Etched shower doors illuminated with LED lights make this new bathroom a special retreat for homeowners Mike and Betty. They turned what would have been boring shower glass into a work of art with the help of Glass Artist Peter Edward of Krystal Glass Company. Taking a shower or soaking in the tub in this new bathroom will never be the same since it was renovated to include a custom etched shower door and panel illuminated with LED lights. They selected custom marine art for the glass etching and multi-colored LED lights to illuminate their etched shower. Perhaps the best view of the etched shower will be while relaxing in the new soaker tub directly across from it. The custom glass etching was created to the exact specifications of the homeowners by Krystal Glass Company. The glass etching of the nautical underwater coral reef scene is created on a special type of low-iron shower glass hand carved and etched with beautiful detail. Etched Shower Doors Illuminated With LED lights The glass is illuminated with waterproof multi-colored LED lights for a safe and beautiful operation. The shower glass is 1/2″ thick and installed with oil rubbed bronze U-channel on the sides and bottom of the fixed panel to conceal the LED lights. The electrical connection provided by the homeowners came into the space from the ceiling and the wiring is run inside the walls and out of sight for a very clean look. The LED lights are powered by a small hand-held remote control that can display any color and provide several color changing options such as a slow fade mode. Illuminated glass is...

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...
