When people talk about renovation, they usually think first of tiling, paint, electricians and plumbers. The glazier rarely comes top of the list. And yet, in a renovated flat, there is glass in almost every room. Here is everything Vitralux can do to transform your home in Luxembourg.

The bathroom — the room where a glazier makes the difference

  • Shower screen for a walk-in, sliding or hinged enclosure: 8 or 10 mm toughened glass, made to the millimetre
  • Made-to-measure mirror: plain, LED with backlighting and a demisting pad, or tinted for a designer effect
  • Glass shelf for the shower niche or above the radiator
  • Lacquered glass splashback or satin-finished glass behind the bath or the basin

The kitchen — practical and good-looking at once

  • Lacquered glass splashback in any RAL colour: no joints, easy to wipe down, heat-resistant
  • Glass shelves for open shelving
  • A glazed door to separate kitchen and living room without losing the light

The living room and the hallway

  • A large-format mirror in the hallway to open the space up visually
  • A glass partition to create a study or a reading corner without closing the room off
  • A sliding glass door between living room and corridor
  • A Crittall-style internal screen to divide two spaces

Stairs and mezzanines

  • A laminated glass balustrade along the staircase: visual lightness and certified safety
  • A glass balustrade for the mezzanine
  • Structural glass floor panels upstairs, to let the light through

Glass is one of the few materials that makes a space look larger, lets the light through and adds a touch of modernity without ever dating. In a Luxembourg flat, where the rooms are often small, that is a real advantage.
