Sugarloaf Country Club Whole-Home Glass Project
The first thing a visitor sees entering this Sugarloaf Country Club home is Apex's curved bronze-tinted glass railing, following the full length of the front-entrance staircase beneath a two-story ceiling. That curve set the tone for the rest of the home's glass scope.
Because the entrance staircase was fabricated first, its bronze finish became the reference point for the rest of the home's glass, carried through seven separate shower installations, custom mirrors throughout, and glass inserts built into an elevator shaft and interior doors. Each piece was measured against the same standard, so a renovation of this size and complexity reads as one coordinated project rather than a collection of separate jobs handled by different vendors, the same standard Apex brought to its $1.4 million Lawrenceville whole-home glass project.
Curved Bronze Glass Stair Railing
The staircase railing is a curved, bronze-tinted glass system running the full length of the entrance stair beneath the home's two-story ceiling. Bronze-tinted safety glass is a glass and design option, not a proprietary product, selected here to create a warmer, more visible architectural finish than standard clear glass. The final glass and mounting approach are always selected for the specific staircase, landing, or guardrail condition, as explained on our Railings & Balconies page.
Seven Custom Frameless Shower Enclosures
Seven separate shower installations were completed throughout the home as part of this renovation, each measured and fabricated to its own bathroom's exact layout and configuration.
Gallery note: Photos below show 3 of the 7 shower installations, featuring ultra-clear glass with extra-heavy, long glass panels.
Elevator-Shaft Glass, Mirrors & Interior Glass Details
The project also included custom glass inserts for an elevator shaft, custom mirrors throughout the home, and glass inserts built into interior doors, each coordinated to the same finish standard as the entrance staircase.
Glass Railings in Duluth
Depending on the project, a glass railing may use post-and-clamp hardware, face-mounted standoffs, top-mounted spigots, or a continuous base-shoe channel. The appropriate system depends on the structure, panel layout, stair or landing condition, intended use, exposure, and applicable project requirements. Exterior deck, porch, balcony, and pool-area glass systems can involve different mounting conditions, barrier requirements, and site considerations than interior stair railings. Apex reviews the actual project conditions before selecting the railing approach. Glass options include standard clear, low-iron/ultra-clear, and bronze-tinted glass, the same finish featured on the curved entrance staircase at Sugarloaf Country Club.
Frameless Showers in Duluth
Frameless shower enclosures are custom-measured for the exact opening. Glass selection may include clear, low-iron, or ultra-clear glass, depending on the project. Many shower configurations use 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered safety glass, with the final thickness determined by the panel size, layout, hardware, and system requirements. Protective glass treatments may also be available to help reduce water spotting and simplify routine cleaning.
Glass Partitions in Duluth
Apex also provides glass partitions for home offices, conference rooms, and commercial interiors in Duluth and Gwinnett County, including our recent commercial partition project in Alpharetta.
Custom Mirrors & Specialty Glass
Beyond railings, showers, and partitions, Apex fabricates custom mirrors and specialty glass applications, including glass inserts for doors and interior features, as demonstrated in the Sugarloaf Country Club project. Explore more of our work on the Mirrors & Specialty Glass page.
