Ryan’s all-glass works with tabletop glass and other custom glass features to bring your home to life. Tabletop glass pieces are versatile and able to blend in with any room design.

Vanity Mirror Design Trends to Keep an Eye On

Posted on by jumpsix

Just as many people stay up-to-date on kitchen, bedroom, and living room design trends, homeowners should research current bathroom trends. In 2019, there are several different trends that you should keep your eye on, especially if you are building a new home or upgrading your current bathroom. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass focuses on vanity mirror design trends for 2019 that you might look into if you are renovating your bathroom.

Full-Length Bathroom Mirrors

One of the fastest-growing vanity mirror trends on the market today is the full-length bathroom mirror. Full-length vanity mirrors are perfect for bathrooms with multiple vanities because it is more aesthetically pleasing than two mirrors. If you have room on your wall for a full-length mirror, this can also save you money by only installing one large mirror rather than two smaller ones when you have multiple vanities. One step below a fully mirrored wall, a full-length mirror is a beautiful addition to any renovated or new bathroom.

Sleek Vanity Mirrors

Bathrooms and homes in general tap into minimalistic design trends in 2019 that carried over from 2018. For that reason, sleeker vanity mirrors are peaking in popularity and bringing a variety of options to the table. These mirrors typically take up less space than other, bigger mirror options and also provide that sleek, minimalistic style that so many homeowners are looking for. You can go with vanity mirrors that are sleek in stature or design, with frameless double mirrors a standard option in modern bathrooms.

Another design option for this style trend is a circle or custom cut shaped mirrors that offer the same sleek look in a different shape. Rather than ordinary rectangles or squares, go for vanity mirrors that have angled corners.

Antique Mirrors

While minimalism and modernism are growing bathroom design trends, antique mirrors are also increasing in popularity. Antique vanity mirrors can bring an elegant touch to your bathroom if you want a Victorian look in your bathroom. You can go with an antique mirror with a gold, silver, or bronze frame, depending on what color scheme you are working with.

What to Look for in a New Shower Enclosure

Posted on by jumpsix

If you want to add a new shower enclosure to your bathroom, there are a variety of options and factors to consider. You need to know what type of shower door you want, what style design you are looking for, and whether or not you want custom options. The factors to consider vary from aesthetic to practical considerations, and it’s vital to understand the details. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass evaluates what you should look for in a new shower enclosure.

Frameless Options

One popular bathroom design trend is the frameless shower enclosure. Frameless options, specifically with the Dublin frameless series from Ryan’s all-glass, offer flexibility with shape, size, and pattern, making it an extremely customizable shower design. If your bathroom doesn’t have typical dimensions or you’re simply looking for a unique shower door, our Dublin series is the perfect solution. Besides the customization options, frameless shower doors have a sleek and minimalistic look that gives your bathroom a more modern feel.

Opening Styles

Another factor to consider when choosing a shower enclosure is how the door will open. There are several ways a shower door can open, from swinging doors to sliding doors. Sliding shower doors are the most common. But when it comes to customized showers, swinging doors are becoming more popular. Sliding doors are typically the standard unless you are upgrading your bathroom. Ryan’s all-glass works with both sliding and swinging doors, giving you more flexibility when installing a new shower. When choosing the way your shower door opens, the dimensions and layout of your bathroom play a pivotal role. A sliding door might make more sense if a swinging door would hit a wall, sink, or toilet.

Tub or No Tub?

A wild card consideration for a new shower enclosure is whether or not to include a tub. Most showers that include a bathtub don’t typically have an enclosure. They merely utilize a curtain. If your enclosure will have a tub, you can eliminate most frameless options from consideration. However, you can still use a semi-frameless enclosure and even a sliding door if you don’t want a curtain alone.

Back painted glass provides a splash of color or unique patterns in your kitchen or bar area. At Ryan’s all-glass, our backsplashes come in a variety of different colors and patterns, making this an excellent option for new homes and kitchens. You can design a backsplash that is perfect for the kitchen in your new home, whether you want one that looks like red brick, a beautiful multicolored mosaic, or minimalist tile.

Cabinet Glass

For kitchens, bars, and display areas, cabinet glass plays a vital role in your storage space. There are various ways to utilize custom glass in these applications. If your new home will have a bar, glass cabinets can make for an eye-catching feature. For more traditional applications like kitchen cabinets and shelves, custom glass aligns those features with the overall style of your kitchen.

Tips for Living With Cabinet Glass Features

Posted on by jumpsix

Cabinet glass features are often great additions to kitchens or living rooms, but they need a bit more maintenance. For that reason, it’s important to know what you are getting into before investing in glass cabinets. Ryan’s custom cuts all types glass for cabinet doors, our most popular being clear and seedy glass. You also need to know how to best utilize your cabinets so that you aren’t wasting space. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass is going to take a look at some of the best tips for living with cabinet glass.

Clean Glass Regularly

When it comes to the aesthetic appeal of your cabinets, nothing is more important than regularly cleaning your cabinet glass. While glass cabinets look sleeker and, in most cases, outright better than plain wood cabinets, they also get dirtier quicker. If you want to avoid smudges or stains, you will need to clean regularly. Luckily, cleaning glass cabinets is pretty easy. All you need is the right cloth and glass cleaner. If you have a stain or a scratch, however, you will need more help.

Avoid Slamming Cabinets and Use Preventative Measures

One risk of cabinet glass is the potential for the glass to shatter. This threat presents itself in a number of ways. First, with kitchen cabinets, slamming cabinet doors shut can result in the glass shattering. This is the most common cause of cabinet glass shattering in the kitchen, but they can also shatter if they are opened into an object or person. For cabinet glass display cases, they are most typically damaged by impacts or excessive pressure placed on the pane.

You can use preventative measures to keep your glass from shattering. These include careful positioning of nearby furniture, and installing bumpers on the inside of your cabinets.

Store the Right Things in Your Cabinets

You shouldn’t store everything inside glass cabinets. For example, avoid storing heavy items that might tip over and break the glass, such as trophies or tools. The most common things stored in glass cabinets include dishes and glasses. Cabinet glass is also often used to store books and decorative items.

Why Custom Glass Is Perfect for Your Home

Posted on by jumpsix

If you own your home, there is a good chance that you will, at some point, sell it and move into another home. When it comes time to sell your home, you want it to have increased in value from when you first bought it. So, how can you accomplish this goal?

A great way to increase home value is by investing in renovations and additions to your home, which may be as extensive as a complete remodel or as simple as adding a custom glass feature. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass will look at why a custom glass piece is a good value for your home.

Custom Glass Looks Better

Plain and simple, custom glass pieces look better than ordinary glass pieces. The single biggest benefit of a custom piece is the aesthetic improvement that it will provide for your home. Regardless of the size or scope of the project, customizing the materials will improve the aesthetic appeal of the final results. Better yet, you can customize a wide variety of features, from small things like mirrors to large scale projects like cabinets or bars.

Custom Pieces Add Value

The best way to improve the value of your home is to update your design. This can be tricky because trends change often, so it’s important to keep those trends in mind when adding custom glass. The master bathroom and the kitchen are among the rooms that will have the biggest impact on a buyer being interested in your home, and custom glass features can be a great selling point. Pieces like custom shower doors, vanity mirrors, or cabinets will make your home stand out from the rest.

Custom Glass Makes Renovations Easier

One of the most difficult aspects of major renovations or updates is lining out the dimensions. When it comes to kitchens or bathrooms, you only have a certain amount of space. Particularly with bathrooms, you lose space when you are forced to use standardized glass features for your vanity or shower. However, with custom glass pieces, you have more flexibility and you can open up space more easily.

Contact Ryan’s all-glass for More Tips

If you are renovating or updating your home, custom glass features are always a great addition. For more information on what Ryan’s all-glass has to offer, get in touch with us at (513) 771-4440 or contact us online today.

How Is Back Painted Glass Made?

Posted on by jumpsix

Custom glass pieces are a great way to brighten up your kitchen and add to the value of your home. One of the better custom pieces available is back painted glass, or what is commonly known as a glass backsplash. Backsplashes, in general, aren’t always difficult to create because many of them are made out of materials like tile. However, a back painted glass backsplash is more difficult and requires help from professionals. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass will explain how back painted glass is made.

What Is Back Painted Glass?

Back painted glass, or backsplash, is glass that has been painted on the back side of the pane. This feature uses the reflective quality of glass, similar to mirrors. With a mirror, reflective metal is put behind the clear glass, which allows you to see your reflection. With backsplashes, the back side of the glass is painted so that the glass doesn’t lose its reflective translucence, but still appears to be a solid color or a variety of colors.

How Is Back Painted Glass Prepared?

A manufacturer will begin with a sheet of glass that has been cut to the specifications of the customer. From there, the glass will be cleaned of any debris and the front edges will be taped off to prevent debris from getting embedded in the paint. The glass is then laid flat on its face and the paint is applied to the backside in the specific pattern or design that is required.

After multiple coatings, the paint is allowed to dry. Often, the manufacturer will allow the piece to bake in an oven to ensure the best possible adhesion between the paint and the glass surface.

Can I Make A Custom Backsplash Myself?

In short, yes, you can make a custom backsplash yourself. However, can be very difficult to make professional-looking back painted glass yourself. The manufacturing process of back painted glass is quite complicated, and even if you are able to do it on your own, you are much more likely to come out with a high-quality piece if you allow a company like Ryan’s all-glass handle the production.

What Size Vanity Mirror Should You Buy?

Posted on by jumpsix

Large vanity mirror

The vanity mirror is an important design element during a redesign or renovation of your bathroom. Aside from your shower, the vanity will be the feature piece in your bathroom, so making the right decision is crucial. However, it can be difficult finding a mirror that is the right style and size for your bathroom. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass takes a look at how to choose the perfect vanity mirror size for your bathroom.

What Sizes Are There?

The size of your vanity mirror will come down to whether or not you will be looking for a custom mirror or a traditional mirror. If you are looking for a customized mirror, sizing will be much easier. You will just need to decide what style you are looking for and how much room you have and go from there. However, if you aren’t looking for a custom-sized mirror, you’ll have to look at the traditional sizes.

The most common vanity mirrors will have widths of 20-25 inches. Anything under 20 inches is fairly uncommon and typically used as shower or wall mirrors. While 20-25 inch mirrors are the most common, 25-35 inch vanity mirrors are a great choice as well.

Single Or Double Vanity?

The sizing of your vanity mirrors will depend primarily on this question. If you just have one person regularly occupying your bathroom, there is no real need for double vanities. However, if you have a spouse or significant other sharing your bathroom, the decision becomes more complicated. Going with a single mirror will mean you’ll need a larger mirror, such as a wall-to-wall mirror. If you decide to go with double vanity mirrors, you can choose smaller sizes with more custom design features.

What Style Do You Want?

Style will also play a big factor in your sizing decision. One of the biggest design decisions you’ll make is one we have already talked about. Do you want single or double mirrors? If you go with double, you’ll have more flexibility stylistically. You will have other factors to consider as well, such as framed or frameless mirrors, mounting options, and mirror shapes.

Design Tips for Your Shower Doors

Posted on by jumpsix

Glass shower door

Shower doors serve a very practical purpose for your bathroom, but they can be a valuable design element as well. Whether you are building a new home or simply renovating your bathroom, finding the right shower door can make a huge difference in the overall style of the space. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass will take a look at a few design tips for your shower doors as well as trends that dominate this area.

Keep Overall Design In Mind

The most common mistake with shower doors, especially when it comes to the design of your bathroom, is picking a door that doesn’t go with the overall style of the bathroom. A sleek, frameless shower enclosure is a fantastic aesthetic element for your bathroom. But if the overall look of your bathroom or home is more Victorian or vintage, a frameless shower door will conflict with that overall design.

The important thing to do when picking out features like vanities or shower doors is to find pieces that are must-haves and design your bathroom around those. For instance, if you absolutely must-have a sleek, frameless shower, you need to design your bathroom around that.

Consider Frameless Shower Enclosures

If you are redesigning or renovating your bathroom, you should absolutely consider a frameless shower enclosure. They are on the cutting edge of design and are much easier to clean than regular shower doors. There isn’t a single design element that will be more beneficial to your bathroom design than a beautiful frameless shower enclosure. Much like a vanity, a frameless shower enclosure will be the centerpiece and set the tone of your bathroom.

Take Careful Measurements

Shower doors are one of the few things that people will elect to install themselves, so it’s important to take extra precautions with your measurements if you won’t have any professional help. The most common mistake made is not measuring correctly or failing to account for wall angles. If you have a full shower enclosure with walls, you must design a curb that allows your door to swing freely. If the angle of the door and the wall is not 90 degrees, it will be restricted.
