Custom Residential Glass for Showers, Mirrors, Furnishings & More
Residential glass plays a bigger role in your home than most people realize. It allows natural light to flow into rooms, adds safety to outdoor spaces, and brings a polished finish to bathrooms, staircases, and living spaces. Choosing the right glass isn’t just about appearance; it also impacts durability, safety, and long-term maintenance.
Aspen Glass works with homeowners, designers, and remodelers in Colorado Springs to help them understand their glass options and make informed decisions during new builds and renovations.
Why Residential Glass Matters in Modern Homes
Glass upgrades often occur during high-stakes projects, such as remodeling a bathroom, finishing a basement, or designing outdoor living spaces. These projects can feel overwhelming, especially when every detail (measurements, finishes, hardware) needs to be correct.
A residential glass specialist helps by:
Explaining design options and their trade-offs
Ensuring accurate measurements for safety and performance
Coordinating fabrication and installation on schedule
Providing clear communication throughout the project
This kind of guidance is especially valuable during remodels, where glass must integrate seamlessly into existing structures.
Shower Doors: A Top Choice for Modern Bathrooms
One of the most common and impactful uses of residential glass is in the bathroom, specifically in frameless shower doors.
Frameless glass showers are in high demand because they:
Create an open, spacious feel even in smaller bathrooms
Showcase tilework and design details without bulky framing
Use thicker, tempered glass for strength and durability
Offer a sleek, modern look that increases a home’s appeal
Semi-frameless options are also available, blending streamlined design with some metal framing for additional support.
Because showers involve daily use and moisture, precision matters. Measurements must be exact, hardware must be properly aligned, and glass must be fabricated to handle pressure and heat changes. Professional installation ensures that the enclosure not only looks seamless but also performs reliably over time.
Other Common Residential Glass Applications
While shower enclosures are often the highlight of a remodel, other glass applications add safety, light, and style throughout a home:
Mirrors
Mirrors extend beyond bathrooms into bedrooms, entryways, and living areas. Custom mirrors can be cut to unique shapes, sized for wall coverage, or finished with decorative edges to match a room’s design.
Windscreens and Railings
Glass railings and windscreens enhance safety on decks, patios, and staircases without compromising visibility. They’re especially popular in spaces where homeowners want unobstructed views and a modern finish.
For each application, you will have choices in thickness, finish, and hardware. A glass specialist can review all details with you before ordering or installation.
From Idea to Installation
Many homeowners wonder what steps are needed to turn their vision into reality. While every project is unique, our process typically includes:
1. Consultation and Measurement
Start with a conversation about needs and design preferences, followed by precise on-site or showroom measurements.
2. Design and Estimate
Review available options, materials, and layouts, then receive a written estimate and a clear project timeline.
3. Fabrication
Glass is cut and prepared either in-house or through trusted vendors, depending on project specifications.
4. Installation
Employee installers handle the project, maintain a clean workspace, and confirm that the finished product matches the design.
By understanding the process in advance, homeowners can feel confident about timelines, costs, and results.
