Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
We offer a wide range of custom glass solutions, including frameless shower doors, custom mirrors, glass railings, wine room enclosures, and interior glass partitions designed to meet various residential and commercial design preferences.
Selecting the right enclosure depends on your space layout, aesthetic goals, and functional needs. Options range from space-saving sliding shower doors to elegant frameless glass installations that can elevate your bathroom design.
Yes, custom glass can be fabricated to fit precise dimensions, angles, and configurations, making it suitable for unique architectural designs, builder projects, and custom home remodels.
The process typically involves discussing your design ideas, obtaining precise measurements of your space, selecting your preferred glass thickness and edge profile, and scheduling professional installation.
We collaborate with a diverse clientele, including homeowners looking to update their properties, as well as professionals like builders, architects, designers, and remodelers managing larger projects.
Cabinet Doors
Yes. If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout works, replacing doors and drawer fronts is a smart, faster upgrade that keeps costs and downtime lower.
Clean-lined Shaker remains a favorite for its versatility. Slab doors fit modern spaces, while raised-panel profiles suit more traditional homes. We’ll help match the style to your counters, floors, and lighting.
Absolutely. We offer clear, frosted, reeded, and antique mirror options. They’re great for display cabinets, pantries, and bar areas where you want light and depth.
Timelines vary by material and finish, but most door replacement projects move from final measure to installation within a few weeks. We’ll confirm your exact schedule before we begin.
Custom Etched Glass
We generally replace existing panels because most installed glass is already tempered. Etching happens before tempering to protect the artwork and the safety rating. We’ll measure your opening and fabricate new panels that fit perfectly.
No. A soft cloth and mild cleaner work well. Etched areas hide fingerprints and water better than clear glass. Squeegee after showers to reduce mineral spots and keep the frosting crisp.
Most projects take one to three weeks from final approval to installation. Timelines vary with design complexity, glass thickness, and hardware selections. We’ll give you a clear window before we begin.
We recommend tempered or laminated glass based on placement and panel size. Our installers set hardware and seals to maintain a watertight, code-conscious enclosure without compromising your design.
Absolutely. Bring ideas or let us suggest patterns that match your tile and fixtures. We can scale borders, balance clear and frosted zones, and match finishes across showers, mirrors, and doors.
Custom Glass Table Tops
Most coffee and side tables do well with 3/8″. Large dining tables or conference tables often look and feel better with 1/2″ for more weight and stability. We will recommend the right thickness after we measure the span and discuss how the table is used.
Standard clear glass has a slight green tint. If you want the truest color, choose low-iron glass. It reduces the tint and keeps lighter woods and white paints looking crisp.
We use clear pads and proper edge polishing so the top stays put without visible brackets. On heavier or high-traffic pieces, we may add more pads for extra grip and airflow.
Lead time varies by size and edge detail. Many projects are measured and installed within a couple of weeks once your template is approved. We will confirm timing during your estimate.
Custom Interior Glass
Most projects move from measure to install in about two to three weeks, depending on glass type and hardware finish. Larger builds or special-order textures may take a bit longer.
Yes. Most of our projects are installed in existing homes during remodels or design updates. We can often add glass walls, dividers, railings, and other features without major structural changes.
Absolutely. We partner with homeowners, designers, architects, and builders to ensure the design and timeline stay on track.
Custom Mirrors
Most projects move from measure to install within one to two weeks, depending on glass selection and edge work. We’ll share your exact lead time at the consult.
Yes. We carry a range of clips and standoffs in popular finishes like chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, and brass, so your mirror ties in with the rest of the room.
We recommend safety backing and proper anchors for oversized pieces and fitness spaces. Our team sizes hardware according to the weight of the glass and the wall material.
Yes. We can fabricate mirrors in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including arched, angled, oversized, and specialty configurations designed to fit unique spaces.
Custom Shower Glass
Most projects move from final measurements to installation in about two to three weeks, depending on glass selections and hardware availability. We’ll confirm your timeline after we measure the post-tile.
If you have light tile, marble, or a bright palette, low-iron glass keeps colors true by reducing the green tint of standard clear. It’s a popular upgrade for premium baths.
Frameless enclosures manage water with precise reveals, quality sweeps, and proper silicone sealing. We’ll recommend door swing and panel placement that direct water back into the shower, then test everything before we leave.
Custom Wine Rooms
Most projects benefit from a dedicated cooling unit designed for wine storage. It keeps temperatures steady and prevents humidity swings that can loosen labels or dry corks. The exact model depends on room size, insulation, and glass area.
After design approval, fabrication typically takes one to three weeks. On-site installation is usually completed in a day, though complex builds or large walls can take longer. Scheduling may vary based on material lead times.
Proper insulation, a true vapor barrier, and balanced airflow minimize condensation. We size the cooling system and specify seal packages so the interior stays stable even on humid days.
Yes. These are common and look great with custom miters, low-profile channels, and thoughtful lighting. We’ll confirm framing and clearances during the site assessment.
Wood, metal, and peg systems all work. We recommend non-warping materials with good label visibility and adequate clearance around vents to keep air moving.
We use tempered safety glass by default and can upgrade to laminated glass. Lockable handles and discreet fasteners help protect your collection without bulky hardware.
Door Glass
Most standard replacements are measured on site and installed after fabrication is complete. Lead time varies by glass type and size. We’ll give you a clear timeline at your estimate.
Both are safety options. Tempered is heat-strengthened and breaks into small pieces. Laminated has two panes bonded with a clear layer that helps hold shards in place. We’ll recommend based on where the door is and how it’s used.
Yes. We can source many common textures and present close matches when an exact pattern is no longer available. We’ll bring samples so you can compare them in natural light.
Correctly sized panels and fresh seals make a noticeable difference. You’ll often feel less air movement and hear fewer outdoor sounds once gaps are addressed.
Frameless Shower Doors
From final measure to installation, most projects are completed in about 1 to 3 weeks, depending on glass selection and hardware availability. On install day, plan for a few hours, then 24 hours for silicone to cure before first use.
When measured and installed correctly, frameless systems manage water very well. Thoughtful sweep placement, tight tolerances, and curb design keep splashes where they belong. We’ll review splash zones during planning.
Use a daily squeegee, mild non-abrasive cleaner weekly, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage protective coatings or pit hardware finishes. Protective glass options further reduce spotting.
Yes. We regularly coordinate with homeowners, designers, and builders to align timelines, tile details, and hardware selections so everything comes together smoothly.
Shower Doors
Yes. Very few bathrooms are perfectly square or level. Our team takes detailed measurements and fabricates the glass to accommodate wall variations, curb slopes, and other irregularities so the finished enclosure fits properly and operates smoothly.
Yes. We install bypass sliders, barn-style rollers, and traditional swing doors. During your consultation, we’ll review your room size, curb details, and shower head position to recommend the best option.
Yes. We regularly build solutions for angled walls, bench seating, knee walls, oversized openings, curbless showers, and other unique layouts. Every enclosure is measured and fabricated specifically for the space rather than relying on standard sizes.
The right choice depends on available clearance, shower size, and how you use the space. Sliding doors work well in tighter bathrooms where door swing is limited, while swing doors provide a wider opening and a more traditional frameless appearance.
Absolutely. We coordinate measurements, hardware finishes, and timelines with your team so the enclosure complements the overall design and stays on schedule.
Shower Enclosures
Most projects move from final measure to installation in about one to three weeks, depending on glass type, fabrication schedule, and hardware availability. We’ll confirm your exact timeline after the on-site measure.
Yes. We carry popular finishes and can source specialty options when needed. Bring a photo or sample to the showroom, and we’ll get as close a match as possible.
For frameless swing doors, 3/8 inch is the most common balance of strength and weight. Larger panels or steam units may benefit from 1/2 inch. We’ll recommend what’s best for your layout.
A properly designed frameless surround uses seals, sweeps, and smart panel placement to manage spray. During measure, we look at shower head angles, curb pitch, and door swings to keep water where it belongs.
Yes. Removal and haul-away of the old unit are included at no extra cost. We protect nearby finishes and clean the work area before we leave.
Sliding Shower Doors
Most slider installs take a few hours once the glass is fabricated. Timelines vary by opening size, hardware style, and tile conditions, but we keep you updated from measure to final cleanup.
Yes. Traditional bypass doors use two panels that slide past each other on parallel tracks, allowing access from either side of the shower. Barn-style sliding doors typically feature a single moving panel that glides along an exposed rail, creating a more modern, decorative look. During your consultation, we’ll explain the advantages of each style and help you choose the option that best fits your space and design goals.
With correct overlaps, tracks, and seals, a well-fitted slider controls splash effectively. We’ll review spray patterns and head locations during design to keep water where it belongs.
It depends on the system you choose. Traditional bypass doors allow access from either side because both panels slide. Some barn-style systems use one fixed panel and one moving panel. We’ll explain the differences and help you choose the layout that works best for your bathroom.
We can provide a ballpark over the phone with basic measurements and photos. Final pricing comes after on-site measurements to confirm a precise fit.
Glass Railing
Most residential rails use tempered safety glass in the 1/2 inch range, selected for strength and clarity. For special needs or exterior projects, we can review laminated options as well.
Yes. We confirm measurements on-site and provide shop drawings that show panel breaks, post locations, and cap rail details so you can approve everything before we order glass.
Our team protects floors, drills and anchors hardware, sets glass, and seals where needed. We clean up before we leave and show you the best way to keep panels spotless.
Timelines vary by project size and hardware selection. After your in-home consultation and approval of drawings, fabrication typically follows, then installation is scheduled promptly.
Absolutely. We carry popular finishes such as chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and warm brass tones so your new railing ties in with fixtures, lighting, and door hardware.
