Glass
Glass is a man made product. Every piece of glass contains various types of flaws or blemishes, which could be visible to the naked eye. Even the best glass available in the market may contain minor defects. The federal government mandates that no defects should be visible in the glass when it is viewed vertically or horizontally from a distance of 11 feet away under normal lighting conditions. All of our glass meets or exceeds these standards set forth by the federal government. The remaking of any glass due to normal blemishes will be based solely at the discretion of www.GlassandMirrorDesigns.com and based on using industry standard tolerance levels. Warping of glass is common and may occur during the tempering process. This will remain within accepted tempering association’s guidelines. Specifications are only available upon request from purchaser.
The glass manufacturing industry and www.GlassandMirrorDesigns.com have an accepted cutting tolerance level so all glass sizes can vary plus (+) or minus (-) up to 1/8″. If your glass is within these tolerance levels www.GlassandMirrorDesigns.com will not be responsible for any remakes of new glass whatsoever. Gaps around door perimeters may vary from 1/16″ to 3/8″. Vinyl seals are available free of charge only at time of purchase or installation. After time the vinyl seals may discolor or deteriorate. These seals are considered a Wear and Tear Item and will not be replaced by www.GlassandMirrorDesigns.com unless paid for by purchaser. If the purchaser wants www.GlassandMirrorDesigns.com to deliver and install such seal (s), the purchaser will also be responsible to pay a minimum service fee of $125.00.
All glass has a greenish hue or tint due to the iron content in the glass. This greenish hue can vary due to the size and thickness of the glass. Low iron glass has a lesser greenish hue and can also vary due to the size and thickness of the glass. Shower enclosure glass is required to be tempered. All of our tempered glass is inspected and certified by the (SGCC) Safety Glazing Certification Counsel to insure the best quality tempered glass in the industry. Temper logos may appear in any corner of the glass. If the purchaser does not want tempering logos they must notify www.GlassandMirrorDesigns.com in writing prior to the fabrication of the glass.

Installations and Repairs

Opening door outward can cause water to drain down on bathroom floor. Correctly built stalls following quality construction will eliminate most of the above problems.

The purchaser is to take into consideration the positioning and aim of the showerhead(s), water pressure, body sprays and any detachable shower sprayers.
