Custom glass solutions are ideal when standard glass panels don’t fit your unique space or design vision. If your project requires non-standard dimensions, specialized glass types (such as tempered, laminated, or frosted), or specific framing/hardware options, custom glass ensures a perfect fit and high-quality result. Our team helps assess your needs during a consultation, discussing design goals, durability requirements, and functionality to determine whether a custom solution is the most practical and aesthetic choice.

Absolutely. At Fast Glass Solutions, we use tempered or laminated glass for all high-traffic applications. Tempered glass is heat-treated to be stronger and, if broken, shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, significantly reducing injury risk. Laminated glass consists of two glass layers bonded with a plastic interlayer, preventing separation upon breakage. Additionally, we ensure proper hardware and secure mounting, adhering to safety standards to provide durable installations in homes, offices, gyms, and commercial spaces.

Regular cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth and non-abrasive glass cleaner prevents buildup of dust, grime, and water spots. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners that can damage coatings or backing on mirrors. Hinges, tracks, and seals should be periodically checked for smooth operation and lubricated if needed, especially in humid areas like bathrooms. Fast Glass Solutions also offers guidance on hydrophobic treatments that prevent water buildup and services for glass recoating or hardware adjustments, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

Glass partitions offer far more than space division. They allow natural light to flow through the workspace, reducing the need for additional lighting and fostering a brighter, more inviting environment. They help create the illusion of openness, enhancing productivity and reducing feelings of confinement. Glass is also easy to clean and more sustainable than traditional walls. Plus, custom glass partitions can include frosted or etched designs to maintain privacy while supporting branding or decorative objectives.

Yes. We use moisture-resistant mirror backing that prevents degradation over time due to humidity. Standard mirrors are susceptible to black spots or corrosion along edges in damp environments, but our high-quality options include protective coatings and specialized sealants. Proper installation further ensures longevity by preventing moisture infiltration behind the mirror. Additionally, frameless designs help reduce crevices where water can accumulate, offering a cleaner appearance and easier maintenance, especially in places where hygiene is crucial.

Tempered glass is heat-treated to improve strength and shatters into small, blunt pieces for safety, making it ideal for shower doors or heavy-use partitions. Laminated glass consists of two glass layers with a plastic interlayer, which holds the glass together if broken, providing extra security, ideal for mirrors, table tops, or areas prone to impact. Our experts help you choose based on safety, aesthetics, and function, depending on whether you need impact resistance or controlled breakage.

Glass pantry or cabinet doors allow for easy visibility of contents, reducing the time spent searching for items and encouraging better organization. Clear glass shows the full interior, prompting users to keep items neat, while frosted or textured glass conceals contents but maintains light flow. Additionally, glass prevents dust buildup compared to open shelving. We advise on the best type of glass based on customer privacy and lighting preferences, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Yes, glass is recyclable and doesn’t emit harmful chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Our tempered and laminated glass is produced using sustainable practices and minimizes waste. We also offer energy-efficient solutions such as Low-E glass and LED backlit mirrors, reducing electricity consumption. Glass solutions also tend to last longer than other materials, which reduces replacement waste. We advise customers on eco-friendly designs that contribute to both style and sustainability.

Absolutely. Backlit mirrors are one of our popular solutions for enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. They provide even, shadow-free lighting ideal for grooming, makeup, or general ambiance. We use energy-efficient LED lighting embedded into the mirror frame, offering low power consumption and long lifespan. Installation involves precise wiring and expert mounting to ensure safety in humid environments. Our team recommends the best backlit designs based on space, power source location, and style preferences.
