ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - June 12, 2026 - Tim's Glass and Mirror, a second-generation family-owned glass shop based in Arlington Heights, Ill., is highlighting the breadth of its custom fabrication and installation work for homeowners and businesses throughout the Chicagoland area. From its Arthur Avenue location, the company handles frameless shower enclosures, custom mirrors, glass railings, wine cellar enclosures, glass wall partitions, storefront systems and insulated window replacement.
Frameless shower enclosures remain a flagship category. Each project begins with an in-home consultation where exact measurements are taken and layout reviewed, followed by a walk-through of glass thickness, hardware finishes, privacy options and door type. Standard offerings include 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass, low-iron Starphire ultra-clear glass for projects requiring minimal color distortion, and ClearShield protective coatings that resist water spots, fingerprints and staining. Hardware finishes range from polished chrome and brushed nickel to oil-rubbed bronze and matte black. The result is a clean, open-feeling shower that reads as part of the bathroom rather than a separate fixture, with fewer channels to clean and a finish built to hold its clarity over time.
Custom mirror work, glass panel railings and wine cellar enclosures round out the residential side. Mirror projects span vanity, full-length and mirrored-wall applications in custom shapes, sizes and edge profiles. Glass railings deliver unobstructed sight lines on staircases, decks and balconies, while glass wine cellars provide clear visibility and temperature stability for collectors and hospitality spaces.
For projects involving custom glass installation in Greater Chicago, frameless shower jobs typically run 7 to 10 business days from measurement to installation, with the install itself usually completed within a few hours. Photo, video and design renderings are used during the consultation phase so clients can visualize configurations before fabrication begins.
Tim Spath, representative for the company, said the firm's approach is rooted in matching the product to the space rather than fitting clients to a stock catalog. "Every shower, mirror wall and storefront has its own measurements, sight lines and hardware considerations," Spath said. "Our job is to listen to what the client wants, present the options clearly, and produce a piece of glass that fits the space exactly the way it should."
Commercial offerings include storefront glass installation and repair, framed and frameless office partitions, curtain walls, display glass and laminated safety glass. The shop also installs insulated and laminated glass options that help regulate temperature, block UV and reduce noise, supporting energy performance for both homes and businesses.
The company functions as glass repair experts as well, handling cracked window panes, foggy insulated units, chipped mirrors and damaged shower enclosures. Repair work includes single-pane replacement, resealing of failing insulated units and emergency response on storefront damage when inventory allows.
