The Tinted Window That Keeps On Giving
1. Privacy Tinted windows preserve the sweetest of our human desires: the need for privacy. When we strive to focus on work, or want to listen to a new album uninterrupted, or need to take a deep breath before reentering the world, tinted windows provide a space where the individual – you-can be a peace, even for a moment. Even though privacy may be the most obvious use of tinted windows, these installations provide a wealth of other benefits. 2. Safety Did you know that tinted windows are harder to break? Though nothing is totally impervious to shattering, the tinted

What’s So Great about Glass Handrails?
Want to know what’s so great about glass handrails? Two words. Inexpensive. Durable. Often, office managers have to cram their grand vision for their business into a tiny budget – forfeiting some necessary updates that can help the business grow. It can be a frustrating sacrifice. However, glass handrails, a sleekly designed nuance, can be a comparably affordable alternative to traditional handrails. By installing glass handrails, your business can keep costs low so you can splurge on that new printer – the one that doesn’t catch fire every time the ink runs out. Most handrails are installed for the long

Be Bold: How Glass Can Preserve Your Aesthetic
Sometimes the things that make us stand out also make us a little embarrassed. But don’t cover it up. Let what makes you unique shine through. Your kitchen or living room table is no different. Table bases come in a variety of interesting builds. These builds are bold design statements that set a thematic standard for the rest of the room. Unfortunately, they often go covered up because traditional table tops throw shade onto that interesting aesthetic choice. The solution? Glass table tops provide the transparency necessary to highlight these unique tables. Not only do they maximize viewership, but they

Let’s Talk About Your Home
Good glass fixtures matter. In previous posts, evidence has been presented as to why a competent glass installation has far-reaching benefits, from reasons that concern health and safety, all the way to saving new homeowners a few extra dollars. It matters and those reasons can be calculated in dollars, cents, and percentages. But there is so much more than happens in a good home than those conceptual statistical representations. After all, a home is where you live, where you make memories, and where some of the most special times in your life happen. Think back to that first really big snowstorm

What The Heck Are Narrow Sight Lines?
Other than having an obscenely long name, John Baptiste-Camille Corot is remembered as one of the best landscape painters in the western world. His greatest piece is La Trinite-des- Monts. It is said that he painted the spectacular landscape from his window view inside an Italian villa. Windows inspired one of the greatest artistic pieces of that period. Windows, at their most practical, allow us to experience the outside world from the comfort of our air-conditioned homes. That experience can be meditative, productive, or invigorating. Whether you want to ponder life while gazing at the crags of the nearby lake

A Brief History of Framed Mirrors
The Victorians were extravagant. Alongside feathered hats and the casual wearing of capes was opulent interior design. A mirror, for example, wasn’t just a mirror. Exotic flowers, Grecian faces, and prancing fauna were carved into its gilded frames. The organically swirling patterns of the frame were so intricate that they were works of art. In short, those Victorian mirrors were epic. Epic, however, slowly became gaudy as the Industrial Revolution made these luxuries obsolete. Then, the slow crawl toward modernism began. With an emphasis on minimalism, the ornate frames of mirrors became little more than curiosities. The new wave of
