  • Do I need to clean the glass in my new shower enclosure?

    Yes, regular cleaning is recommended for your new shower enclosure. We advise our clients to use a squeegee after each use. This simple practice helps maintain the glass's pristine appearance, keeping it looking new for longer. Regular maintenance will extend the life and beauty of your shower enclosure.

  • Can you replace just the glass in my windows or do I need to replace the entire frame?

    In most cases, you do not need to replace the entire window frame. If your existing frame is structurally sound, we can replace just the broken or failed glass unit (dual-glazed/IGU replacement). This saves you significant money compared to full-frame window replacement while restoring clarity and insulation.
  • Why are my double-pane windows foggy and how can they be fixed?

    Foggy or hazy windows occur when the perimeter seal on a dual-glazed insulated glass unit fails, allowing moisture and air to leak between the glass panes. The most effective fix is replacing the sealed dual-glazed glass pack with a new energy-efficient unit while keeping your existing window frame intact.
  • What is the difference between framed and frameless shower enclosures?

    Framed shower enclosures use aluminum framing around all glass edges for structural support, making them a cost-effective option. Frameless shower enclosures use thicker heavy glass (typically 3/8" or 1/2" tempered glass) secured with heavy-duty hinges and minimal hardware, creating a modern, seamless look that is easy to clean and enhances bathroom resale value.
  • Do you offer custom-cut glass tabletops and wall mirrors?

    Yes. We specialize in custom glass fabrication for tabletop protective glass, desktop covers, polished glass shelving, full-wall mirrors, beveled vanity mirrors, and custom-cut mirrors tailored to your exact dimensions and bevel preferences.
  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes, RB Glass & Mirror, Inc. is a fully licensed and insured California contractor (CSLB Lic #462660).
  • How long does it take to order and install custom glass or dual-pane windows?

    Standard glass repairs and in-stock window screen replacements can often be completed quickly. Custom-fabricated glass—such as dual-glazed insulated units, custom mirrors, and heavy tempered shower enclosures—typically takes 1 to 2 weeks for fabrication and scheduling.
