Statement Glass Features To Add The Wow Factor To Your Home

The inclusion of high quality glass features in your home adds to its functionality and aesthetic appeal, and can also increase its market value should you decide to sell it in the future. If you are considering making home improvements or designing from scratch, here are some key glass features that will really make a statement. 

Frameless glass shower enclosures

Bathrooms have transformed in recent years from largely functional spaces to sanctuaries where we restore our mind, body and soul. There is much more awareness of the impact of natural light and of creating a seamless sense of flow, which enhances feelings of tranquility and relaxation. 

A frameless glass shower enclosure helps to create an open and unobstructed space with its minimalist aesthetic. This can make smaller bathrooms appear larger, and will increase your overall enjoyment and satisfaction in day to day use. Add a touch of interest with details such as luxury shower door handles.

Glass balustrades

Glass balustrades for stairs and balconies help to instantly modernise any interior space with a sophisticated and contemporary style. They increase the flow of natural light around the home, which helps to improve our mood and sense of wellbeing, and can help to open up a more spacious feel in hallways and corridors. 

Glass balustrades are a natural fit for open-plan interiors, as they provide safety and segmentation with minimum visual disruption. They are also ideal for exterior use, for example on balconies, garden decking and patios, and around swimming pools. 

Opt for frameless balustrades for a completely uninterrupted view, or combine them with wooden or metal posts and rails for a combination of the traditional and modern. 

Mirror walls

Mirror walls are ideal for use in home gyms, as they provide a way for you to check your posture and alignment as you perform moves. This means that you will reduce your chances of sustaining an injury by using incorrect form, and will also be able to make more rapid progress as you can master techniques more easily and confidently. 

The mirror wall will also enhance the sense of space and depth in the room, making it more inviting and appealing for you to stick to a regular exercise routine. 

However, mirror walls do not need to be confined to exercise studios: they work well in any room where you want to create the illusion of more space and/or will find it useful to see your full-length appearance, such as bedrooms, dressing rooms, hallways or bathrooms. 

Glass wine cellars

A state-of-the-art glass wine cellar will allow you to store your wine collection in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, and remain protected from direct sunlight, noise and vibrations. This will mean that your wine will always be in premium condition, and the glass enclosures mean that you can always easily locate the bottle you are looking for.

A glass wine cellar is a luxurious and contemporary feature that can also boost your home’s value on the property market. 

Glass doors and partitions

Glass partitions and glass doors provide the perfect way to divide up space while maintaining a sense of openness and unity in open or broken-plan designs. For the ultimate combination of privacy and style, choose emerging smart glass technology, which allows you to switch between opaque, translucent and transparent glass at the touch of a button.

This feature is ideal for glass partitions, as well as bathroom shower screens and enclosures, glazed extensions such as conservatories or orangeries, and any windows that are overlooked from neighboring properties or passersby. It’s also sure to increase the value of your home thanks to the extra security and convenience.
