Delray Beach, Palm Beach County

Frameless glass in Delray Beach

Delray splits between older beachside houses being renovated to the studs and newer construction west of Military Trail. The two need different glass decisions.

Old houses have out of plumb walls

Beachside Delray and the Lake Ida area carry a lot of 1950s and 1960s block construction. Those walls are rarely plumb, and a frameless panel scribed to a wall that leans half an inch over seven feet is a template job, not a stock size. We measure with a laser and cut to the opening we actually found.

On historic district properties the exterior envelope is regulated, which does not affect an interior shower enclosure but does affect glass railings and any exterior glass. If your project touches the outside, expect a review step and plan the schedule around it.

Salt air changes the hardware answer

Within a few blocks of the ocean, cheap plated hardware pits within a couple of seasons. On beachside Delray addresses we default to solid brass substrate hardware in the finish you want rather than plated zinc, and we say plainly which finishes hold up here and which ones do not.

Questions

Delray Beach specifics

Almost always. Either the panel gets scribed to the wall or a slim wall channel absorbs the variance. Which one we use depends on how much lean there is, and we decide it at the measure with a number, not a guess.
