Frequently asked questions.

Glass & Customization

Do you offer custom glass solutions?
Yes. Every shower enclosure, partition, and mirror is made to order, tailored precisely to each project’s spatial, aesthetic, and technical requirements.

Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We partner with leading design professionals to create glass solutions that are architecturally cohesive and meticulously detailed. Our design direction is led by a seasoned architectural designer with over 10 years of experience in high-end residential, hospitality, and custom fabrication—bringing a depth of expertise that ensures every collaboration is both technically rigorous and visually refined.

What customization options are available?
We offer a full range of materials, glass types (including low-iron, acid-etched, fluted, and tinted), finishes, and hardware styles—each fabricated to exacting standards.

Can you assist with layout and design?
Yes. We provide design consultation, space planning, and millwork integration to ensure each system is thoughtfully resolved and seamlessly executed.

What design documentation and support do you provide?
For select projects, we offer comprehensive design services that extend beyond fabrication. Our deliverables may include:

  • Finish and material selection

  • Plans, elevations, and sections

  • Concept and schematic design packages

  • Detailed drawings of key conditions and assemblies

  • High-quality renderings for visualization

This level of support ensures every detail is thoughtfully resolved and seamlessly integrated—bridging the gap between design intent and built reality.

Who are these services best suited for?
Our design support is ideal for homeowners, designers, and developers seeking cohesive, detail-driven solutions that elevate residential or hospitality environments.

Can you assist with full bathroom design or only glass components?
While glass is our core focus, we frequently design complete bathroom environments—including vanities, partitions, built-ins, and finishes—ensuring all elements are well-integrated and aligned with the design vision.

Do you work within existing spaces and conditions?
Yes. We specialize in designing around architectural constraints and integrating new elements into existing environments with precision and care.

Do you offer technical drawings or visual materials?
Yes. We produce detailed shop drawings and, when needed, design packages that include elevations, sections, and finish schedules to support clear communication and seamless coordination.

Is design included in fabrication and installation projects?
Basic design and coordination are often built into our fabrication projects. More comprehensive design packages—such as full space planning, millwork detailing, and finish consulting—are offered as a separate service with dedicated scope and fees.
