• Beneficis: Water repellent coating resists hard water stains and deposits, provides protection against harsh build-up, and requires considerably less cleaning.
• Precaucions: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring powders, or pads on your glass. Do not use highly acidic or alkaline cleaning products. Keep brushes, razors, or any other sharp objects away from the glass to avoid scratches.
• Manteniment: Keep your ClearMax coated glass looking new by using a soft, non-abrasive cloth or squeegee to wipe away excess water after each use. Ensure the shower area is well-ventilated.

6.2 Neteja general

• For hardware, use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or abrasive particles.
• Regularly check all screws and connections for tightness. Do not overtighten.
• Inspect seals periodically for wear and tear and replace if necessary to prevent leaks.

7. Solució De Problemes

Aquesta secció tracta problemes comuns que podeu trobar amb la porta de la dutxa.

7.1 Fuites

• Problema: Water leaking from around the door or panels.
  Solució: Check all seals and gaskets for proper placement and condition. Ensure the U-channels are properly sealed with silicone caulk as per installation instructions. Verify that the shower base or curb is level.

7.2 La porta no tanca correctament

• Problema: The hinged door does not close completely or swings open/closed on its own.
  Solució: This often indicates that the walls are not perfectly plumb or the hinges are not correctly aligned. Re-check wall plumbness and hinge alignment. The U-channels allow for minor adjustments to correct out-of-plumb conditions.
