When ordering a Venetian Cast Glass Pull, you need to make sure you
select all the appropriate options. Below is an overview of the points
you need to consider: Materials
All pulls are manufactured from 3/8” tempered glass.
Glass Color
- Colors: All pulls are available in all colors: Clear, Starphire
(Ultra-colorless), Bronze, Smoke (Gray), Azuria (Blue), Solexia
(Green), and Rosetta (Pink).
- Clear and Starphire Pulls: These work best when you're looking for a
subtle effect. It doesn't jump out at you like a blue dolphin or a
green palm tree, but it is very elegant. Starphire pulls can look like leaded crystal.
However, the
slight-green tint to clear glass shows off cast patterns better. If
you're casting a logo into glass, we strongly suggest using Clear
instead of Starphire.
- Cast on Cast: We recommend not putting a cast pull on a cast door.
The pull can get
lost or muddled.
 Hole Placement
The pulls are mounted with the textured side out standard. Many handles have
the holes centered or in a pattern that works for left and right
hinged doors. In the case of asymmetrical pulls like the Dolphin, you
need to specify if the door hinges are on the left or right side of
the door as you’re standing outside facing the enclosure. In some
cases, such as the Pineapple, you can select left or right, but you
can also select “Center” if you would like to have the holes in the
center of the pull - but be aware that this may affect the ability of
the pull to be retrofit to an existing door. The following pages show
pictures of pulls that have holes spaced at 6” on center.
Retrofit
If a pull is labeled as Retrofit, it will be able to fit onto an
existing door with 1/2” diameter holes spaced for 6” or 8” pulls, and
with holes centered 3” or more away from the door edge (see diagram at
right). When ordering a Retrofit pull, you must specify 6” or 8” on
center hole spacing.
Hardware
Price includes glass only. When ordering, be sure to also order
standoffs and a knob or pull for the inside. Standoffs, knobs & pulls
are available in Chrome, Gold, Brushed Nickel, and Oil Rubbed Bronze.
See the pricing pages for which cast glass pulls will accommodate a 6”
or 8”pull on the inside of the enclosure.
Custom & Oversize Pulls
Are you looking to have your logo cast as a pull? Would you like a
full-size, 6’ tall surfboard split in half to serve as pulls for your
double doors? How about a 7’ tall Lighthouse handle? Dare to imagine
your ultimate shower, and let our designers work with you to make your
dreams come true.
- Pull Minimum Size: At least one dimension of the pull must be 18" long.
Otherwise, it won't make it through the tempering oven.
- Pull Maximum Size: Up to about 108" in length. Beyond that and it won't fit in
the kilns.
Venetian Cast Glass as Accents
In addition to being a functional pull, our Venetian cast glass can
also be used as decorative accents to shower enclosures or other
applications. Anything from a school of salmon to a towel bar in the
shape of a hockey stick can be made just for you.
