What is the difference between a Framed unit & a Frameless unit?
Framed units are, the more traditional style of shower doors which include aluminum framework around the glass. Frameless units provide a more contemporary open look as they use a minimal amount of framework around the glass. Both units offer the same amount of safety and stability, so the choice between the two is usually based on taste not necessity. Frameless units are available in 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch glass.

What is the best way to clean the glass on my shower unit?

What are some ways that I can prevent soap and water from staining my glass?
Ordinary glass is prone to damage and aging from hard water, soap, humidity and more. But Shower Guard glass is extraordinary. It’s an entirely different kind of glass that’s protected during manufacturing with a patented ion beam process. This technology permanently seals the glass surface, for a shower that stays beautiful forever with just a minimal amount of cleaning.

Also, our Clear Shield, Diamond Seal or Tekon glass protector coats the glass so that soap, hard-water, or calcium deposits do not permeate the surface of the glass. The protector covers the pores in the glass to keep the stains off.
