Tim's Glass & Mirror in Arlington Heights Builds Custom Glass for Chicagoland Homes

A frameless shower enclosure, a floor-to-ceiling mirror wall, a glass wine cellar: these are the kinds of projects that change how a home looks and functions, and the details in the glass and hardware are what determine whether the result looks custom or catalog.Tim's Glass & Mirror, located in Arlington Heights and serving the Chicagoland area since 1993, handles residential and commercial glass work from on-site measurement through installation, with a 4.8-star rating across more than 347 reviews.

Custom Frameless Shower Doors & Enclosures

Custom frameless shower enclosures replace the thick aluminum frames of traditional shower doors with heavy-duty tempered glass and minimal hardware, which lets tile and stone read without interruption and allows natural light to move through the space. Every enclosure Tim's Glass & Mirror installs is measured on site to fit the actual opening, not a standard catalog dimension, which matters in older Chicagoland homes where shower openings are rarely perfectly square. Configuration options include hinged pivot doors, 90-degree corner enclosures, sliding bypass systems, splash panels, and neo-angle designs. Hardware is available in multiple finishes including matte black, polished chrome, and brushed nickel, and Tim's Glass & Mirror carries a 1-year warranty on labor.

Custom Mirrors

A custom-cut mirror does something a store-bought mirror cannot: it fits the exact dimensions of the space it's going into, which is the difference between a mirror that looks placed and one that looks designed. Tim's Glass & Mirror fabricates and installs custom mirrors in all shapes, sizes, and edge finishes, with polished edges for a clean contemporary look and beveled edges for a more defined profile. Common applications include vanity mirrors sized around specific light fixtures, full-length gym mirrors, and wall-to-wall bathroom or entryway installations where the goal is visual depth and light reflection. Every job starts with an on-site measurement visit before any glass is cut, which prevents the fitting problems that come from estimating off a photo or rough dimension. For high-humidity environments like bathrooms, Tim's Glass & Mirror can also apply protective treatments that guard against the edge darkening and corrosion that shows up over time in lower-quality installations.

Glass Wine Cellars

A glass wine cellar makes a collection visible without putting it on open shelves. The glass encloses and climate-separates the storage while keeping the bottles on display from the surrounding space. Tim's Glass & Mirror designs and installs custom glass wine room enclosures for residential clients, with the same measured-to-fit fabrication approach used for all their glass work. A well-executed glass wine room works equally well in a kitchen, dining room, or finished basement, functioning as both a storage system and a visual focal point. Tim's Glass & Mirror works through the design options with clients during a consultation, covering glass type, frame style, and hardware so the enclosure fits both the wine collection and the room it's going into. The showroom at 561 S. Arthur Ave. in Arlington Heights is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm.
