Glass Shower Door Help

3 years ago

2 questions.

1- Does the silicone look like it was applied nicely in the photos below? We paid $5600 for these doors (low iron and hydro clear coating). I believe we were overcharged, but what matters now is that it was at least a quality installation.

2- We purchased hydro clear coating. Of the 3 panels the hydro clear sticker was on the outside for 2 panels, and 1 panel the hydro clear was on inside of the glass. The sticker specifically says that it goes on the outside of the glass. I inquired with the glass company, and they said that they had just moved that one sticker when installing to clean the glass. But why would they move it on one side but not the other 2 to clean? Then we noticed that the etching on the bottom corner of the glass for the 2 panels with the sticker on the outside read one way, while the etching on the other (with the sticker on the wrong side/inside) read opposite. For glass doors is the etching typically always on the same side? With both of those things, we are very hesitant to believe that this panel was installed correctly. It’s obviously a major issue if the hydro clear coating is on the outside of the glass, and not inside.

It’s been problem after problem with our contractor, and the glass experience hasn’t been great from the start. What would you do? I feel like a second opinion on the installation might be worth seeking, but can a company tell which side the coating is on? It’s the worst feeling not trusting someone you give so much money too :/
