Expecting Company? Introducing the GlassWorks 1-2-3 Make-Over!

Categories:

by

Just about this time of year we start getting the panicky phone calls - “The family is coming and I need help. Quick!” 

Introducing the GlassWorks 1-2-3 Guest Bath Make-Over:

 

1.  UPDATE THE MIRROR.  With so many varieties of frames & mirror styles, get a little creative…

Antique mirror and gilt frames add instant warmth and a surprise touch of elegance. Tell your guests they're special.

For an upscale, classical look, we’re excited about our Biltmore line of frames, by Larson-Juhl.  The frames surrounding two Renoir’s at the Biltmore Estate became the springboard for the collection of six profiles, all of which have both rich detail and the patina of age.

You’ll find a large assortment of frames & mirrors to suit any style in our GlassWorks of Summit showroom.  We also have a great team of craftspeople to bring your unique designs to life.  Recent projects include:  Mosaic Tile Surrounds, Hand-Painted/Distressed Effects, Old Window & Door Frames.

2.  CHANGE YOUR SHOWER DOOR.  (Leave the frames for the mirror.)

Both practical and visually unobtrusive, frameless shower doors and panels are the way to go.  Quality hardware and a professional installation usually mean the old-fashioned framed shower doors and tracks are a thing of the past.  When calcium and lime deposits have gunked up the track beyond hope, odds are, the glass doors have become hazy and filmy, too.

What a transformation a clear, bright and easy-gliding shower door can create!  To top it off, add a towel bar or designer door handle.  We’ll walk you through the options.

3.  REPLACE OLD SOAP CADDY WITH NEW CORNER SHELVES.  Bet you didn’t realize how awful your old ones have become!

GlassWorks of Summit carries a variety of glass & wire corner shelves for inside the shower, in chrome, brass, brushed/satin nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze finish options.  Modern plating techniques prevent premature aging.  We carefully screw the new baskets in the corner of your shower, eliminating those clumsy caddies that hang from your shower head.  Most families find two 10″ shelves for bottles and a smaller soap basket just right.  Glass corner shelves offer a less-obtrusive look and are a breeze to clean.

Call us today and we’ll supply and install two glass corner shelves in your shower or tub for FREE!  (908) 277-4242

Get a Grip Before You Slip! – Grab Bars

Categories:

by

Yes, we have full confidence in our products, but the next time you climb out of the tub, please don’t use the shower door as a grab bar!

No matter our age, we all need a little help climbing out of bath tubs.   Typical bath tub heights range from 14 to 17″ high.  However, if you like to soak, be prepared to climb over a tub around 19″ to 21″ high.  Do a few inches matter?  A 21″ step is equal to climbing up your stairway two steps at a time.  Now add soap and water and you see the dilemma.

So, now that you’ve planned a beautiful new bathroom, will grab bars give the appearance of a hospital room?  Not at all.   We’ve found a few terrific designs that come in a variety of finishes, including: Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze & Blackened Chrome.

Installing grab bars properly requires planning.  If you’d like to consider this option, please speak with us or your contractor before your tub is framed.  We’ll also want to confirm that your tub doors clear past the grab bar.  If you are adding a grab bar to an existing tub area, we’ll walk you through the necessary steps.

Hurricanes & Earthquakes! Tips to Protect Home & Family.

Last week many in the area felt tremors as Virginia’s 5.8 earthquake rippled up the East Coast.  In addition, we experienced a considerable amount of rains and wind gusts from Hurricane Irene as the week came to a close!

Boarding Up for Hurricane Irene, August 2011

We hope you and your family were home, safe and sound.  (With electric.)  Friday night, we reached out to approximately 450 of our customers via email with helpful tips, links and 24 hour emergency contact information. We hope it was helpful, as we did receive emergency calls throughout the weekend.

Broken glass can cause a number of emergency problems.  Here are a few tips to make sure your home and family are protected:

  • Ensure any glass that is not backed by a solid surface (i.e. windows, shower doors, shelves), that is installed in a bathroom be tempered.  This is the law.
  • Check that all hanging pictures and mirrors are still securely hung.  Any heavy items should have proper anchoring and support.
  • Check that weather stripping, roofing, siding and flashing are not damaged around windows, doors & skylights.
  • Get a professional inspection of trees on your property.  Make sure there are no threats of limbs too close to your house.
  • Make a plan for the next storm, especially removing any small outdoor items that may become projectiles in high winds.  Also, establish a relationship with a local contractor, should you require boarding up your windows or doors.

If you need repair assistance, please call us at (908) 277-4242.  We offer a range of repair services and always make ourselves available for emergencies.

Most workout rooms we come across aren’t as spacious or decked out as the ones we see in “MTV Cribs”.  But, here are a few ideas of how mirror and glass can instantly take your at-home gym to the next level…

Call us today (908) 277-4242 to see how we can make-over your home gym.  Or, click here.

1.  Check yourself out at every angle!

Space-saving pivoting side mirrors fold flat against the wall.

 

2.  Build steam shower adjacent to workout room.

3.  Partition off a large common area for privacy.

Sliding partitions come in a large variety of patterns & textures. Great for dressing areas, too.

 

4.  Install a large framed mirror, instead of floor-to-ceiling.

“You Get What You Pay For”

That’s why you don’t see us advertise for “Fastest Delivery!” or “We’ll beat our competitors!”. We prefer to advertise the strengths of our products and service.

We know deals seem appealing, but we also understand the cost and time it takes to deliver a product that you interact with every day.

Frameless Shower Enclosure & Bathroom Mirror


So, when it’s time to select a glass shower door, you need to decide: Do you want a shower enclosure installed to look and perform like new for decades to come? Or, do you want the Deal of the Week?
