Glasshouse Brings Beauty to the Shower

June 23, 2011 - Posted by Zara MaddocksTags: Shower

Glasshouse recently added to their showroom a unique shower enclosure that has become increasingly popular with DFW architects and designers.  A great deal of time is spent in the selection of tiles, stones, and fixtures for the bathroom, and until recently, the shower door has been a bit of an after thought. The main criteria being that it be as unobtrusive as possible. However, with the ability to use decorative glass, designers are now finding ways to showcase the shower with an enclosure that becomes the star performer in the bathroom.

A departure from the standard aluminum frame or frameless shower, this unique shower frame is made of steel, which is then powder coated and protected with a clear coat.  This technique gives the frame a hand-wrought look.



Equally unique is the glass enclosure. Glasshouse has a reputation among designers and architects as a producer of spectacular glass designs. Taking decorative glass and making it usable for a functional shower door takes precision and skill. 

While a glass window can be made beautiful, it often does not have to endure the rigorous opening and closing of a shower door. For this reason, Glasshouse has taken the leaded art glass or beveled glass and protected it on the inside with tempered glass.

Glasshouse works directly with the designer and architect to personalize each project and this technique has provided almost unlimited design options. Visit the showroom at 905 Dragon Street in Dallas, Texas to see samples of these amazing decorative glass shower enclosures, in addition to their stained and leaded glass, cast glass, antique mirrors, sandblasted and painted glass, and storefront glass for both commercial and residential installations.
