STANDOFF MIRRORS

The following mirrors are held off the wall ½”. We are able to mount mirrors anywhere from ¼” to 1” away from the wall making them appear to be suspended in mid air.

 

STAINLESS STEEL END CAP

Enclosed is a shower door we installed in Paradise Valley. Notice the heavy European door mounted to glass tile using jamb-mounted hinges. Also notice that the tile setter finished off the tile at the outside edge with a stainless steel trim. The stainless trim gave the shower a modern look.

ROPE INSTALLATION

A growing trend in shower construction is to install rope or bull nose accents. If the homeowner chooses to install a European shower enclosure, the accent has to be notched in order for the door to pivot in and out. Enclosed is a picture of a solution to notching the accent. This Phoenix customer finished their rope accent before it obstructed the doors’ installation point, thus creating a clean look.

TUB SHOWER SCREEN INSET

 

We recently installed a 1/2" glass shower screen on a tub and inset the panel into the stone. This procedure requires coordination between your tile setter and and your glass company. The extra effort is well worth it.
