A glass shower enclosure looks its best when water doesn't get the chance to dry on it. A squeegee pass after every shower, run down the glass while it's still wet, is the single biggest thing that keeps hard-water spotting from building up over time.
For a deeper clean, a plain vinegar-and-water solution or a dedicated glass-shower cleaner works better than an abrasive scouring pad. Abrasive pads can scratch glass and dull metal hardware finishes. Wipe hinges, handles, and channel tracks dry after cleaning; standing water is what causes hardware to corrode first.
Frameless and framed enclosures wear differently. Frameless doors use thicker glass and minimal metal hardware, so most of the maintenance is on the glass itself. Framed enclosures have a metal frame around each panel that collects more moisture in the corners. Check those corners for buildup a little more often.
If a door starts sticking, dragging, or not sitting flush, that's usually a hinge adjustment, not a sign the whole enclosure needs replacing. It's worth having someone look at it before it gets worse.
Every Mesko Glass shower enclosure carries a manufacturer's limited warranty (typically one to five years depending on the product line) plus a one-year Mesko warranty on our own installation workmanship. If an enclosure settles and needs an adjustment, we come back.
