Custom glass features are affordable, durable, beautiful and elegant. The following are some ways to use custom glass to add drama to your space.
- Glass countertops are stylish and attractive, combining form and function. They’re versatile, beautiful, customizable and durable. To top it off, they’re low maintenance, hygienic and environmentally friendly. Consider a customized glass countertop for your space.
- Glass backsplashes: Backsplashes are usually made of ceramic tile, metal, porcelain or stone. Have you considered the show-stopping appeal of a glass backsplash? It adds style, interest and personality to a room. Tile and/or sheet glass backsplashes update and freshen a room, adding a whole new look and feel to the space. They’re heat resistant, easy to clean, hygienic, eco-friendly, versatile and add shimmer and sparkle to your home!
- Glass shower enclosures: The bathroom is a place to wash away the stress of the day, relax and unwind.

Open onto a balcony, patio, terrace or deck. Let natural light flood your rooms! Enhance the view and maximize your living space.
