The Original Frameless Shower Doors requires from each purchaser a number of documents to be signed and approved prior to fabrication of purchases on all custom frameless glass enclosures. Purchaser provides The Original Frameless Shower Doors with ‘tight sizes’ of the enclosure opening, which requires a custom glass door and/or enclosure. The Original Frameless Shower Doors at its discretion, at any time, can change the type and/or placement of any hardware as they feel fit. A proposal form is sent to purchaser indicating the price, approximate size as well as the finish of hardware and any seals/silicone needed to supply purchaser with. A customer signature is required to move forward on the transaction which clearly states: “By signing, the customer is accepting the following proposal along with the terms and conditions”. Once purchaser signs the provided proposal and supplies sizes on our design layout form and signs all documents provided by Frameless, the fabrication begins immediately.

All glass for a frameless shower door or enclosure is custom made to order. No two pieces are alike. By signing the design form and/or proposal, you the client are obligated to fulfill your obligation. Any revisions to the order such as measurements or specifications must be requested in writing prior to fabrication or additional costs will apply to the customer. There are no refunds or cancellations on your custom made order.

Once the purchaser receives his/her custom made frameless door or enclosure, purchaser must inspect all glass for scratches, chips, and blemishes as well as sizes and any and all hardware for damage.

All of our glass meets or exceeds these standard limits set forth. Small hair like scratches are common as well as “dot like” spots embedded within the glass. You, the customer, acknowledge that these flaws may be visible, especially when there is a window or light inside the shower or room. You will be asked to sign a proof of delivery receipt. We highly suggest at this time you inspect the box for any visible damage and make note as well as take pictures with the driver still there.

Installations

The Original Frameless Shower Doors objective is to design and install your unit with a “tight as possible” installation. Due to circumstances out of our control, glass cannot conform to bellies, bows and uneven tile or poor workmanship performed by tile installers. We will not be responsible for any structural integrity of the wall or any other mounting surface. We will not assume any responsibility for cracked surface material due to installation or removal of existing enclosures. All units require hole drilling in tile, marble, bases and on occasion tubs to safely secure the unit. Glass tiles as well as porcelain and ceramic will on occasion crack while drilling. The Original Frameless Shower Doors will not be held responsible to repair or replace. Shower bases/tubs with an incorrect pitch can cause water damage. Incorrect pitched sills may drain water onto outside floor. 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. Although the doors and enclosures are manufactured to fit given sizes, there may be steam or water leakage, especially in a direct spray situation. The customer is to take into consideration the positioning and aim of the showerhead, body sprays and any detachable shower sprayers. Please keep in mind a frameless shower is made to deflect water, not retain it. All of our shower doors and enclosures are custom made in our factory to your openings and specifications; and yours only. Once you sign off on the design and sizes, no alterations can be made since the sizes are sent directly to our factory to be custom made, providing you our commitment for the quickest turnaround time in the industry.

Glass Guidelines: Doors swing in both directions. Mitered doors to mitered glass can only be opened one way. The handle will be installed vertically at standard height determined by (FSD) unless changed in writing by customer. Towel bars are optional and will be at customers request and must appear on signed proposal. Doors located in center area recommended to be installed with a header. Units without a header may appear flimsy. Notching or cutting of decorative tile or structures may be done by our installers, but (FSD) will not be held responsible for any damage, leaking or flaws due to the process. Frameless Shower Doors and Enclosures will not be responsible for any structural changes after final measurements have been taken. All manufacturing costs due to alterations will be charged to the customer. Temper logos may appear in any corner of the glass unless agreed and specified in writing by the customer with our representative during time of contract. Any additional costs will be charged to the customer. All defects in the glass such as scratches, chips, etc., must be acknowledged within 24 hours of installation. Glass is a man-made product. It is shipped across the U.S. then fabricated for each specific need. Shower enclosures require that the glass be tempered. Small hair like scratches are common, as well as “dot like” spots embedded within the glass. You, the customer acknowledge that these flaws may be visible, especially when there is a window inside the shower or room.

• The greenish hue tint to the glass may vary due to the size and thickness of the glass. The larger the piece of glass the greater the greenish hue may appear.
• Gaps around door perimeters may vary from a 1/16″ to a ¼”. Vinyl seals are available free of charge during the time of installation. After time the vinyl may discolor or deteriorate. The Original Frameless Shower Doors will not be responsible for replacing. Replacement will be at customers expense and only installed free of charge at time of installation. If seal is required at a later date, a service fee will apply.
• Enclosures will be centered on curbs or sills unless discussed otherwise with customer or due to structural circumstances. Any variance must be in writing.
• Warpage of glass may occur during tempering process. This will remain within the acceptable tempering association’s guidelines. Specifications are available upon request only.
• Frameless Shower Doors will attempt to cover existing holes that were hidden behind your old, existing framed enclosure. Due to conditions & configurations, as well as thickness differences from the larger framed metal enclosure to the thinner frameless glass, Frameless Shower Doors will not be responsible or expected to cover or fill these holes that were drilled to support the old unit.
• Frameless Shower Doors will assume no liability due to unforeseen conditions such as drilling into pipes that are hidden behind the wall where drilling is necessary. We suggest that the contractor or homeowner notify us in writing prior to drilling if there may be a pipe in the area where a hole is needed. Frameless will redesign and work around a pipe if notified in writing prior to design and installation.
• Any special costs for manufacturing and transporting glass where we do not have accessibility to, stairs or an elevator will be at owner’s expense. (Example: Lift)
• Removals: Any tile or surface damage that may result in the removal of an existing unit or upon an installation of a new unit is to be corrected by the customer at his/her expense.
