What type of silicon your guys using? Anti mould sealant? Black mould already building up on my silicon strips, such a ugly sight.

That's normal way of cleaning.

But the tough water spot stain is not so easily removed.

What others did to prevent water marks was to apply a layer of RainX especially for new shower screen, you need to use some elbow grease for application. Water will just slide off rather than stick onto surface, creating marks after evaporation.

The most tedious part is mould growing on silicon joint, very unsightly.

Still cracking my head to design a shower screen that totally eliminate the use of silicon. Perhaps build the screen after the curb, meaning shower screen will be place inside the shower area rather then sitting in the middle of the curb. Just use bracket to hold glass panel. Can only be done if shower area is big enough.

Is either rubber, silicon to hold the glass else it will break. The neutral silicon will (as claim) will not growth fungus.

Having glass door / sliding door require maintenance. Earlier I having another issue with my sliding glass door, the roller keep breaking (crack) think due to the weight of the glass door, and change twice (under warranty), now that is over the manufacture (solid glass)  ask me to change the railing to a better design, Of course with some fees. RM 350. Hope this fix the problem. If not I will ditch the mid range sliding door and go for a thick and heavy duty sliding door, of course double to triple the price sad.gif

Thanks for highlighting the problem with sliding door, mine is a swing door type. Was considering sliding for future use as it's less awkward especially when you have a small area.
If too much of a hassle with railing problems and fungus growth, may opt for El Cheapo shower curtain. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
