MY Shower Door makes Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies for the 8th time!

MY Shower Door also returned to the list. Helmed by Bill Daubmann, the company measures, sells and installs frameless shower doors throughout Florida and distributes products across the U.S. and Canada. MY Shower Door vice president Keith Daubmann was recently named one of USGlass magazine’s most influential people in the glass industry.

MY Shower Door recorded a three-year growth percentage of 110%. This is the eighth year it has been featured on the Inc. 5000 list, and according to Inc., it is also one of the top companies in the Southeast.

Bill also leads D3 Glass, a manufacturer and fabricator of flat glass products for frameless shower doors and other products. The Fort Meyers, Florida-based company was named to Inc.’s list and recorded a three-year growth percentage of 156%.

“Inc. 5000 spotlights some of the nation’s biggest and best-known brands, so it’s difficult for family-owned businesses to compete for a spot. To have two companies make the list in back-to-back years is an incredible feat because you need to sustain high levels of growth year after year.”

~ Bill Daubmann, President and Founder of the Fort Myers-based company.

MY Shower Door Wins 2024 Innovative Technology Award

Since 2003, our dedicated team has been relentless in the pursuit of innovation. We’re proud to be recognized by the Lee County Economic Development Office for how our thoughtful solutions bring true comfort and relief for our customers.

“It started with the simple question. What are our customer’s biggest struggles- and how can we solve them? .”

~ Bill Daubmann, President and Founder of the Fort Myers-based company.

Over the years, many homeowners have asked us to repair their wall-mounted doors installed by other companies. Why? Wall-mount hinges, over time, can cause doors to pull away the wall or worse – fall and break.

Our Research and Development Department also saw that wall-mounted hinges leave a huge gap between the door and the wall, which can cause water to leak onto your floor.

To relieve these issues, we designed our proprietary MY Pivot Hinge. Not only does it properly redefine how the glass weight is distributed on a frameless glass shower door, the MY Pivot Hinge restores the true meaning behind built to last.

My Pivot Innovation Award winner

How Does It Work?

Conventional wall-mount hinges are fixed between the side of the door and the wall. In contrast, the MY Pivot Hinge system consists of two hinges, one at the top and one at the bottom of the swinging door. Instead of the door pulling away from the wall, the MY Pivot Hinge properly anchors the door to the bottom hinge.

In addition, we incorporate a small piece of glass between the wall and the hinge, which eliminates the risk of the door slipping over time. Our customers also love that:

  • There’s a smaller gap between the door and the wall, reducing the risk of water leaking.
    The MY Pivot Hinge allows you to freely swing the door in and out of the shower. It optimizes each personalized enclosure to fit any tight space and avoid fixed obstacles.
  • At MY Shower Door, every detail counts. Wall-mounted hinges need 4 screws, which can leave too many holes in your wall. The MY Pivot Hinge only requires 2 screws when installed. Plus, because these screws aren’t visible when the door is closed, you can enjoy a cleaner, minimal look.
  • Most importantly, the MY Pivot Hinge extends the lifespan of our shower doors, ensuring that our customers are cared for in the years to come.

Continuing to Evolve

In addition to evolving our product, we incorporated new technology into our sales team members’ CRM system. By utilizing iPads, digitizing paperwork, and providing advanced software, our sales team has streamlined the design process, created a seamless order entry and programming for glass manufacturing, as well as increased product processing and tracking capabilities.

It’s an achievement that reminds us to keep going.
Thank you to each of our incredible team members for helping MY Shower Door reach this milestone. From your caring customer service to your passion to evolve, we’re so proud to have you with us.

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.”

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!
