Bath Enclosures

Choosing the right shower door!

Sure you could go to a discount lumber yard and buy a shower door. Take it home only to find out after installing it that it does not look right. It looks crooked!

Why does my door swing open by itself?

Why does my sliding door open just when I am shampooing in my hair?

The answer is an out of level condition. There are many causes that make that happen. It may start with the basic foundation of your home. It could be settling of your home or just poor workmanship of the carpenters or plumbers that set the tub. Some times it is in the molding of the fiberglass tub.

The causes are complex and you really do not need to be alarmed. It can be easily fixed. Many of the doors we work on need help getting them into a level condition. Alumax has all the necessary pieces we need to shim your door back level making sure your door operates the way you expect.

When our trained salesperson measures your shower enclosure they are on the look out for things that are out level. Our installers verify the condition before they begin their installation.

When we look at the enclosure your are requesting, we will suggest the best door that will contain the water where it is supposed to be. That elegant frameless shower door you wanted so bad may not be the right door because of the placement of the shower head or the slope of the sill, water flowing at the joints in the heavy glass unit is an extremely bad condition.

Containing the water is our primary goal. Our recommendations are based on our 22 years of service.
