Twenty-eight years of glass for homes, buildings and other people's product lines, across commercial, residential, manufacturer and glass-shop markets.
A custom glass wine room built to the homeowner's specifications. Insulated glass helps hold the room's temperature while keeping the collection on display. We fabricated the frame in our Burnsville shop, and our own crew installed it. One shop handled it from measure to final install. Built in Hopkins, MN, with Zehnder Homes.
A full-height antique mirror backsplash behind a home bar. The mirror's mottled silvering softens the reflection, so the bottles and lighting glow instead of glare. Each panel was made and fit in our shop. Installed in Minneapolis with Partners 4 Design.
We were proud to work with Empirehouse on this project. The scope included ½″ low-iron glass back-painted in the customer's custom white selection, plus two curved pieces finished to match.
That last part is the hard part. Back-painting and bending fight each other, and low-iron white is the one finish that shows every flaw in either process. Getting the curved pieces to match the flat panels in color and in gloss, across a curve, is the whole job.
Wall paint, next room
Colors sampled from the photos. The glass reads a shade deeper because you see the paint through the glass.
The homeowners wanted their shower to carry the color of the room beside it. We matched the back-paint on the shower walls to that room's wall paint, so from the doorway the two read as one color.
Back-painted glass gives a shower a single seamless wall with no grout lines to clean. The color is on the back of the glass, so it stays protected, and it can be matched to almost any paint chip you bring us.
Work in these categories has gone out for commercial, residential, manufacturer and glass-shop customers. Photography and named projects to be added by the shop.
Structurally bonded glass boxes, cubes and display cases, where the joint has to disappear and tolerance has to hold across an entire set. Low-iron glass where clarity matters on thick sections.
Applied film, printed graphics and privacy banding on architectural glass. Branding and pattern that has to survive a public interior without looking like it was chosen for durability.
Curtain wall fabrication and field installation for Twin Cities commercial work, from shop drawings through punch list, with our own crews setting the glass.
Office fronts, conference room walls and glass door systems that keep the daylight in an open plan and still close off a room when one is needed.
Color-matched back-painted glass for wall panels, table tops and marker boards that don't ghost. Produced for glass shops and manufacturers to ship under their own name.
A frameless enclosure with an etched privacy panel done in our own shop. Privacy where it's wanted, daylight everywhere else. The everyday work, done properly.
Five permanent surface-1 etch patterns developed in-house and submitted to the American Bird Conservancy. All five approved in August 2026, at Threat Factors™ of 20 and 25.
Space reserved for real client work: name, location, scope and photography. This is the page that wins commercial bids.
Bent and back-painted at the same time. Bonded so the corner disappears. Etched to a geometry a conservation body would sign off on. If a piece of glass is the reason a design isn't working, that's the call we want.
