Let’s say that Bob Villa or Tim ‘The Toolman’ Taylor are your hero’s and you are looking to install shower door enclosures in Basking Ridge. Where do you begin? A lot of home owners are enjoying the freedom, pride and sense of accomplishment when it comes to completing do-it-yourself jobs at home; and installing shower door enclosures is definitely not a job for the weak hearted. It’s going to take skill, craftsmanship and some good old fashioned elbow grease to get the job done right.
So, if you are dedicated to installing your own shower door enclosures in your bathroom, here are a few helpful hints on what you’ll need and what to do in order to do the job right the first time.
First, let’s begin with some simple safety rules:
* No matter what you are working on inside your home, ALWAYS wear safety glasses. If you can’t see, it’s very difficult to assemble a shower door enclosure; so think smartly and wear safety glasses during the entire process.
* Make sure you don’t allow the glass to come into contact with marble, concrete, tile or any hard surface. This will usually result in chipped glass and can ruin the effectiveness of your shower door enclosure.
* Always make sure you set your glass doors and material on a soft and protective surface. Although cardboard and bubble wrap might seem tempting, this will usually not work out too well, can cause a tripping hazard and even break your glass doors.
* Only install your glass doors at room temperature. Many people ask about this one, but it’s very simple when you think about it. If you are doing the installation in the winter time and the glass is cold when you install it, you’re going to have some problems when it warms up. When glass warms, it expands and this could completely break the entire glass door enclosure. Conversely, if you are installing the unit in summer time, and the glass has been outside all day warming up, it will shrink when it cools down. This is why you always want to ensure to install any glass door when it is at room temperature; between 60-80 degrees.
* When in doubt, ask a friend for help. This is not a project that you need to prove how much of a stud you might be. These glass shower door enclosures are heavy, bulky and can cause you to overexert your body, causing injuries which could even lead to fatalities. 
* Use the right tools for the right job. When you purchase a shower door enclosure for your bathroom, it is not going to be cheap. So why would you install this unit with simply a hammer or an adjustable wrench. Make sure you take a good inventory of your parts and read the infamous directions which will tell you exactly what tools you will need to install this unit correctly.
These simple safety tips are incredibly critical when any home owner attempts to install their own Shower Door Enclosures in Basking Ridge.
