They Did It Again!

By Ilyne Haynes
Bill Daubmann, owner and CEO of MY Shower Door, was able to expound on this phenomenon, “It goes on growth, so beating your own growth year after year, it’s not easy,” he laughed. “This year, we opened two new locations, one in Cape Coral, and the latest in Boca Raton, which now expands our presence to Florida’s East coast.”
Opening new locations is not the only reason why MY Shower Door has won this and many other accolades. During the COVID hiatus, they installed new machinery at their plant so that they are able to laminate glass in mass quantities to keep up with demand, both residential and commercial, for things like bullet-proof glass, impact glass, and switchable glass. Also, through their architectural division, they have been building glass office partitions, launching “MY Health Guard,” which are custom permanent protectors that are used to keep customers and staff COVID compliant at banks, municipal offices, and hotels.
Bill has also seen immense growth in sales with homeowners who, while remodeling their bathrooms, decided to remodel their home office. “Customers have been choosing to remove one of their sheet rock walls and replace it with a glass wall and glass doors, so that they don’t feel as closed in while they are spending hours at their desks every day.” The glass will let in natural light, while still keeping the space quiet. It can also expose the homeowner’s sight line to include a beautiful view out their living room windows.
Another item that homeowners have been purchasing from MY Shower Door is a wine closet. “The wine closets are not just for storage.” Bill said. “They’re so handsome, that they’re really a feature item in a home.”
Also in big demand is MY Shower Door’s current star product, MY Double Glide Ultra, a “barn door” type of sliding shower door that is made with ultra-clear glass and displays even less metal than all of their other frameless shower doors. Instead of using a metal rail, the rail is also made of thick Ultra Clear glass. With only the rollers made of metal, the look is clean, clear and a bit
high-tech.
The Ultra Clear glass is in high demand because most homeowners are selecting light colored tiles for showers, and the Ultra Clear glass will not add a green tint, allowing the actual colors of the tiles to shine through.
Bill is working on plans so that they can earn the Inc. magazine award for 2021, too. MY Shower Door has updated their website, which is now replete with information and gorgeous pictures of their various products and installations. They are planning to open new stores right up the East coast. “We want to be the big, regional company for this area. Every time we open another store, we’re able to bring our top-quality products to more happy homeowners, and as a bonus, it keeps our Florida workers busily employed manufacturing, designing, and installing our amazing glass products.”
