Pushing the boundaries of Shower Glass

A Cut Above Glass is extremely proud of the fact that we are working on new and exciting frameless shower enclosure designs that break the boundaries of traditional bathrooms. This year our company is working with some of the areas most renowned custom homebuilders. These new clients have asked us to literally think outside of the box in order to create unique one of a kind glass applications. Our goal is to not only wow the home owner but to make people in general think differently about how glass can be incorporated into main focal points of the home. The upscale bathrooms of today are rooms of luxury. It is more about beauty, elegance, and style than a place to simply use the facilities. Through the use of trackless all glass steam showers, high grade stone materials, and other incredible design aspects, homeowners now have the ability to own their own spas. Bathrooms may not be the main gathering spot in the house, however people are certainly spending more and more time relaxing in them. This is why it is so important that the space is designed with the proper layout, and in an upscale manner.Steam shower enclosure

The following picture is a perfect example of a cutting edge trend in bathroom design. The builder asked us to design an entirely unique European shower application that could serve two purposes. The structure needed to provide the appearance of a customized glass sculpture that would impress clients with even the most discerning tastes. In addition it had to be a highly functional unit. With those specifications in mind we decided to incorporate a freestanding soaker tub into a large glass steam shower enclosure. This way the owner will be able to enjoy the soaker tub while at the same time relaxing in a steam bath for the complete spa at home experience. Bathrooms such as this one could only be dreamed of in the past. In order to accomplish the freestanding glass sculpture appearance, we designed this shower with the use of minimal hardware. It was actually installed using only four clamps and two hinges. We also incorporated a brand new design aspect through the use of white river rock and white tile. The difference in textures, and subtle color differences provided an upscale, sophisticated look. The square shaped double-sided towel bars where designed to provide easy access to both hanging and steam towels while looking great at the same time.At A Cut Above Glass we pride ourselves on providing the most creative glass based solutions to clients in the Scottsdale, Arizona and surrounding areas. If you are a builder, designer, or homeowner that is looking for that special design, please contact us today. We look forward to working with you.

Are you looking to remodel your Scottsdale, Arizona bathroom this year? If so one of the most cost effective areas to improve is the shower. By replacing your old outdated shower, with something more modern like a frameless glass shower enclosure, you will add beauty to the room. This modern look is a great way to put some spark back into your old outdated bathroom. Many homeowners are replacing their showers with this type of shower glass and the results are stunning! Let’s go over some of the features of this amazing product and see why so many people are getting it installed in their homes.

Sprucing Up Your Bathroom With Frameless Shower Glass

Many showers have knee walls with frosted bathroom glass on top. This frosted glass is attached to a frame and often times these frames become rusty over time. So instead of replacing it with another frame, why not go frameless? A clear glass screen looks much better than those old frosted ones and they can be attached with a special sleeve, that fits over the top of the glass. This gives the shower a unique look, as if there is no hardware holding the glass. The results are simply amazing! This clamping method is almost unnoticeable and will secure the glass keeping it from moving or falling. While it may look like the glass is floating in midair, it is safely secured to the wall at all times.

 

Another nice feature that will make your bathroom shower look fabulous, is the radious corner that sticks out from the top. This rounded look is both sleek and appealing to the eye. Unlike those sharp corners of the past, this new rounded look fits in well. In addition, a rounded corner will help prevent injury, unlike those glass enclosures that are sharp and pointed. So if you are thinking of redoing your bathroom, why not go with a more natural and safe rounded edge.

Protecting wooden furniture can be made easy by installing a glass top. We can fabricate tops to fit most furniture and have different thicknesses and colors of glass available. The top in the lower right picture is a glass called greylite witch almost looks black. A Cut Above Glass can install tops in boardrooms to protect expensive veneer tables and desks. The luster of the wood remains if the glass is damaged and the top can be replaced.

Recessed U-Channel for Glass Shower

Recessed U-Channel for Glass Shower

 

This U-Channel is the ideal selection for recessing into the floor, wall, or ceiling, to provide the frameless “all-glass” appearance. The top lip of the U-Channel is angled to deflect the water away. A lip on the top of the U-Channel covers the edge of the tile. Glass is wet glazed into Channel. 98 inch (2.49 meter) stock lengths are available for 3/8″ or 1/2″ (10 or 12 mm), in a choice of brite anodized and brushed nickel finishes. Coordination with your tile setter will be imperative as the tolerance between tile has to be pre thought out.

We have installed glass in between tile for years, and I think using this U channel will give an outstanding finished shower look.
