It’s true that we live in the age of Google, where you can find DIY solutions for nearly everything, but sometimes cutting corners isn’t wise. Some things are best left to the professionals.
That’s certainly true when it comes to frameless shower door installation. While it’s possible to install one yourself, nobody wants to deal with the headache of unwanted and unforeseen problems that arise from shoddy installation.
So be smart and trust professionals who have years of experience and expertise when it comes to installing shower doors.
Why Trying to Install Frameless Shower Doors by Yourself is a Bad Idea
Here are four reasons why homeowners in Toronto should avoid the DIY option and seek a professional to install their frameless shower doors:
- Frameless Shower Door Installation is Challenging: Homeowners looking to save money and install a frameless shower door by themselves might not realize what they are getting themselves into. Sure you can buy the door and hinges at a store, but installation takes a level of skill and expertise than the average person doesn’t have and can’t learn overnight. Alignments, drillings, and measurements need to be perfect and high-quality materials are a must to avoid any problems. These are things a professional can guarantee.
- Professional Installers Can Customize the Door to Meet Your Shower’s Needs: Not all showers have the same dimensions and characteristics and a professional can adapt and install your door no matter the situation. Experienced professionals will make sure your door fits snugly.
- Shower Leaks are a Huge Problem in DIY Installations: Unless your glass is cut perfectly, something a professional will guarantee upon installation, shower leakage can be a massive issue. Shabby DIY frameless shower door installations risk leaving gaps in the door where water can escape and splash onto the floor. Over time, this can damage your bathroom floor. Not to mention, it can be a big annoyance to always have standing water on your bathroom floor after taking a shower.
- Improper Installation Can Lead To Shattering: Even scarier than leakage, is the fact that a faulty installation can lead to your frameless shower door shattering. Although this only happens rarely, the chances are significantly higher for those who self-install. Mishandling during transport or installation can cause damage and small breaks in the glass which only get worse as time goes on and pressure applies to the rest of the door. Ultimately, your door may eventually shatter.
Avoid the risk and pay to have an experienced professional install your frameless shower door with guaranteed results.
The cost of installation could easily be surpassed by problems posed by a faulty installation, not to mention the peace of mind you will get knowing that your door has been installed to the highest standards.
