Residential Glass, Room by Room
Bathrooms
Custom shower enclosures in framed, semi-frameless and frameless styles, glass shelving, and vanity mirrors cut to fit the exact width of the wall rather than the nearest stock size. Bathroom glass is where most residential jobs start, because it is the fixture people look at every single day.
Kitchens
Glass cabinet-door inserts, backsplash glass, and glass shelving for open storage. Kitchen glass tends to be smaller in area than a shower enclosure but higher in visibility, so edgework and clarity matter more than size.
Living Areas and Entryways
Decorative glass entry doors, glass tabletops, furniture coverings that protect a finished surface without hiding it, and framed or antique mirrors as feature pieces. This is the category where personalisation goes furthest — pattern, colour, and even a photo etched into the glass.
Whole-House
Insulated and double-hung window glass replacement, and general glass repair, sit alongside the decorative work. A cracked window pane and a custom mirror are different jobs, but they come from the same shop and the same measuring tape.

Frameless, Semi-Frameless or Framed — For a Home
In a residential setting, the choice usually comes down to who uses the bathroom and how the room resells. Frameless is the most requested option in primary bathrooms and full renovations because it reads as a permanent upgrade rather than an add-on. Semi-frameless suits a secondary bathroom where the budget matters but a dated framed unit still needs replacing. Framed remains the practical choice for rental properties and guest bathrooms, where lower cost and easy cleaning matter more than showroom looks.

A Typical Residential Project
- You call or request a quote, and describe the room and what you have in mind.
- A free consultation — by phone for simple items, in person for a shower enclosure or larger job — confirms the scope.
- Measurements are taken from the finished surface once tile, paint or cabinetry is in place, so the glass fits the room as-built, not as-drawn.
- You choose glass type, thickness, pattern and hardware finish before anything is ordered.
- Your glass is fabricated to that exact measurement and installed on the scheduled date.
- You get a short walkthrough on cleaning and care, particularly for shower glass, since Baton Rouge’s hard water is the single biggest factor in how it looks a year from now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tile and any wall finishing should be complete before we measure, since the glass is templated to the finished surface. You do not need the rest of the bathroom — vanity, lighting, paint — finished first.
In most cases, yes. Bring a photo or a sample to the consultation and we will match glass type, edgework and, where possible, an antique or tinted finish.
Cloudiness in this area is almost always hard-water mineral buildup rather than dirt. A squeegee after every use, a monthly vinegar-based clean, and a protective coating applied at installation are the three things that make the biggest difference.
Yes — that is the normal case rather than the exception. Because every piece is custom fabricated, an out-of-square or non-standard opening is measured for directly rather than forced to fit a stock panel.
Yes. Bring the table's dimensions or the table itself, and glass can be cut with polished or bevelled edges to protect the surface underneath.
