Riverwoods is a wooded, low-density village where the homes are large, lots are substantial, and remodels are usually thoughtful additions to homes the owners plan to keep for the long term. The glass we install here is almost always frameless, almost always low-iron, and almost always part of a larger renovation.
Riverwoods residents tend to stay in their homes. The remodels reflect that — they're investments in spaces meant to be enjoyed for decades, not flipped in five years. The glass we install here is chosen with that mindset: ½-inch low-iron, classic geometry, hardware that won't date.
Most of our Riverwoods projects come through a designer or design-build firm. We engage at the measurement stage, coordinate with the rest of the trades, and install on a precise schedule. The work is steady and the standards are high.
A short tour of the pockets we work in most often.
Custom homes on wooded lots. Multi-panel frameless enclosures.
Larger estates. Steam enclosures and oversized walk-ins.
Mix of newer and established. Frameless walk-ins with returns.
Premium custom housing. Curbless layouts and transom panels.

A custom home off Saunders Road had a primary bath with a 7×4 shower zone and 10-foot ceilings. ½″ low-iron frameless hinged door with sealed transom panel above, 36″ inline panel. Hardware in satin nickel.
An estate had a dedicated steam shower with built-in bench. Full ½″ low-iron steam-rated frameless enclosure with continuous gasketing.
A 2020 build had a primary suite with a 6×5 curbless wet room and linear drain. Single ½″ low-iron floor-to-ceiling panel, no door.
Premium frameless defines the Riverwoods install — ½-inch low-iron, multi-panel geometry, custom-finished hardware. Curbless wet rooms are increasingly common in newer custom builds.
