SERIES Hospitality Case Study #001
The Problem:
A client came to us and told us that their current bypass
sliding shower door was too loud. They wanted to maintain the look of the shower
door, but fix the internal issues involved with the sound.
The Solution:
To fix this issue, we had to dive into the build of the glass
shower door to see where the issue was coming from. The noise was coming from
excess contact between the rollers and the track of the glass door. We
redesigned the track for the door to resemble a ‘V’ shape. We also changed the
roller to a flat face against the track. By changing the point of contact from full
contact, to just two points at the top of the ‘V’ shape, we were able to
eliminate the noise. We were also able to improve upon the product further by
upgrading the quality of the roller with a better bearing because a smoother
glide is a quieter glide. As a major shower door manufacturer, Seawin takes pride in developing innovative solutions to our client's issues.
