Interior Glass Partitions & Walls

Interior glass partitions open up offices and homes with clean lines, natural light, and modern flexibility. We design and install partition walls in clear, frosted, or custom back-painted glass to balance visibility and privacy however you need it. Our frameless systems define spaces without walling them off, which makes them ideal for conference rooms, studios, retail buildouts, and home offices in converted brownstones. Every installation is fabricated to exact measurements, with hardware and finish options selected to suit the space.

Frameless Shower Doors & Glass Enclosures

Shadyside bathrooms come in every era and footprint, from compact en suites in century-old homes to renovated primary baths with modern fixtures. We design frameless shower doors and glass enclosures to fit them all, crafted from tempered safety glass with smooth edges and hardware finishes including brushed nickel and chrome. Configurations include pivot doors, barn-style sliders, neo-angle enclosures, and standard sliding glass shower doors. Each custom frameless shower door is measured for a precise fit and installed to maintain clean lines, watertight performance, and lasting daily use.

Custom Mirrors

Custom mirrors brighten bathrooms, salons, gyms, and living spaces by reflecting light and adding depth. We fabricate and install mirrors in any size, shape, and edge finish you need, including beveled edges, polished surfaces, and framed designs that suit historic and contemporary décor alike. Mirror replacement projects, vanity upgrades, and full-wall installations are all part of our regular work. Every piece is mounted with the right hardware for safety and symmetry, so the final result feels intentional rather than improvised.

Glass Partitions & Railings

Our glass partitions and railing systems combine safety, transparency, and architectural appeal. Glass railings work beautifully on staircases, balconies, and mezzanines, fabricated from tempered or laminated safety glass for structural integrity and code compliance. We also supply glass shelving, table tops, and custom panels for residential and commercial spaces alike. Every railing and partition is fabricated and installed to your exact specs, with hardware and finish options chosen to complement the surrounding architecture.
