Troy sits along the Great Miami River in Miami County, about 20 miles north of Dayton. It's a small city with a strong sense of place. The downtown square is lined with preserved storefronts and older commercial buildings. Residential streets carry a mix of Victorian-era homes, mid-century ranches, and newer builds on the north and west sides. Homeowners here take pride in their properties and expect quality work from the contractors they hire.
At Alluring Glass, we serve Troy and the rest of Miami County with custom glass work built to last. We handle shower doors, glass railings, wine cellars, mirrors, home glass, and commercial work. Our team measures on-site, builds to your exact specs, and installs with care.
Whether it's a bathroom remodel in an older home, a wine cellar addition, or a storefront on the downtown square, we bring the same care to every project.
Troy's older Victorian and craftsman-era homes were built long before modern bathroom design. Many primary bathrooms have been updated over the years. Odd dimensions, out-of-square walls, and tight layouts are common. A prefab shower kit won't solve those problems, but custom work will.
We build every shower enclosure to your exact measurements. The process starts with an on-site visit. We measure wall angles, floor level, tile thickness, and door swing before we cut a single piece of glass. Your panels are made to fit your opening just right.
We use 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass for frameless enclosures. Thicker glass carries its own weight without a metal frame. Your tile work and stone stay fully in view, and the enclosure looks clean and open.
Hardware finish is part of every conversation we have. We carry brushed nickel, matte black, polished chrome, and satin brass. Troy bathrooms tend toward transitional and traditional looks, so we help you match the hardware to your fixtures and tile before we build.
We install alcove showers, corner units, walk-in designs, neo-angle enclosures, and steam showers. Every project gets careful attention at the edges, seals, and hardware. We don't rush.
Our frameless shower doors come with solid warranty coverage. We stand behind the product and the install. If something isn't right after we leave, we come back and fix it.
Homes with open staircases, finished lower levels, and rear decks are good candidates for glass railings. A glass railing opens up a staircase, moves light between floors, and gives the space a clean, updated look. It does that without clashing with the details of an older home.
We install glass panel railing systems for indoor stairs, decks, balconies, and mezzanines. Our systems use tempered safety glass rated for load and impact. We work with standoff pin systems and base-shoe channel systems, based on your layout and structure.
Standoff pin systems mount the glass right to a post or wall. They give an open, floating look with little hardware in view. Base-shoe systems run a channel along the floor or stair. They hold the panels with no side hardware showing. Both meet Ohio building code for height and load.
Glass thickness for railings runs 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch. Span width and mounting method set the spec. We confirm it during the on-site visit.
Newer construction on the north and west sides often has open floor plans, with the staircase visible from the living area. Glass railings fit these spaces well. They keep the open feel and add a premium finish.
For outdoor decks and balconies, we use tempered glass with treated edges and weather-rated hardware. Southwest Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles and humidity put real stress on outdoor hardware, so we spec materials built to handle it.
Troy homeowners finishing basements or adding wine storage ask us about glass wine cellars often. A good glass wine cellar protects your collection and puts it on display at the same time. When the basement becomes a real living space, that adds genuine value.
We build custom glass wine cellars and glass-enclosed wine rooms to your specs. Our enclosures use thermally sealed glass to hold a steady inside climate. Getting the glass spec right is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
When visual clarity matters, we suggest low-iron glass. Standard clear glass has a green tint that affects how your collection reads through the panels. Low-iron glass keeps the view accurate and neutral.
For wine rooms that open onto a living area or finished basement, acid-etched and patterned glass are practical picks. Acid-etched glass softens the view through the panel and adds a subtle decorative touch. It works well when you want the cellar visible but not fully exposed.
We install full wine rooms with framed glass walls, sealed glass doors, and LED-lit displays. Custom-cut glass shelving mounts to brackets or standoffs. It holds a full collection without bowing or shifting over time.
We also cut and install floating glass shelves for home bars, display cases, kitchens, and bathrooms. Each shelf is cut to your size with a polished or beveled edge.
A well-placed custom mirror does practical work in a home. It reflects light, adds depth, and gives a room a more finished look.
We make and install custom mirrors for a range of uses. Bathroom vanity mirrors are our most common mirror request. We cut to your exact wall size and mount cleanly. LED-lit options are available when bathroom lighting is part of the plan.
Troy homeowners turning basements into home gyms ask us about full-wall mirrors regularly. A full-wall gym mirror does what it does in any pro facility. It lets you check your form, makes the space feel larger, and bounces light into a room that usually has no natural light.
We measure and cut gym mirrors to your exact wall size. Large panels need proper backing and precise mounting. A large mirror without enough support is a safety problem, so we handle the backing, hardware, and alignment on every large mirror job.
Vanity mirrors can run the full width of a double vanity, float above the counter with a set gap, or carry a beveled or framed edge. Older Victorian homes here often suit a more detailed mirror edge. We work through size and mounting with you before anything gets cut.
We also cut mirrors for entryways, accent walls, closets, and back-painted glass. Custom mirror work of any size is part of our service.
Not every glass project involves a major remodel. Some of our most useful work protects furniture and keeps windows working right.
Custom-cut glass table tops protect wood furniture without hiding the finish beneath. We cut tempered or standard glass for dining tables, coffee tables, desks, and console tables. A good overlay guards the surface from scratches, water rings, and daily wear. We polish all edges so the glass looks like part of the piece.
Fogged window glass is a frequent call here. Many of the city's older homes have insulated glass units put in during past remodels. When those units fail, moisture gets into the gap between panes. The glass fogs up and the window loses its insulating value.
We repair and replace failed IGUs without replacing the window frame. Saving the original wood-frame windows in an older home makes sense for the budget and the look. We swap the glass unit and leave the frame in place.
New IGUs use low-e coatings and argon or krypton gas to cut heat transfer. Troy sits in a climate zone with cold winters and humid summers. Energy-efficient glass makes a real difference in heating and cooling costs for older homes.
We also cut glass for patio doors, storm windows, and furniture. Call us before you commit to a full window replacement.
Victorian and craftsman-era homes here often have odd bathroom dimensions that call for custom work. We measure on-site and build frameless enclosures to your exact opening, so the fit is right no matter the layout.
Yes. We install glass panel railing systems for indoor stairs, decks, and balconies throughout the area. Newer open-plan homes on the north and west sides are a frequent spot for our railing work.
Low-iron glass gives you the clearest view of your collection, with no green tint. For wine rooms in finished basements that open onto entertainment spaces, acid-etched glass adds privacy without blocking light.
We do. We replace damaged storefront panels, install new all-glass entry systems, and respond to emergency board-up needs for businesses in and around the downtown square. Storefronts in a preserved commercial district like this one get the most from fast response and proper glazing.
