Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your shower door.

Glass Cleaning:

The 1/4 inch (6mm) clear tempered glass is treated with ACE DECOR's exclusive Nano Shield Glass Coating. This coating resists the buildup of mildew, soap scum, and hard water, making cleaning significantly easier (up to 90% less cleaning than untreated doors).

• For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth or squeegee after each shower to remove water spots.
• For deeper cleaning, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner specifically designed for shower doors. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or scouring powders, as these can damage the glass coating or frame finish.

Frame and Hardware Cleaning:

• Wipe the matte black aluminum frame and stainless steel hardware with a soft, damp cloth.
• For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or abrasive agents on the frame or hardware.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shower door, refer to the following common solutions:

• Water Leaks:
  • Check that all sealing strips are properly installed and intact.
  • Inspect the silicone sealant along the exterior of the frame. Reapply sealant if any gaps or cracks are found.
  • Ensure the door closes completely and the magnetic seal engages properly.
• Door Not Closing Properly:
  • Verify that the wall profiles are plumb and the door is level. Adjust if necessary.
  • Check for any obstructions in the pivot mechanism or along the bottom track.
• Squeaking or Sticking:
  • Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points if the door is squeaking.
  • Ensure the door is clean and free of debris that might cause sticking.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact ACE DECOR customer support.
