New Marlow Yacht Owners Enjoy Radiance of Illuminated Art Glass Etching

Jan 24, 2015 | Blog

Glass Etching With LED Lights By Peter Edward Jurgens, President & Glass Artist at Krystal Glass Company One of my favorite projects this year was a special commission to create a custom glass etching with LED lights for the master stateroom of Never Better, a beautiful brand new 2015 Marlow Explorer 66E-CB yacht. The yacht and the LED art glass made their debut at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in Florida. The art glass etching with LED lights is 59” x 25” and is installed just above the headboard. The artwork I created and coordinated with owners Steve and Patti is a custom underwater sea life scene on ultra clear glass framed in teak to coordinate with the interior. It is illuminated with color changing LED lights which are hidden in the frame and can be adjusted via a dimmer control, perfect for the master stateroom’s ambiance. The LED lighting can be set on any color or the controller can slowly rotate through them all. “Wow! It’s stunning,” Patti said when seeing the first pictures of the newly completed art glass. “I cannot believe how beautiful the glass looks. I can only imagine seeing it live and all lit up.” The etched glass with LD lights was shipped from Krystal Glass Company to Marlow Yachts in Snead Island, Florida and installed on Never Better by craftsmen at Marlow Yachts. I had the opportunity to meet Steve and Patti at the boat show, tour their new yacht and photograph the art glass in its final home. “It’s truly gorgeous! It truly is a work of art but I’m sure you hear...

10 Years of Trust & Referrals From Sea Coast Window & Door

Etched Glass Front Doors Imagine buying and renovating a home and your contractor tells you that you can’t have something that you really want. This is exactly what happened to Macuqui Robau-Garcia recently. Like most homeowners, she didn’t take no for an answer. “I had my heart set on etched glass front doors for a house I purchased in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My contractor tried to talk me out of it and told me it would cost thousands of dollars,” Macuqui said. “I asked Dennis Smith at Sea Coast Window & Door if he knew a glass etching company, and that’s how I found Krystal Glass Company.” Macuqui says she is very pleased with the on-site glass etching done for her by 30-year glass artist Peter Edward of Krystal Glass Company in Pompano Beach, Florida. The project might not have happened if she had not asked Dennis if he knew of a good glass etching company for her front door. “My door looks absolutely beautiful. It is exactly what I envisioned. Thank you Krystal Glass Company!” she said. Read Macuqui’s 5-Star Google review of Krystal Glass Company. For more than 10 years Dennis has put his trust in Krystal Glass Company by referring many customers just like Macuqui for projects such as beautiful custom designs on etched glass front doors and windows. We recently interviewed Dennis Smith, president of Sea Coast Window & Door in Pompano Beach, Florida, about the special relationship our two companies share. His company specializes in sales and installation of impact-resistant hurricane windows and doors in South Florida with a quick turnaround time of one week or...

Etched Glass Door Welcomes Florida Thanksgiving Guests

Nov 26, 2014 | Blog

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This week we completed this basic but elegant etched glass door for a Florida homeowner. The etched glass door and sidelight was completed just in time for their Thanksgiving guests to arrive. Etched glass doors, sidelights, transoms, and windows offer visual interest and privacy to the home’s interior. Glass artist Peter Edward has completed thousands of etched glass doors for homes in South Florida during his 30 year career of glass etching. This home is in Boynton Beach. We are South Florida’s original glass etching company for etched glass doors for homes. During the building boom that was happening during Peter Edward’s early years as a custom glass etching artist communities in Palm Beach County and Broward County Florida were going up by the dozens. He produced thousands of etched glass doors, etched windows, carved and etched mirrors, lighted glass, painted glass and etched glass shower enclosures. All were custom pieces indulging the homeowners with something beautiful and unique in otherwise uniformly built homes. Many homes in South Florida communities like Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach are built with glass entry doors. “For years our daily routine was to pickup glass entry doors in the morning, protect the opening with Visqueen, transform them into beautiful etched glass doors with custom designs and reinstall them the same day,” Peter Edward said. “We did so many etched glass doors that I eventually bought portable equipment and starting offering on-site glass etching at the customer’s location. That has been a big part of the business over the years,” he added. Peter Edward Jurgens, president of Krystal Glass Company in...
