Uses of glass in the home

As you look around your home and contemplate remodeling, consider using glass, which brings in light naturally to your home and it can be used to obscure, brighten, and enhance views in many rooms.

Glass is, by its nature, very durable, tough and easy to maintain. In a bathroom, glass is used for shower doors, enclosures and separating screens. Glass can also be used on shower walls, tub surrounds and even as a backsplash.

Modern bathrooms are all about openness, fluidity, and flow. Investing in a frameless glass shower door creates a more open, seamless, and contemporary space.

There are many choices of different textures and patterns for glass that offer unique design opportunities not only in bathrooms, but kitchens too. Adding glass to your kitchen creates a modern, sleek look. Glass countertops for islands are functional, beautiful and stain resistant.

Another trend is using glass or mirrored glass walls/dividers between a bedroom and bath to create an illusion of more space.

Glass on stair treads or stairwells opens up the area and provides and unobtrusive yet protective element.

Using textured or patterned glass for windows or doors can really set a room’s mood. For example; rain glass windows in a bathroom are modern yet earthy. It looks as if rain is pouring down and achieves a spa-like feel.

Mirrors also can be wonderful additions. In bathrooms, they maximize natural and artificial light. For more individualized decor, consider getting custom mirrors made.
