Drexler Glass Company

Drexler Glass Company dates itself to 1953. The Our Story page says that in 1953 Cecil J. Drexler designed a premium line of aluminium shower and tub enclosures, originally marketed and sold through Sears, built heavier than others on the market with larger rollers and reinforced hinges. Demand grew by word of mouth and Cecil expanded the product lines over the following decades, and the company became a glass supplier to builders and architects in Atlanta. As framed doors declined in popularity in the early 1980s, Cecil's son Joe Drexler experimented with frameless shower technology from Europe, and the company installed its first frameless shower door in 1984. The homepage describes the business as third-generation, family-owned and operated.

The Our Team page names David Drexler, Jeanne Lawrence, Brianna Espino, Michael McWilliams, Kevin Shockley, Jeremy Spence, Ethan Rardon and Ed Wallace. It gives no headcount for the company and no individual job titles in the page text. A separate FAQ page says the company trains in-house master installers.

Drexler Glass Company is a residential and commercial glass company in Atlanta, Georgia. Its website describes the business as "a full-scale residential and commercial glass provider serving Atlanta, Georgia, since 1953" and as "a third-generation, family-owned and operated business." The site says the company works with builders, architects and designers in metro Atlanta and on glass projects throughout the Southeast.

Residential services listed on the site are frameless glass shower doors and hardware, ultra clear and low-iron glass shower doors, shower glass protection, barn door and bypassing enclosures, shower and tub screens, heritage-grade premium metal framed shower doors, grid pattern glass shower enclosures, and aluminum framed glass shower doors. Other residential glass products listed are custom and antiqued mirrors, glass tabletops and shelves, glass railings, stairs and floors, cabinet, backpainted and patterned glass, glass entrances and partitions, clear antique glass, glass wine rooms and cellars, and insulated glass.

Drexler Glass Company publishes no prices, price lists, rates, fees or cost ranges anywhere on its website. Every pricing question is handled as a quote or estimate for the specific job, and the site sets out what it needs in order to price one.

For shower doors and enclosures, the process page says all the company needs to get started with options and pricing is the rough dimensions - width and height - of the shower space, and that a photo is also helpful for more complex configurations. Customers can call or email that information in. The online quote request form carries diagrams of multiple shower shapes; the customer enters the dimensions of the shower along with the colour of the plumbing hardware to be matched, and the company then contacts them with a price and sets up an on-site meeting. For all other glass needs, such as mirrors or tabletops, the page says only the rough measurements of the space are needed to price the job.

Drexler Glass Company is located at 1452 Northside Drive, Atlanta, GA 30318. That address appears in the footer of every page on the site, alongside the label "Atlanta Showroom Hours" and the hours "Monday - Friday 7:30am - 4:15pm". The showroom page repeats the same address and hours as "Monday-Friday: 7:30 a.m. - 4:15 p.m."

Two phone numbers are published. The number in the site header and footer, labelled Customer Service, is 404-351-4141; the showroom page also gives 404-351-4141 for booking a showroom visit. The Get a Quote page gives a different number, 404-594-5852, for callers who want to talk a project through before submitting a form, and says the company is available Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:15 pm.

Frameless glass shower doors are the service Drexler Glass Company gives the most detail to. The page says each enclosure is designed to fit the customer's space, style and daily use rather than sold as a stock size, and that the company evaluates the layout on site before recommending a configuration.

Glass styles listed are crystal-clear glass and frosted, patterned or tinted glass for added privacy. Custom configurations listed are multi-panel enclosures, corner showers, tub and shower combinations, and space-maximizing layouts. The page states that frameless glass can be designed and installed over a tub as a tub/shower combination.

Drexler Glass Company offers a shower glass protection option called VectraShield. The product page describes it as a protective coating that is factory-applied to the surface of the glass in a controlled environment during manufacturing, so that it becomes part of the glass surface rather than a treatment applied on site that wears off and has to be reapplied.

The page says the coating repels water and oil, protecting against soap scum, body fats, dirt and minerals that would otherwise cause heavy staining. It can be applied to most smooth-surface glass, including annealed, tempered, sandblasted and acid-etched glass, and to both sides of the glass. The page states no harsh, toxic or abrasive cleaners are required, standard glass cleaners work, and the coating will not flake or peel and needs no revitalizer or top-up product.
