A frameless shower enclosure, a floor-to-ceiling mirror wall, a glass wine cellar: these are the kinds of projects that change how a home looks and functions, and the details in the glass and hardware are what determine whether the result looks custom or catalog.<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tim's+Glass+and+Mirror+Company/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x3ea6193954b9fa2c?sa=X&amp;ved=1t:2428&amp;hl=en&amp;ictx=111" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror</a>, located in Arlington Heights and serving the Chicagoland area since 1993, handles residential and commercial glass work from on-site measurement through installation, with a 4.8-star rating across more than 347 reviews.

Every enclosure&nbsp;<a href="https://timsglassandmirror.com/?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=posts" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror</a> installs is measured on site to fit the actual opening, not a standard catalog dimension, which matters in older Chicagoland homes where shower openings are rarely perfectly square. Configuration options include hinged pivot doors, 90-degree corner enclosures, sliding bypass systems, splash panels, and neo-angle designs. Hardware is available in multiple finishes including matte black, polished chrome, and brushed nickel, and Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror carries a 1-year warranty on labor.

A&nbsp;<a href="https://timsglassandmirror.com/services/custom-mirrors/?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=posts" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">custom-cut mirror</a> does something a store-bought mirror cannot: it fits the exact dimensions of the space it's going into, which is the difference between a mirror that looks placed and one that looks designed.&nbsp;<a href="https://patch.com/users/tims-glass-and-mirror/classifieds" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror</a> fabricates and installs custom mirrors in all shapes, sizes, and edge finishes, with polished edges for a clean contemporary look and beveled edges for a more defined profile. Common applications include vanity mirrors sized around specific light fixtures, full-length gym mirrors, and wall-to-wall bathroom or entryway installations where the goal is visual depth and light reflection. Every job starts with an on-site measurement visit before any glass is cut, which prevents the fitting problems that come from estimating off a photo or rough dimension. For high-humidity environments like bathrooms, Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror can also apply protective treatments that guard against the edge darkening and corrosion that shows up over time in lower-quality installations.

A&nbsp;<a href="https://timsglassandmirror.com/services/glass-wine-cellars/?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=posts" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">glass wine cellar</a> makes a collection visible without putting it on open shelves. The glass encloses and climate-separates the storage while keeping the bottles on display from the surrounding space. Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror designs and installs custom glass wine room enclosures for residential clients, with the same measured-to-fit fabrication approach used for all their glass work. A well-executed glass wine room works equally well in a kitchen, dining room, or finished basement, functioning as both a storage system and a visual focal point. Tim's Glass &amp; Mirror works through the design options with clients during a&nbsp;<a href="https://timsglassandmirror.com/contact-us/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">consultation</a>, covering glass type, frame style, and hardware so the enclosure fits both the wine collection and the room it's going into. The showroom at 561 S. Arthur Ave. in Arlington Heights is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm.

Phase Three Brewing - Lake Zurich

Summer is officially in full swing, and we're kicking it off the right way. Join us Saturday, June 27th from 12 to 5pm for the very first Midsummer Artisan Market at Phase Three Brewing in Lake Zurich!
This is a sip-and-shop experience done right. We're talking original artwork, handmade jewelry, one-of-a-kind apparel, self care finds, tarot readings, human-grade treats, and so much more from a curated lineup of talented local artists and makers. Over 30 artists are planned for this event.
Whether you're hunting for the perfect gift, shopping for yourself (no judgment, highly encouraged), or just looking for a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, you're going to find something you love.
Phase Three's kitchen will be serving up their rotating menu, the beer is cold, and the vibe is relaxed. The market is both indoor and outdoor, free to attend, family friendly, and parking is easy and free in the area.
A quick note: we moved what was originally planned as a Spring Market into the summer, and honestly it feels right at home. We may also be adding some artists outside, so the footprint could grow. Either way, it's going to be a great afternoon.
Come out, explore, sip something delicious, and support the makers. We'll see you June 27th at Phase Three Brewing, 932 Donata Ct., Lake Zurich, IL.
