- Apply Sealing Strips and Silicone: Install the sealing strips along the edges of the glass panels and where glass meets the wall or bottom track to prevent water leakage. Apply a bead of mildew-resistant silicone sealant along the exterior base and vertical seams where the frame meets the wall. Allow the silicone to cure completely before using the shower.
6. Operation
Your Clovis shower door features a double sliding bypass design, allowing entry from either the left or right side. The doors operate smoothly and quietly on the roller disc system. The integrated damping buffer ensures a gentle and controlled closing action, minimizing impact and enhancing safety.

To open or close the door, gently push or pull the handle in the desired direction. The rollers will guide the glass panel along the track. Avoid forcing the doors or slamming them, as this can damage the mechanism or glass.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower door.
Figure 7.1: Tempered Glass Features
- Glass Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive glass cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water. Wipe down the glass after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the glass surface or protective coatings.
- Hardware Cleaning: Clean the brushed nickel hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Track Maintenance: Periodically clean the top and bottom tracks to remove any debris, soap scum, or hair that could impede smooth door operation. Use a small brush or vacuum to clear the tracks.
- Sealing Strips: Inspect sealing strips regularly for wear or damage. Replace them if they become brittle or torn to maintain water tightness.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not slide smoothly | Debris in track, damaged rollers, misaligned track | Clean tracks thoroughly. Inspect rollers for damage and replace if necessary. Check if the top track is level and securely fastened. |
| Water leaks from shower door | Damaged or improperly installed sealing strips, insufficient silicone sealant | Inspect sealing strips and replace if damaged or adjust their position. Reapply silicone sealant to exterior seams where needed, ensuring a continuous bead. |
| Door feels loose or wobbly | Loose mounting hardware, worn rollers | Check and tighten all mounting screws for wall brackets and track rails. Inspect rollers and replace if worn. |
| Handles are loose | Mounting screws need tightening | Tighten the screws securing the handles to the glass panels. Do not overtighten. |
