Custom Glass Shelves, Chicago IL
Transform Your Interior
with Custom Glass Shelves
IMAGO Glass Inc. makes custom glass shelves Chicago homeowners can count on to fit the first time: cut to your measurements, finished with the edge you pick, and installed securely in kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms across Chicagoland.
Glass shelves hold a reasonable amount of weight while taking up far less visual space than wood, so a small bathroom or a busy kitchen wall feels lighter. You choose the glass and the edge, and we shape the design around what each shelf will hold.
Every order for custom glass shelves Chicago clients place with us draws on more than 21 years of custom glass work, and it starts with a free onsite estimate, so you know the size, the finish, and the price before anything is cut.
Types of Glass Shelves
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass shelves provide an ideal mix of sturdiness and strength.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass makes the strongest shelves we offer.
Frosted Glass
Frosted glass provides a specific look that contrasts any item on top of it.
Beveled Edge
The edges have been cut and polished at a special size and angle, producing a framed look.
Pencil Polished Edge
They have a bit of a curve and have been ground smooth.
Flat Polished Edge
The edges are cut, and then they are flat polished, creating a sleek look.
Seamed Edge
The edges are lightly sanded to take off the sharpness, a simple finish for shelves inside a cabinet or niche.
Shelves that fit your nook, not a standard size
Ready-made glass shelves come in a handful of set lengths, and the niche in your shower wall, the alcove beside a fireplace, or the gap between kitchen cabinets rarely matches any of them. That is usually when people start asking where to get glass shelves made.
For custom glass shelves, Chicago homeowners can skip the guesswork with a tape measure. During the site visit, we measure the wall itself and note every detail the order needs, from depth to bracket position. Your shelves are then made to those numbers, so they arrive sized for the exact spot they are going into.
Worried a glass shelf won't hold your things
Picturing your good glassware or a row of perfume bottles on a sheet of glass can make anyone nervous. Glass shelves are strong enough for everyday items like porcelain and bathroom essentials, as long as the load is not overly heavy. Tempered glass gives you a strong, sturdy shelf, and laminated glass is the strongest option we offer.
Mounting matters as much as the glass. A properly mounted glass shelf is very secure, which is why we measure, make, and install your shelves ourselves. Tell us what each shelf will hold, and we match the glass to the job.
Not wanting shelves that look cheap or green at the edges
Ordinary clear glass has a slight green tint that shows most along the edge, and it gets stronger as the glass gets thicker. If you want shelves that look crisp against white tile or a painted wall, ask about low-iron glass. Glass makers such as Vitro describe how low-iron glass stays clear as thickness increases, even listing shelves among its uses.
The edge finish does the rest. A beveled or polished edge looks finished and intentional, while a frosted shelf gives a softer look that lets whatever sits on it stand out. Done right, custom glass shelves Chicago homeowners put in a kitchen or bath look like they were always there.
Glass that stays good-looking in a steamy bathroom
Bathrooms and kitchens are hard on shelving. Wood can swell and particleboard can sag when it gets wet, but glass will not warp from moisture and is difficult to scratch. Day to day, a soft cloth and glass cleaner take care of fingerprints, water spots, and dust.
That makes glass a natural fit next to a shower or under a vanity mirror. Many people plan both at once, and our custom mirrors are measured and made to fit the same way, so the glass in the room matches.
Custom glass shelves Chicago homeowners can price before anyone drills
Cost is the question that stops most projects, so here is what actually drives it: how complex the installation is, how long the job takes, any prep work like drilling or wall treatment, and the number and size of the shelves.
You can share photos or videos of your space first, so we understand what you want before we visit. Then, at the free onsite estimate, we measure and set a timeline for your order. You see the full price up front, and nothing is made until you agree to it.
