I want to put to rest the idea that frameless showers require no hardware whatsoever. A thousand curses on Pinterest, IG, Houzz and the misguided individual who first posted a photo of gravity defying heavy glass panels, staying securely upright by the faith of the homeowner and the unfailing strength of silicone alone.

My last post on gridded shower doors received a fair amount of attention for our little blog. For the past few years, we’ve gotten frequent calls from across the U.S. asking if our Gridlite showers could be purchased directly from us.

Thanks to Siri, OK Google, Cortona and our other occasionally confused, algorithmic-based friends, searching for goods and services in your neighborhood is now a simple voice command away. This has been a real game changer for traditionally localized services. Take our industry, for example, glass replacement and repair. Asking your mobile device to locate “glass...Read More

Alright, it doesn’t exactly have the clout of the...Read More

Another picture perfect shower by American Glass & Mirror. A frameless shower is the obvious choose for a designer bathroom such as this, complementing its refined austerity. The homeowner didn’t have to get overly elaborate with the shower to achieve a striking effect. This is just a simple heavy glass door and panel, with a...Read More

Shower Grids Although frameless is still king, there’s a new look making its way into designer bathrooms. The gridded (or divided lite) shower is an increasingly popular style for homeowners who want to buck the minimalist trend of a nearly all glass shower, and instead embrace the metal by going so far as to let...Read More

There are people who love being naked, have to be naked, those that enjoy the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze. For every one of these dilettante nudists, there is another who suffered the taunts of fellow pubescents for wearing a swimsuit into the showers after gym class – someone with an intense aversion...Read More

Last week we enjoyed our annual stint at the Minneapolis Home & Garden Show. It’s always an exciting event featuring the latest in home improvement and care, as well as a host of foodie freebies, and other fun stuff you didn’t know you needed. A good time was had by American Glass employees, getting out...Read More
