Why Custom Shower Doors are Better

Are you planning on replacing your shower door?

Here’s why custom doors are an overall smarter choice:

1. Precise Fit Matters

Bathrooms are rarely perfectly square. Walls might be slightly off, floors may slope, and openings are often unique. Off-the-shelf doors assume that your bathroom is a perfect square.

Custom doors, made to your exact specifications, eliminate gaps, improve water containment, and ensure long-lasting performance.

2. More Style & Design Choices

With custom options, you aren’t limited to generic sizes or styles. Homeowners can:

• Choose clear, frosted, tinted, or patterned glass
• Opt for frameless, semi-frameless, or framed designs
• Select from premium hardware finishes (such as matte black, brushed bronze, or chrome)
• Add personal touches to match your bathroom’s overall design

Off-the-shelf doors may offer a handful of finishes, but they don’t compare to the tailored look of a custom door.

3. Higher Quality Construction

Custom doors from a reputable manufacturer are built using:

• Thicker, tempered safety glass
• Heavy-duty hardware
• Precision engineering for long-term durability

In contrast, many cheap, off-the-shelf units use thinner glass and lighter hardware that can wear prematurely.

4. Professional Installation Ensures Success

One of the biggest pitfalls of off-the-shelf shower doors is installation. Even slight measurement errors or misaligned parts can lead to:

• Water leaks
• Door misalignment or sticking
• Hardware failure
• Shorter product life

Glass Trends Moving into 2026

What’s hot right now in the world of custom glass?

Looking back at 2025, we saw several standout glass and hardware trends take center stage — and we expect many of them to continue evolving in 2026.

Warm metallic finishes were everywhere in 2025, especially in showers. Gold and bronze hardware brought warmth, contrast, and a high-end feel to bathrooms, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. In 2026, we anticipate even more homeowners pairing these finishes with clean glass lines for a timeless yet modern look.

Fluted (or reeded) glass also surged in popularity last year, particularly in cabinet doors, accent walls, and room dividers. This textured glass offers privacy while still allowing light to flow — making it both functional and stylish. 

Another bold statement trend we expect to see more of in 2026 is black gridded glass in shower enclosures. This industrial-inspired look continues to appeal to homeowners seeking strong visual structure and contrast, especially in modern and transitional bathrooms.

Together, these trends highlight a growing desire for custom details, texture, and finishes that elevate everyday spaces.

Common Applications for Custom Mirrors

Did you know that you can use custom mirrors to enhance almost any space?

While bathrooms and full-length dressing mirrors are the most popular uses, custom mirrors are used in many other settings, including:

Home & Commercial Gyms

Floor-to-ceiling mirrors help monitor form, make small spaces feel larger, and create a clean, professional workout environment.

Bar Backsplashes

Mirrored backsplashes add sparkle, depth, and visual interest—perfect for home bars or commercial hospitality spaces.

Bedrooms, Closets & Entryways

Full-length mirrors add elegance to everyday routines.

Hallways & Living Spaces

Strategically placed mirrors brighten rooms by reflecting natural light.

Transform Your Space with a Custom Mirror

Whether you're completing your Novi bathroom remodel, upgrading your home gym, or enhancing a small space, we can help create and install the perfect mirror.

Contact Wolverine Glass today to discuss your custom mirror project and bring your vision to life.

Custom Mirrors Provide the Perfect Fit

Why are custom mirrors better than store-bought?

Most mass-produced mirrors come in a handful of standard dimensions—usually no more than a few feet wide. That works for quick solutions, but not for spaces where scale and proportion matter.

Custom mirrors allow you to:

Cover entire walls with seamless reflective surface

• Create expansive full-length dressing mirrors
• Fit mirrors into tight or unusually shaped areas
• Maximize both natural light and visual space

Whether you’re designing a home gym, brightening a hallway, or building a dressing area, a custom mirror gives you complete control over the look and layout.

Built Around Your Design Vision

Custom mirrors offer flexibility that pre-made options can’t match. With professional fabrication, you can choose:

• Exact dimensions that suit your room
• Specialty shapes—geometric, rounded, organic, or modern
• Cut-outs for outlets, lighting, and architectural features
• Different edge finishes (beveled, flat-polished, pencil-polished)
• Installation styles that match your design preferences

From sleek and minimalist to dramatic and artistic, customization ensures your mirror complements your space instead of settling for whatever fits.

Upgrading Your Office with Glass Walls, Part 2

In our last blog, we listed three ways that glass walls and partitions can upgrade your office. If you’re not convinced, here are three MORE ways that your workspace can benefit from custom glass!

Harnessing Natural Light

One of the most powerful benefits of glass walls is their ability to flood interiors with natural light. Proper placement can dramatically improve mood, reduce reliance on artificial lighting, and even enhance productivity.

Our team can help you plan your layout strategically to make the most of daylight — a simple design change that can make your office feel more spacious and energizing.

Defined Spaces Without Barriers

Glass walls allow you to separate spaces without making them feel disconnected. Whether you’re dividing meeting rooms, private offices, or collaborative zones, you’ll maintain an open sightline throughout the workplace. This transparency encourages teamwork while still providing a sense of personal space and security.

For customer-facing areas, glass partitions can also showcase your business’s professionalism — offering a glimpse of activity without creating noise or clutter.

HVAC and Climate Control

Because glass walls change airflow patterns, it’s important to make sure your HVAC system adapts accordingly. Proper vent placement, ductwork adjustments, or the addition of return air grilles can help maintain consistent temperatures and air quality in newly enclosed areas.

Our design and installation process always accounts for comfort, compliance, and performance — so your space looks great and functions even better.

Upgrading Your Office with Glass Walls, Part 1

Looking to update your office space?

Here are three ways that glass walls and partitions can majorly upgrade your workspace!

Aesthetic Integration

Your office should reflect your company’s personality and professionalism. Glass walls and doors can do just that — offering clean lines and a polished, modern look.

We’ll help you choose the right glass type, frame style, and finish to harmonize with your existing décor. Options include:

• Clear glass for an open, airy aesthetic
• Frosted or tinted glass for a softer, more subtle atmosphere
• Decorative or etched glass for a branded or textured appearance

These design choices ensure your new glass walls enhance, rather than overwhelm, your space’s visual balance.

Privacy Meets Transparency

Transparency promotes collaboration, but some degree of privacy is still essential. Frosted bands, decorative films, or patterned glass can provide privacy where it’s needed — without closing off your space.

To prevent the “fishbowl effect,” many businesses opt for frosted or textured glass panels that obscure views at eye level while maintaining light flow above and below. This approach keeps meetings and individual work areas comfortable while maintaining an open feel.

Safety, Strength, and Durability

Our commercial glass systems are built for everyday use. We use tempered or laminated safety glass, which is up to five times stronger than standard glass. In the rare event of breakage, it crumbles into small, rounded pieces rather than sharp shards — minimizing the risk of injury.

All hardware and fittings are commercial-grade, ensuring your glass walls and doors perform beautifully for years to come.
