Bathrooms: the perfect place for stained glass
We sometimes receive calls from prospective Houston clients who know that they want stained glass in their homes, but aren’t quite sure where they want it. Entryways are popular. So are living rooms and kitchens. But with bathroom stained glass, Houston homeowners can add serious style and elegance to the bathroom while perhaps solving a practical problem.
What problem? Privacy, of course! With bathroom stained glass, Houston bathroom windows get the privacy their owners are looking for without blocking the natural light flowing through. We do that by building leaded stained glass windows using frosted, colorless, or pebbled glass, frequently mixed with beveled glass. This affords the privacy you want with the light flow you don’t want to give up.
If you have never seen bathroom stained glass, Houston clients are finding out it can be done in any style, any design, any pattern at all. It can match your décor or provide a dramatic focal point to the room. It happens to be phenomenal in that big window behind your tub, or even in that tiny shower window.
Take a look at our bathroom stained glass photo gallery to see just a few of the many windows we have designed for previous clients. No window is too large or too small. We can work with any shape as well.
And with custom bathroom stained glass in Houston, we’ve found that our customers have some other unique ideas as to where to add it, not just windows. Any bathroom doors, such as a bathroom closet door, can also have stained glass inserts that match the windows. Or the bathroom cabinet doors can be done over with stained glass as well. Or what about the glass shower door? Imagine that with a stunning stained glass design!
With very wet areas, we use a special installation technique that protects the new stained glass panel from the moisture in the room. We bond the new stained glass panel to the existing glass, and then add another clear pane of regular glass on the other side, effectively sandwiching and protecting the stained glass from the wetness.
Bathroom stained glass, Houston art lovers know, is the best way to really get that high-end, unique “art” look in a bathroom without putting fragile paintings at risk from the moisture and constant humidity. If you are looking for more privacy, more beauty, more style in your bathroom, why not give us a call today. We’d love to set up an appointment for you with one of our local designers to create the absolute best custom bathroom stained glass for your Houston home.
