Winnetka is one of those towns where the housing stock is almost uniformly distinguished — historic homes, careful remodels, and design briefs that take design seriously. The glass we install here is part of a long lineage of considered choices.
Winnetka homeowners don't generally chase trends. The glass we install here is meant to read as inevitable rather than designed — simple frameless geometry, classic hardware, low-iron glass that disappears into the space. The work is about restraint as much as execution.
Most of our Winnetka projects come through architects or designers working on larger renovations. We engage at the measurement stage, coordinate with the other trades, and install on schedule. The standards are high; the work is satisfying.
A short tour of the pockets we work in most often.
Historic homes near the lake. Frameless walk-ins and pivot doors in carefully preserved baths.
Established residential with character homes. Multi-panel frameless installs.
Larger estates. Steam enclosures, oversized walk-ins, custom transoms.
Mix of historic and updated. Frameless hinged doors with returns.
Premium custom housing. ½″ low-iron throughout.

The projects below are representative of the work we do in Winnetka. 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 1912 home near Sheridan Road had its primary bath rebuilt with a 60×42 walk-in shower preserving the original tile elsewhere. ⅜″ frameless hinged door with 36″ inline panel, polished-nickel hardware to match the original fixtures.
A custom home had a dedicated steam shower with 10-foot ceilings. Full ½″ low-iron frameless steam-rated enclosure with sealed transom and continuous gasketing.
A 1928 home had its primary bath rebuilt with a 7×5 shower zone. Three-panel ½″ low-iron frameless layout with satin-brass hardware to match the bathroom's broader restoration.
Winnetka installs prioritize quiet quality — ½-inch low-iron glass, classic hardware in polished nickel, polished chrome, or satin brass, and simple frameless geometry that defers to the rest of the bathroom. Steam enclosures are common in primary suites; custom transoms show up on tall-ceilinged installs.
