Kenny Berry did a great job for us. He was very personable, the installation was done in a timely fashion professionally. We love how they look. Highly recommend.

Squeegee the door after you shower. Use white eraser sponge to get film off. Just regular cleaning keeps them looking great. I have had glass doors for decades.

HA HA - I don't mean a scrub-down!! I just mean a quick wipe with a washcloth and a bit of bleach. If you spend more that 2 minutes on it, you're working too hard.!

We had Perry Glass in Spanish Springs replace our slider with a frameless door. EXCELLENT quality and workmanship. You can also get carved glass doors but the do cost $ more. IMO; The look was worth the extra $ and it helped sell my CYV several years later because of the unique design of the doors.

New shower doors.
 
Ken Berry shower doors. A little Pricy but worth every penny. Pay a little extra for the glass sealant and the water runs right off. Did our master bath with a door model and our hall bath with a sliding model. Love them both. Around $1,000 ea.

After every shower, stay in the shower, grab a towel and towel yourself off. Then when dry, wipe down the walls and door, drop the towel and wipe the floor. We had iron and hardness but our bathrooms look new for 35 years. If you love your place, put in a slight bit of effort to keep it nice.
Also, tempered, frameless shower doors can explode for no reason at all or hitting it on the edge. From a former plumbing wholesaler’s personal experience.

Call and go visit Perry’s Glass near Spanish Plaines shopping center. They’re the BEST! You won’t be sorry. I’ve used them for several glass projects, including two shower doors.

I put a rainx coating on my glass shower door, plus I wipe it down with towels every other shower. It is crystal clear, but we have a whole house filter plus water softener.

Ours is a door that opens on a hinge. I'm leary of the sliding doors. I've had them before and had trouble keeping the slot where the doors overlap clean. Maybe nowadays both doors slide.

The new,frameless glass are beautiful and stylish, but OMG a bear to keep clean...even with wiping down everyday, using rain-x protection on them, the vinegar and baking soda trick. It really floors me that this day and age something better hasn't been invented.
You have beautiful glass
Shower curtain
Cheap plastic fake glass.

Just ordered frameless doors from FSI in Ocala. They have a sealant they bake on. They cut their own glass delivery in 7-10 days.

I would agree about build up on the aluminum and glass. Buy the best quality materials or you will be dissappointed at the constant cleaning and polishing you will be required to do.
