High-quality, custom-cut glass and mirrors — for homes, businesses, and specialty installations.
Whether you’re upgrading a picture frame, replacing a window, or designing a luxury glass shower, we offer a wide selection of glass types, thicknesses, and safety options to match your vision and budget.
What Is Annealed Glass?
Annealed glass is the most common type of flat glass — cooled slowly to relieve internal stress. It’s easy to cut and process, making it the starting point for many custom glass projects.
Key features:
- Not heat-treated
- Breaks into large, sharp shards
- Best for non-impact or decorative use
- Often tempered or laminated for safety
We offer a range of modern designs that pair perfectly with tilework, lighting, and custom mirrors – turning your bathroom into a personal spa retreat.

We offer safety glass options for areas where strength, impact resistance, or fire safety is essential.
Tempered Glass (Toughened Glass) – Class A
Heat-treated for strength, tempered glass breaks into small, blunt pieces — minimizing injury risk. Required by building codes in many residential and commercial applications.
Why choose it:
- 4–5x stronger than annealed glass
- Shatters safely
- Required near tubs, showers, doors, stairs
Common uses:
Shower doors, railings, partitions, aquariums, display cases, vehicle windows
Laminated Glass – Class A, B, or C
Multiple glass layers bonded with a plastic interlayer. When broken, shards remain attached, improving safety, soundproofing, and security.
Benefits:
- High-impact resistance
- UV & noise reduction
- Enhanced security
Common uses:
Skylights, balconies, walk-on panels, soundproof windows, storefronts, canopies
Wired Glass (Georgian Wire Glass)
Reinforced with a steel wire mesh, wired glass offers fire resistance and basic impact safety. It’s designed to stay intact under extreme heat.
Advantages:
- Holds together in fires
- Prevents smoke/flame spread
- Meets certain safety codes
Typical applications:
Fire doors, institutional buildings, utility rooms, security entryways
