Clear Glass & Bevels? Fabulous!!

SGO of the West GTA - Tuesday, January 04, 2011
Are you looking for sparkle but don't want added colour or texture? Do you want something beautiful but still want a clear view to what is on the other side of the glass? You can have it all! Look at these beautiful examples in a window and cabinets. A super way to add character and an individual touch to these spaces. Both photos are in the same gorgeous kitchen.

         

                           

Continuity in the Details

SGO of the West GTA - Monday, November 01, 2010

Designers and decorators often reference the importance of 'flow' in a home or space; the ease with which the eye can travel from one area to another. This can be accomplished through colour, flooring transitions, a specific style or decor. This does not mean that every room needs to look the same or be the same colour, but for instance, there may be a continuity of colour, used either as the main event or an accent. A repetition of architectural detail can be a subtle influence in how this all plays out. Think of moldings, baseboards and trims and how they can influence the 'feel' of a space. In this beautiful renovation of a century home, the detail of the entrance glass was repeated in other areas on the main floor.  A simple and unassuming detail, yet powerful in its contribution to this elegant home.

     

Where Can I Put Decorative Glass - Other Than A Window?

SGO of the West GTA - Monday, July 26, 2010

Where else can Decorative Art Glass be used?  Picture an interior window between two rooms that will allow light to flow from one to the other; interior transoms over doorways; folding privacy screens; cabinetry glass as an accent in your kitchen or entertainment unit; a light box to provide a ‘window’ in a room with no window; shower enclosures; even fluorescent ceiling panels and mirrors.  The possibilities are endless; if you can imagine it, we can usually find a way for it to be done! 

  

Beyond the Curtain - Glass in the Shower

SGO of the West GTA - Tuesday, July 20, 2010
Are you thinking of updating your bathroom or perhaps considering a complete renovation? Think glass! If you want to show off a beautiful tile design or marble and like a sleek, open feeling, then clear glass, like the shower to the left is for you. By using textured decorative glass you can add a major design element while maintaining functionality, without necessarily needing to redecorate the entire room.  It can help to obscure old tile or hardware and many of the decorative glasses available will also hide the water spots!
 
With either option, glass in the bath, whether for shower and bath enclosures or for privacy walls, is low maintenance, hygienic and durable. Customized to your specific design needs and function there is lots to choose from when it comes to price points, hardware and glass options. So give us a call for glass in the bath - whether clear or decorative - and we will work together to turn your vision into reality. Just click on the photos for more shower and bath ideas.

                      

Introducing Dreamwalls Marble Glass

SGO of the West GTA - Tuesday, July 06, 2010
When you look at these photos, would you guess that the backsplash and walls in this shower are actually glass? Dreamwalls Marble Glass is an exciting new product that combines the simple practicality of glass with the natural beauty of stone and marble. In fact, this month in Chicago it was awarded a NeoCon Silver Award in the "surfacing materials" category in the Best of NeoCon product competition. NeoCon is a major design show to the trade.
 
It has all of the glass benefits mentioned above and unlike many natural stones and marble, it is non-porous so does not require additional sealing or periodic maintenance. Using only high-resolution images of full-size slabs of stone and marble, (therefore no tiling effect) the image is then permanently bonded to Starphire ultra-clear glass. With over 65 patterns to choose from in a variety of thicknesses, it is a super product for horizontal applications like countertops or tables or used vertically such as in the photos above. 

                                           

Welcome Home - Make Yours Unique!

SGO of the West GTA - Wednesday, March 24, 2010
One way to add value and curb appeal to your home is to let us help you create beauty and privacy with decorative glass in your entry. It is an ideal spot to add an infusion of personality, but if you think about it, there are other areas in your home that can also reflect  your personal style.
 
You might prefer the traditional look of SGO Iron Art and textured glass, as in this beautiful window on the right.  Perhaps the funky, free-flowing design of the shower doors on the left is more your style. Either way, it should be a reflection of you.  Make it yours - make it unique!
