You'd be surprised how many videos, and even instructions when you buy the new sweep, DON'T tell you which way it goes!
Thank you for clarifying this!
You bet!
Dude.....these dumb sweeps aren't totally intuitive from an install standpoint. Thank you for filling in the blanks!🙏 awesome 💪
Thanks for the video, it confirmed the old home owner installed the sweep backwards - hopefully my slow leak will now be resolved 👍🏻👍🏻
Fingers crossed!
I noticed it is easier and provides less wear and tear on the sweep if you fully open and close the doors when entering the shower.
Hi Daniel! Thank you for the comment. I assume you're referring to the "Fold" when opening and closing. Yes! I always encourage my clients to fully open and close the door to allow the sweep to "Catch up" and re-fold to reduce the tension.. Great comment!
Thanks for this video. It answered all my questions including the purpose of those shims.
Awesome video. Thanks for explaining so well.
Even though logic dictates this is evidently the right way around, it isn’t in the instructions so I still wanted to check, so thank you😊
Perhaps logic is key! Pursuant to the directive of directions of a sheet of specifications on installation dictations, we could surmise that logic dictates we could (alculmatively) adhere to direction when, in fact, we could recoup our own understanding of life itself!
Lol. Sorry, most of my commentors don't use big words. I figured I'd throw them all out on this one.
@@ExceptionalGlassLLC😂 Even a big word that doesn’t exist.👌🏻
Completely helpful! Thanks utterly much! 🙏🏽
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for watching!
Mine screwed up just now! Thanks!
How do I know the size that i would need? I have a shower very similar to the one your showing. Also what's the silver piece on the bottom on the other glass (left side).
Excellent. Thanks
Do you prefer having the bottom sweep going all the way from side to side, or the vertical ones going all the way down with the bottom sweep shorter? I hope this made sense.
I prefer the sweep go tight to the wall to end of door edge. But, there are some designs that won't permit that sequence.
If the door has lowered on one edge or fitted too low it will snap the fin, seal edge.
Yes, if the door is too low, the bottom fins give out over time more.
Thank you sir for your help.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching
Great Video and detail - Is there a good way to tell what enough friction at the end to know what's too much vs the right amount?
The right amount is when you hear the "Swooshing" noise. You'll know if it's too much because the door will fight you to reopen.
Do you need to use silicone??
Good video, reason I was looking at your video was I just got a new glass and brand new door sweeps installed but water still comes out, any info will help.
if water is going under the door during a normal shower, try lowering the sweep to make it touch the threshold.
Thanks for watching!
Do you need to add clear silicone on the inside of the door? Extra seal for the water not to penetrate in the door?
You can. Keeping in mind if you do, not to totally encapsulate the sweep. Water WILL eventually get in, if it has nowhere to go itll just mold inside.
Thanks for your question!
I have a problem where I have very little space between the bottom of the door and the floor as it is a walk-in-shower design.
It is very difficult to mount the new sweep. Any advice, thanks.
Maybe your door has sagged? Usually there supposed to be 3/8"-1/2" of space to allow the sweep to work properly. If the door has sagged, you should hire a professional to reset OR check out my video "sagging shower door" and perhaps do it yourself.
Where can I find the Shim Spacers? They never heard of them at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Amazon search shower door shims. Thank you for watching!!
How do you keep moisture out of the sweep which then grows mold?
The best practice is to remove the sweep and clean it with an alcohol swab and re-install. There's no realistic way to keep moisture out of it permanently as it is a "pocket" where humidity builds.
Thank you for watching and your question!
At about 3:20 you mention you will explain what making a soft corner is but didn't. Could you explain it? Watched how to do a slip on side seal with a jam and they run that seal right to the base but the piece on the bottom seal that diverts the water back into the shower (you talk about making sure it is on the inside of the door at about 3:55) will hit that side seal and that will hold the door open slightly, which gets trimmed and how so that corner doesn't leak?
Hi Bruce. Literally it's a notch. So that when the door is closed, the door is flush to the strike vinyl.
I'll try to make a video on it
@@ExceptionalGlassLLC that would be great. The previous owner of my house made a mess at that corner with silicone seal. When you say cut a notch in which seal? The bottom sweep or the side jam h seal? I'm thinking notch back the diverter from the edge of the door but leave the u channel and the 2 fins of the sweep right to the edge of the glass partition wall, which means I would need to leave the sweep a bit longer so it protrudes out slightly past the edge of the door by the amount of gap there is between the door and partition. I also figured out what was meant when you said soften the corner. Cut the corner round so there isn't a sharp point on the end of the diverter sticking out.
@@bwc1956 Hi Bruce! You're Famous! I made you a video. czcams.com/video/N_6o1bSXqRA/video.html
Hi there, where can we get the adjustment shims? Thx!
In the description
Thanks , but how do you install a shower sweep on a sliding side to side door . Thank you !
For a slider, you'd have to remove the sliding door first and/or rig it in such a way that it is out of the bottom guide to allow you to slip on the sweep. I'll make a note to make a video when this situation arises. Thank you for watching!!
Ben what about the side where the door meets the side wall of the home.
I'll note it to make a video. Thanks for watching!
Hi love your videos. Quick question. Had a new frames less sliding door installed but the installer didn’t install a sweep. There is about a half inch gap & water leaks out. Should a sweep have been included in the original installation? Do you have a video on how to install a sweep on a sliding door?
Really depends on the slider. Some do some don't. A Universal way to fill the gap is with a "Shower Door threshold OR dam" search on Amazon. Thank you for watching!
OH YES, that installer made a big mistake!
i installed the new sweep. new sweep stays on the door fine, but now my door won't close. i think the problem is that I barely have a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor, so the sweep is actually too big for my small gap
do you have any tips?
Maybe your door has sagged? Usually there supposed to be 3/8"-1/2" of space to allow the sweep to work properly. If the door has sagged, you should hire a professional to reset OR check out my video "sagging shower door" and perhaps do it yourself.
Can I remove the aluminum shower drip rail and just attach this vinyl one?
Why not?!? Try and let me know
Does the bottom sweep need *silicone* to hold in place? My shower door guy originally used silicone when he installed them.
No. The sweep holds by friction. Added silicone is fine but is not necessary
@@ExceptionalGlassLLC Thank you! I didn't use any adhesive.
The sound is exceptionally low. Next video please make your voice louder. (and get a tripod and better lighting!) Nevertheless, a good informative showing, (including the comments!). Thank you.
Practicing to perfect videos. I am improving. I appreciate your feedback and advise! Thank you for watching!
Is there an easy way to cut it to size using household scissors ?
Househouse scissors won't work. The other alternative is a hacksaw.
Fix the audio levels, please. I turned up the volume to hear the intro, then got my eardrums blown out by the logo music.
Sorry about that! I'm working on it.
Thanks for watching!
Are you supposed to "shave" the end to round the edge of the sweep?
Softening it up is recommended.
will this work on a sliding door
Yes! Same application
Ben, i've tried looking for the exact model of anvil shears on Amazon. No success bud. Could you point me in the right direction.
Sorry for the delay. amzn.to/44lsGbY
No cuts on camera?
Not sure what you mean?
Thanks for watching!
You should buy a phone Tri-pod so you can work with 2 hands.
Noted. Thanks!
He is such a pimp he can do it single handily
My shower door is framed.?
.... and you think your video is better, huh?
Sure. Why not?
Aren’t you supposed to angle the sweep so it doesn’t cut your foot
I trim the edge to round it off
