Glencoe is a small, distinguished village with a high proportion of architecturally significant homes. The glass we install here is part of considered remodels, often coordinated with architects and designers working on substantial renovations.
Most Glencoe projects we work on are part of larger renovations — primary suites being expanded, additions being built, historic homes being thoughtfully updated. The glass is one piece of a larger puzzle, and our job is to fit it perfectly.
Glencoe homeowners tend to invest in their homes for the long term. The glass choices reflect that — ½-inch low-iron, custom-finished hardware, multi-panel geometry where the layout calls for it.
A short tour of the pockets we work in most often.
Established residential with custom homes. Multi-panel frameless installs.
Larger estates. Steam enclosures and oversized walk-ins.
Mix of historic and updated. Frameless walk-ins and pivot doors.
Older character homes. Inline panels and careful preservation work.

The projects below are representative of the work we do in Glencoe. For current photos and references in your specific neighborhood, call us at 224-427-9199 and we'll share a current portfolio at your estimate.
A custom home had a primary bath with a designer-specified bronze-tinted glass for the shower enclosure. ⅜″ custom-tinted frameless hinged door with 36″ inline panel, hardware in oil-rubbed bronze.
A custom home had a dedicated steam shower with built-in bench. Full ½″ low-iron frameless steam-rated enclosure with sealed transom and continuous gasketing.
A 1920s home had its primary bath rebuilt with a 60×36 walk-in shower preserving the original window placement. ⅜″ frameless hinged door with 24″ inline panel, polished-nickel hardware.
Specialty tinted glass (bronze, gray, smoked) shows up more often in Glencoe than anywhere else in our service area. ½-inch low-iron remains the default for clear-glass installs. Custom-finished hardware in oil-rubbed bronze, satin brass, and polished nickel.
