Homeowners and business owners alike are more inclined to seek custom glass designs to enhance their spaces and for good reasons. Incorporating glass into your interior design offers more than practicality in the bathroom—it can introduce functionality and warmth, and even add value to your property. Not only is it one of the most used materials, but glass has been used in architectural design for centuries, and has become more versatile in recent years.

Glass Backsplash

Backsplash can set the aesthetic for your kitchen and is often one of the most challenging design choices to settle on. While ceramic tiles were once popular, glass backsplash is trending with its high functionality, ease of maintenance, and cleaning. Glass backsplash is back painted glass, which involves a coating that is typically applied to the back surface of clear or textured glass, producing an opaque or translucent color. This allows for unlimited color choices and applications. Used in your kitchen or bathroom, glass backsplash is easy to clean, no grout is required during installation, and since light bounces off the glass, it is an excellent option for rooms lacking natural light.

Glass Cabinets

Open cabinetry continues to trend in interior design, but installing glass serves as protective storage and a display for valuable pieces. Whether you are updating kitchen cabinets for a modern aesthetic or a family hutch with glass panels that need to be replaced, it will be a statement piece for the room because glass is timeless and will fit most decor.

During a consultation, we can show you various designs that are available, like custom glass overlay or etched glass inserts, and we can cut wood cabinets to fit glass inserts in.

Moving Glass Walls

There are many styles of glass walls, including folding, sliding, and pocket glass walls, which are commonly used for patio doors. Not only does this choice introduce natural light into a space, but it can connect the indoors to the outdoors to bring nature in. The major difference between the styles is how they operate—folding walls retract accordion-style with the panels stacked together on one or both sides while sliding glass walls slide on a tracking mechanism to one side as you would see with sliding glass doors.

You have most likely seen glass walls in doctors’ offices or office buildings. Many homeowners are now designing their homes with glass wall systems to add a more open feel and provide unobstructed views with ease of operation and durability.
