Libertyville is one of the more architecturally varied towns we work in — a walkable downtown surrounded by neighborhoods spanning from 1910s craftsman through 2010s new construction. We install glass into all of it, and the variety keeps the work interesting.
In one week we might install a single pivot panel in a 1914 craftsman near downtown, a frameless 90-degree return in a 1985 colonial out toward Copeland Manor, and a curbless walk-in in a 2019 custom build on Greentree. The skill set is the same; the conversations are completely different.
What makes Libertyville installs reliably good is that homeowners here tend to invest in their homes for the long term. The remodels are usually done thoughtfully, with quality tile and fixtures, and the glass we install is being asked to complement work that will last 20-30 years.
A short tour of the pockets we work in most often.
Older craftsman and Cape Cod homes. Inline panels and pivot doors in carefully preserved baths.
Established mid-century. Frameless walk-ins and 90-degree returns.
Larger custom homes. Steam enclosures and oversized walk-ins.
Mix of older and updated. Frameless hinged doors and pivot panels.
Newer single-family. Curbless layouts and transom panels.

A 1914 craftsman near Milwaukee Avenue had its only full bath gutted and rebuilt with period-appropriate hex floor and subway walls. Single ⅜″ pivot panel anchored to wall, aged-brass hardware to match the rest of the restoration.
A 1968 home off Greentree Parkway had its master tub pulled and the alcove rebuilt as a 60×36 curbed walk-in. ⅜″ frameless hinged door with 24″ fixed inline panel, brushed-nickel hardware.
A 2019 build off Copeland Drive had a primary suite designed around a 7×4 curbless wet room with a linear drain. ½″ low-iron frameless panel floor to ceiling, polished-chrome floor channel.
Because the housing stock is so varied, the trends are too. Aged brass is increasingly common on character remodels in older homes. Low-iron frameless glass is standard on premium new construction. Matte black remains popular on transitional remodels.
If you're choosing between frameless and semi-frameless, our guide covers the practical differences.
