Beyond the Curtain - Glass in the Shower

SGO of the West GTA - Tuesday, July 20, 2010
Are you thinking of updating your bathroom or perhaps considering a complete renovation? Think glass! If you want to show off a beautiful tile design or marble and like a sleek, open feeling, then clear glass, like the shower to the left is for you. By using textured decorative glass you can add a major design element while maintaining functionality, without necessarily needing to redecorate the entire room.  It can help to obscure old tile or hardware and many of the decorative glasses available will also hide the water spots!
 
With either option, glass in the bath, whether for shower and bath enclosures or for privacy walls, is low maintenance, hygienic and durable. Customized to your specific design needs and function there is lots to choose from when it comes to price points, hardware and glass options. So give us a call for glass in the bath - whether clear or decorative - and we will work together to turn your vision into reality. Just click on the photos for more shower and bath ideas.

                      

What Else Can You Do With Textured Glass?

SGO of the West GTA - Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Textured Glass has a beauty of its own and is commonly seen as an alternative to plain glass in cabinet doors. There are many different types of glass available that offer various levels of transparency. It can replicate the look of old glass or be more contemporary in styling.  It can add a simple, elegant appeal to windows, but look what can happen when you add a lead design to the equation!  
 
Try to picture the window to the right without the added leadwork. The textured glass solves the problem of much-needed privacy, but it is the Prairie-style leadwork that really adds punch to the setting.  In the window to the near right, the chosen glass adds textural interest, while the traditional lead design enhances the room styling. 

                                          

Cabinet Glass - Elements to Consider When Making a Selection

SGO of the West GTA - Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Cabinet Glass is one of our most requested projects and there are many beautiful options to suit any style and budget. 
 
When we are working with clients in deciding what they would like, we often begin by asking what their needs are.  Do you want to hide what is in the cabinet or show it off? Will there be lighting in the cabinets? What are the cabinet, counter and backsplash finishes and what is the cabinet style? What size will the glass area be? If you are thinking that cabinet glass might be in your future, keep all of those factors in mind.  From there we can start to determine what type of designs and products will best suit your needs. 
 
You can use beautiful textured glass on its own or with added leadwork.  Enjoy the sparkle of bevels on clear glass with lead, or a glass design that combines various textures or colours.  We have a wonderful new SGO Cabinet Brochure that is full of both traditional and contemporary design ideas.  And don't forget that SGO Iron Art looks great in cabinets too.  It is an excellent solution for entertainment units that require adequate ventilation for the equipment inside.  Check the Kitchen Photo Gallery on our website for lots of wonderful examples.
