those challenges and watching them grow, learn, and acquire skill sets in the field.

What do you like to do for fun when you are not at work?

I spend a lot of time with my family. We listen to music, we fish, we watch sports, go to the beach, and just typically do what we can to enjoy life.

What is one thing you’ve learned/how have you grown as a result of working here?

I think the biggest thing that I’ve learned is greater efficiency in managing people. Positions that I’ve held before this have not had the large number of people that we have. So, just watching them grow and learning that navigating through personalities is a large part of what a manager does and just learning to help them and setting them up for success.

How did you come to work for MY Shower Door?

Well, I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and we were overseas for a while and then out in California, so we relocated to be close to our kids. I worked for a small competing shower door company here locally when an opportunity arose to work for MY Shower Door and I took it.
