Custom Glass and Mirror

Glass is made from a mixture of sand, lime, and soda and is then melted at high temperatures until it is a liquid. This liquid is then formed into all kinds of glass, including the standard window glass that we look through every day. With small changes to the ingredients, different colors and effects are achieved. This is what enables things like stained glass windows to be placed high in a cathedral, or for a home in Dallas’ glass and mirror to be installed. Different kinds of glass can also have different textures ranging from perfectly smooth to somewhat rough, making glass surfaces customizable to match the unique aesthetic of your home.

Why And Where To Use Glass

However you use it, glass allows for plenty of natural light, reducing the need for lighting and saving some money on electricity for lights. Some of the benefits of using glass are:

Glass is weather-durable - never molding or being degraded by sunlight, water, or wind. This makes glass a natural choice for any place that has excessive moisture, such as a shower. Many homeowners choose to install a frameless shower door as it has almost no metal parts that might get rusted over time, ensuring years of use.

Glass is versatile - Glass is not only used for windows but is commonly used for tables, shelves, and sliding doors, shower doors, and for making mirrors. The see-through property of glass even allows you to protect expensive table tops with a piece of glass so that you can still enjoy its beauty where a tablecloth would cover it up.

Enhance your space -  Customize your space with glass! The reflective properties of glass allow a few well-placed mirrors to make a room seem bigger, and adding windows can make a place look more prominent and open.

Glass is eco-friendly -  A versatile material, glass can be recycled over and over again, making it suitable for the environment. 

Alluring Glass Storefront Windows

A glass storefront entices potential customers who see what is inside – hopefully making them want to buy the products offered! Glass storefront windows can be made "switchable" so that they can turn opaque with literally the flip of a switch. They can even be made bulletproof should the store be in a dangerous area.
