Hi, I’m Jeremy Anderson, owner and inspector here at Quality Home Solutions. For over 18 years, I’ve been helping homeowners across the Wasatch Front make their homes safer, more functional, and better looking. Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite ways to elevate a space: glasswork.
Now, when most people think of glass in their home, they picture windows or mirrors. But there’s so much more you can do with it. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients from Provo to Park City, turning regular rooms into light-filled, elegant spaces—all thanks to thoughtful glass installations.
In this post, I’ll walk you through the most popular types of glasswork we do, why they matter, how they help your home look and feel better, and how we approach each project with care and experience.
Why I Love Using Glass in Home Design
Let me start by saying this: glass isn’t just about looks—it’s about light, space, and mood. When done right, it adds that clean, open feel people are always chasing in modern homes.
Glass helps make small rooms feel bigger. It reflects natural light so rooms don’t feel dark or closed off. It also blends in beautifully with just about any design style, whether you like something sleek and modern or soft and classic.
And the best part? It's not just pretty—it’s practical too.
Over the years, I’ve seen homes go from dull to stunning just by adding a custom mirror, a glass railing, or a new shower enclosure. These changes might seem small, but the impact is huge.
Glass Railings: Safety Meets Sophistication
One of the top requests I get is for glass railings, and it’s easy to see why.
People love how they keep an open feel, especially around stairs, decks, or balconies. Unlike bulky wooden or metal railings, glass keeps your view wide and uninterrupted. If you have a nice view—say in Park City or anywhere along the Wasatch Front—you definitely don’t want to block it.
We use tempered safety glass that’s strong and up to code. Our railings aren’t just safe—they look clean, minimal, and stylish. We carefully mount them using modern hardware that blends right into the design.
One client in Bountiful had an old wood railing in their split-level entryway. We swapped it out for glass, and it completely changed the space. It looked brighter and felt bigger—almost like the whole house got a facelift without a full remodel.
Mirrored Walls: Reflect Light and Style
Another glass feature I love to install is mirrored walls. These aren’t the outdated ones you may remember from the '80s. We custom cut mirrors to fit your space and style.
Mirrors are perfect for tight spaces, dark corners, or anywhere you want to add depth. We’ve installed them in basements, home gyms, entryways, and even kitchens. They reflect both natural and artificial light, making your space look bigger and brighter without knocking down a single wall.
In a recent project in Salt Lake City, we installed a full mirrored wall in a basement workout room. Not only did it make the room look twice as big, but it gave the homeowner a clean space to stretch, lift weights, and stay motivated. Plus, the room just looked great—simple, clean, and functional.
Custom Glass Shower Enclosures: Spa-Like Bathroom Upgrades
If you’re thinking about remodeling your bathroom, don’t skip the shower glass. We build custom glass enclosures that make your bathroom feel like a high-end hotel.
You can choose from frameless, semi-frameless, or framed styles—whatever matches your vibe. We measure carefully so the fit is perfect and doesn’t leak. We also make sure the glass is safe, strong, and easy to clean.
Frameless glass, in particular, is a customer favorite. It gives your bathroom a modern, open look, especially when paired with stone or tile.
I once worked with a couple in Provo who had a small bathroom with a standard tub and curtain. After we installed a sleek frameless shower enclosure, the space felt twice as big. They told me they finally enjoyed getting ready in the morning.
Kitchen Glasswork: Small Touches, Big Impact
People don’t always think of glass in the kitchen, but it can be a game-changer. We’ve added glass cabinet doors to open up a tight kitchen, installed mirrored backsplashes for extra shine, and even designed custom shelves with glass panels.
Glass cabinet doors are one of my favorite suggestions because they let you showcase your favorite dishes or glassware. Plus, they add a subtle elegance without making the kitchen feel too busy.
One homeowner in Layton asked us to help with her small galley kitchen. We replaced some upper cabinet panels with frosted glass. It gave her kitchen a light, airy feel—without showing off the clutter. That little change made a big difference.
Home Gyms and Studios: Clear Mirrors for Real Results
If you’ve got a home gym or you’re thinking about building one, glass mirrors are a must. Not just for checking your form, but for adding energy and brightness to the space.
We custom-cut gym mirrors for walls big or small. Whether it’s a full wall in a workout room or a smaller piece for a yoga corner, the goal is to keep the space functional, open, and motivating.
One of my favorite projects was a small dance studio we did in Heber. The homeowner was a former ballerina who wanted a private place to practice. We installed floor-to-ceiling mirrors along one wall and a bar for stretching. She was thrilled, and honestly, so was I.
How Glass Can Help with Energy Efficiency
Besides being beautiful, glass can also help your home run more efficiently. For example, double-pane and insulated glass windows help keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer.
If your windows are old or drafty, replacing them with energy-efficient glass can lower your power bills and make your home more comfortable year-round. We install these kinds of glass upgrades with precision and care, making sure everything seals properly and fits your home’s needs.
We’ve helped homeowners across Utah save money and live more comfortably with glass improvements—and not just through big remodels. Sometimes a few smart upgrades go a long way.
What Makes Our Glass Installations Different
At Quality Home Solutions, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter work. Every glass installation is custom and carefully planned. We start with a conversation about what you need, what your space looks like, and what your style is.
I personally oversee many of our glass projects to make sure they’re done right the first time. Our team uses high-quality materials, follows local safety codes, and pays attention to the details.
We’re licensed, insured, and trusted by hundreds of homeowners across Salt Lake, Provo, Park City, and beyond. Our clients stick with us because we take pride in what we do—and because we actually listen.
Final Thoughts: Your Home Deserves the Light
If your home feels dark, dated, or just plain dull, glasswork could be the missing piece. Whether it’s a simple mirror, a full shower remodel, or a sleek new railing, I’ve seen firsthand how these upgrades bring homes to life.
They add brightness, beauty, and function—and they do it without the need for huge changes. When you work with a team that understands the craft, the results speak for themselves.
