When your need is for an Art Glass Shower Door Pull, we have many to choose from that will complement your bathroom decor. Collaborating with some of the world’s most acclaimed Studio Glass artists, we are able to create these solid glass shower door pulls that are truly museum quality and will become tomorrow’s heirlooms for generations to enjoy. Custom designs are welcomed to be commissioned.  

 

You have to have two handles on a door to hold them against each other. One handle installations are also available. A 1/4" hole thru the shower door is required. A stainless steel post passes thru it to join the two handles against the glass. There is a thin nylon film that goes between the glass and metal ends to cushion the handles against the glass. Our standard finishes for the metal ends are polished chrome and satin nickel. Other finishes are available. 

 

Construction of Shower Door Pulls

 All of our shower door pulls are made from solid glass created with the "Furnace Glass" method using "Batch" glass. Hundreds of different techniques, processes and artist's secrets are utilized in the creation of all the unique Art Glass designs we offer. Once the piece is created it is "Flame Polished" in the "Glory Hole" and is then put in an annealer to "Soak" until it slowly reaches room temperature. This annealing process relieves the stresses in the glass and hardens the piece against breakage. We then take each individual glass design and "Cold Work" them with diamond tooling to get them ready to assemble to the appropriate finished metal ends. All of the metal hardware is CNC machined to exacting tolerances from the highest quality 316 marine grade stainless steel and brass to make a perfect fit to the glass rod.  Once the ends and the glass are chemically cleaned for assembly we use a two part epoxy specially formulated for us for metal to glass adhesion to bond the pieces together. It takes 24 hours for this epoxy to cure which results in a super strong connection that we guarantee for life. Every glass design is artistically orientated in the top and bottom ends for the best viewing when installed. We go to great lengths to make sure that each piece of decorative hardware we create will be as special to you as it is to us making it.

Due to the nature of the hot glass medium we work in, replication of these designs is as close to the pictured product as technically possible. Color hues, position of the elements and size will vary from piece to piece. This variance is what makes each heirloom piece we create a totally unique work of art.
