4 Examples That Show Residential Glass is More Than Just Windows and Doors

If the first thing that crosses your mind when you think of residential glass are your windows and doors, you are overlooking some of the best applications for custom glass in your home. Bathrooms and kitchens are commonly fitted with glass but it is appropriate for every room, including the use of tinted glass, display cases, shelving, or just making a space seem larger with mirrors.

1. Bathroom Glass

Residential glass contractors have the power to transform bathrooms. Custom shower enclosures are built to match what you want. You can also upgrade the room's mirrors and cabinets to complement your new glass shower enclosure. Custom glass tub and shower enclosures take your bathroom-- and bathing experience-- to a new level. And you don't have to sacrifice privacy to have glass because there are many different textures and patterns available that brighten the area without putting anyone into a compromising position.

 

2. Kitchens and Cabinets

From a bright and shiny exterior to knowing where the dish you want is located, it is easy to breathe new life into your kitchen with glass cabinet fronts, knobs and handles. Not only will they give the room an exciting new appearance, but the array of colors and styles means your kitchen will be uniquely your own.

3. Display Cases and Shelves

Almost every room in your home can benefit from glass shelves and cabinets. Perfect for your children's trophies, family heirlooms, or treasured knick-knacks and collectibles, display cabinets are custom-built to meet your specifications. Unlike more traditional displays, viewers can get great visual perspectives from multiple directions when parts are not obscured by the shelving material. Available in custom designs that include textured glass, tinted glass, and a variety of thicknesses and beveled finishes.

4. Redirecting Natural Light

Residential glass is a great way to get sunlight into interior rooms. Strategically placed mirrors reflect light to put healthy natural light into every room. This helps conserve energy, but according to many years of research, it is also great for physical and mental health. Mirrors are an excellent way to give a room the illusion of more space, reflect isolated light sources for greater coverage, and more.

New residential glass will give your home a brand new appearance. From exterior windows and doors to brighter and more comfortable interior spaces, custom glass can do a lot. You may be surprised to discover how versatile glass can be, and the effects that it creates.
