A few simple cares to keep your shower stall looking as good as it did on day one

Water tightness

Water tightness is one of the basic features that a shower enclosure must provide.

The issue of water tightness should be addressed by considering the meeting points between various surfaces and building elements. Sealing between the wall, shower tray, and shower wall will be ensured by the skilled installation performed by your installer according to the installation instructions, while between the glass and profiles of your shower wall the sealing is ensured already at the production stage, with continuous seals and sealing profiles.

On the other hand, the tightness on the threshold depends on different construction situations: cabins with horizontal profiles offer the most protection against water leakage: in fact, the lower profile acts like a dam.

In cabins without horizontal profiles, on the other hand, the combination of anti-drip profile and anti-flooding threshold is the best protection from water splashing outward. In fact, without an anti-flooding threshold, water would easily find a way out, so we recommend that you always install this profile.

Cleaning and care

Regular cleaning after showering is the best protection against limescale and dirt buildup.

You simply spray the panels and profiles with hot water, and then with cold water, removing the remaining drops with a wiper, or you can use in the same way, a 20 percent solution of water and vinegar. This applies to all shower enclosure surfaces (glass panels with and without surface sealing treatment, plastic panels, profiles, etc.).

The interval for thorough shower enclosure cleaning can vary from one week to one month, depending on the aggressiveness and scale content of the water and, of course, the frequency of use of the shower enclosure.

Never use abrasive, alkaline, acidic, chlorine-containing, oxidizing agent or solvent cleaners. Always perform cleaning using soft, clean cloths that are free of encrustations that could cause scratches. Also remember to sufficiently ventilate the shower area after use to counteract mold growth.
