(RIDGEFIELD, CT)- Most homeowners think that glass is limited to windows, mirrors and tabletops, but Ridgefield Glass knows that’s just the beginning of a crystal clear world!  The local custom glass retailer is on the cutting edge of new aesthetic glass design trends found in some of the area’s most prominent homes this season.

“Today, we’re finding that nearly every home accessory can be sculpted in glass,” said John Petchonka, co-owner of Ridgefield Glass.  “Glass accents and upgrades command your attention by creating a dramatic look, while offering sleek and sturdy functionality.”

New uses for glass can be found in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and even as a partition in any spacious room.

(RIDGEFIELD, CT) – They say that “Big Brother” is always watching, but Ridgefield Glass is ensuring your right to some alone time this year.  The local custom glass retailer is leading the newest innovation in glass design- privacy glass- which balances privacy with the unobstructed flow of light at the flick of a switch.

“Privacy glass removes the clutter of blinds, curtains and shades, while providing a sleek, modern look to any room of the house,” said John Petchonka, co-owner of Ridgefield Glass.  “We expect the demand to grow into the year as it’s a great way to preserve one’s confidentiality, without losing light.”  

Specifically, privacy glass transforms from clear to translucent glass through a liquid crystal sheet permanently bonded between two layers of glass.  In their non-energized state, the liquid crystal molecules disperse light.  When voltage is applied, however, these same molecules arrange themselves in a specific direction in a way that permits parallel light to pass through the glass while preventing others from seeing in the room.

Ridgefield Glass' most popular item is a frameless glass shower door ... It's more of an elegant look than a shower curtain, and it gives an open look that allows clients to enjoy their very expensive tile work.
