"Swan Song" Glass Panel Interior Partition
Glass Panels are a fantastic way to separate an area. Depending upon type of design applied to the glass, the panels can create privacy where needed, or simply add a beautiful custom look suitable to the decor where an open feel is desired, but privacy may not necessarily be needed.
"Galloping in the Vistas"
Different types of custom glass panels etched and carved by Sans Soucie would include free standing dividers, enclosed bath and shower partitions, glass handrails, narrow fixed partitions, accent glass and pony wall dividers. All of these are available in any custom size or configuration.
In some areas, the only thing that’s needed is a glass panel separation, to create sound privacy in areas such as an office or conference area. In those instances, simple etched or frosted bands with corporate logos are often applied to wall and partition glass, bringing in the company brand. Any size logo can be applied to any height level on the glass.

For other areas where visual privacy is needed, we’ll apply frosting or glass etching over the majority of the glass surface. Again, any custom look is possible, so there’s no limit to what can be featured.
Another fantastic custom element for glass panels are chiseled irregular edges. The chiseling can follow the design elements, such as mountain peaks, as seen on the beautiful Mountains Panels installed inside the Companion Animal Clinic of Yucca Valley, California this past year.

Many times the irregular edge will just flow across the top and coordinate nicely with the design, like the Ocean Wave panels we did for the Marriott’s Long Beach Renaissance Hotel in Long Beach, California.
Glass panels with abstract formation designs add a stunning look and are a great alternatives for things like shower and bath dividers.
Come visit our Glass Panels Gallery and view dozens of pieces like these! Sans Soucie can custom design a glass panel for your home or business that will be a “one of a kind: YOURS!”

Over the last 33 years, Sans Soucie has created incredible custom designed etched and carved glass frameless shower doors and shower enclosures inside hundreds of luxury, custom homes.
"Arctic" shower enclosure, features heavy glass overlay pieces, chiseled edges and a stunning random texture. The shower is being illuminated by the window on the opposite wall. Commissioned by Susan Schreiber Interior Designs.
Our etched and carved glass designs on shower glass instantly turn an ordinary, plain glass shower enclosure into an illuminated work of art that you will enjoy not only each time you step into the shower, but every time you enter your bathroom!
"Rugged Retreat" gives the illusion of multi-layers with waves crossing over one another. Note the "matching mirror" inside the shower, the edges are chiseled and waves are etched and 3-dimenssionally sculpture carved.
As with all our products, the design possibilities are limitless and so are the applications. One design option is to merely “trim” or “frame” your shower glass. Adding a beautiful etched and/or carved and painted border, for example, adds a beautiful custom touch. We can also target certain areas of your shower glass where you may want to create privacy or obscurity, such as the center sections, or lower section, running up into the center, while leaving the top area clear, allows for visibility in to the shower (allowing you to admire your tile work), which at the same will allow you to “see out” from inside the shower, creating a completely open feel as you stand in your shower.
"Cyclone" shower door with narrow side panel. Center section is 3-dimensionally carved and painted, side waves are carved and shaded.
Adding one of our custom edges to the exposed, top edges of the glass is a fantastic application as well. Sans Soucie creates a large number of custom edge designs, ranging from a simple chiseled edge, to waves and various textures.
"Expanding Bands", a simple design targeting the center sections, for an added touch and a bit of obscurity.
Visit our Custom Shower Enclosure gallery to see dozens of sample showers of all shapes, sizes and configurations. We also create free standing dividers for showers and baths.
