Services
Frameless Shower Doors
Custom frameless shower doors eliminate bulky metal frames for a modern aesthetic. Our installations use tempered safety glass with premium hardware options. Each door receives precise measurements and hinges tailored to bathroom dimensions. Clients choose from various glass thicknesses, finishes, and handle styles to match their decor while ensuring watertight functionality.
Custom Mirrors
Custom mirrors transform spaces with tailored dimensions and edge treatments. We offer beveled edges, silver polishing, and sandblasted patterns. Installation includes wall-mounting systems and reinforcement for large-scale projects. Mirror sizes range from small accent pieces to full wall coverings that enhance lighting and create depth illusions in both residential and commercial environments.
Glass Countertops
Durable glass countertops provide scratch-resistant surfaces for bathrooms and kitchens. Available in multiple thicknesses with custom cutouts for sinks and fixtures. We fabricate countertops with polished edges and optional etched designs. Glass resists stains and bacteria while offering contemporary elegance that complements modern interiors.
Commercial Storefronts
Commercial storefront systems combine security with visual appeal. Our installations include framed and frameless glass configurations with weatherstripping and reinforced points. Entrance designs accommodate high foot traffic while maintaining energy efficiency. Clients receive storefronts that showcase merchandise while providing structural durability and code compliance for retail and office spaces.
Glass Repairs
Glass repair services address cracked, chipped, or broken windows and mirrors. We match existing glass types including insulated, tempered, and patterned varieties. Repairs extend to shower enclosures, tabletops, and retail displays with minimal disruption. Our technicians assess damage to determine if repairs suffice or full replacements better serve longevity and safety requirements.
