FAQs

Yes, you can.  The vast majority of our designs were born out of a collaboration between our clients imagination, and our principal owner and artist, Chauncey Gannett.  A concept of what’s envisioned is conveyed thru written descriptions and visual references like photos or other art, and from that, a scale drawing is created for approval.   The scale drawing is created upon receipt of a 50% deposit to place the order, or an art retainer fee.  The art retainer fee is 10% of the total price of the product, or a minimum of $350, whichever is greater.

About our Effects

Anywhere from 3-9 weeks.  Our wide range of effects and pricing, means a wide range of turn-around.  It also depends on the design, whether you go with a stock design, or we’re creating a brand new one.

We will deliver and install within a 30 mile radius of our Studio in Palm Desert, California.  Our in-house team delivers and installs the following products:

• Door Glass Inserts
• Windows
• Tables
• Shower Panels
• Mirrors (small to med)

In order to meet our sales volume and avoid longer wait times, we out-source the installation of our remaining products to Midwest Glass, a locally owned and operated, highly reputable glass company we’ve known and worked with for many, many years.  We act as liaison, but they will communicate direct, to set up appointments both for measuring and to deliver & installation when your glass is finished.

• Glass Barn Doors
• Shower Doors
• Shower Enclosures
• Frameless Doors
• Shelves
• Mirrors (large)

YES! That’s why it’s called “Art With a Function” and one of the great advantages and uses of etching and/or carving the glass!

The different glass finishes we offer provide varied levels of privacy, as well as the sandblast effect itself.  Find privacy level info. inside each product listing.

We create our designs thru sandblast etching and carving.   Using sand as their sculpting tool, our artists etch, cut and carve the design into the glass.  The white surface obscures the glass, diffuses light and eliminates glare – creating privacy without blocking light, thru a beautiful Work of Art Captured in Glass!  See our Effects.

For framed doors and inserts, purchases are made online.  Soon in 2020, other products will too!  For now, our shop experience will prompt you to submit a price request, a Quote will be emailed, and you’ll be able to place your order thru the emailed Quote.
