Tempered Glass, Modular Systems, and the Freedom of Bespoke
The production core of Glass 1989 is tempered glass: treated, shaped, and assembled in-house, it becomes the raw material for shower systems that adapt to any spatial geometry without sacrificing formal clarity. Profiles and enclosures are designed with modular system logic: every element — fixed panel, hinged door, sliding door, retractable wall — can be combined with others in virtually infinite configurations. Dimensions are defined by the client, not by production. This radically bespoke-oriented approach makes it possible to resolve bathrooms of any shape — from large-surface rooms in luxury residences to irregular spaces in historic building renovations — without forcing the existing geometry, but following it with solutions designed case by case. Profiles are available in stainless steel, brass, chrome, matt black, and customisable PVD finishes.
Hammam, Sauna, and Mini-Pools: Private Wellness
Glass 1989 is one of the few Italian manufacturers capable of offering a complete domestic wellness project — from the everyday shower to a private spa integrated into the home, all from a single supplier. Hammams (Turkish steam baths) are made to measure with ceramic, mosaic, or natural stone finishes, integrated steam generators, and chromotherapy; every environment is designed according to the dimensions of the available space and the intended number of users. Finnish saunas are available in spruce, cedar, or hemlock, with electric resistance or infrared heating depending on preference. Mini-pools, for indoor or outdoor use, complete the wellness catalogue with hydromassage and water-jet tub solutions, designed to integrate architecturally into the domestic environment without appearing as accessories added as an afterthought.

FAQ – Glass 1989: Your Questions, Our Answers
Does Glass 1989 produce only showers or does it cover the entire bathroom project?
Glass 1989 began as a specialist in tempered glass shower enclosures, but over the years it has extended its catalogue to cover the entire bathroom and wellness project: from walk-in shower systems to ultra-slim trays, from decorative wall panels to bathroom furniture with illuminated mirrors, and at the top of the catalogue, bespoke hammams, Finnish saunas, and mini-pools for indoor and outdoor use. The brand's strength lies in its ability to supply these elements as a coordinated system, with a single point of contact from the design phase through to delivery, guaranteeing aesthetic coherence across every component.
Is it possible to order a bespoke shower enclosure with non-standard dimensions?
Yes — this is precisely the starting point of Glass 1989's production philosophy. The brand's shower systems are designed with a modular logic that allows any geometry to be configured: niches, non-right-angle corners, irregular spaces inherited from renovations, large-surface rooms in luxury residences. The tempered glass panels are cut and assembled in-house at the Gariga di Podenzano plant (Piacenza), which allows exact dimensions to be defined based on the actual space measured on site. Profiles are available in stainless steel, chrome, matt black, and customisable PVD finishes.
What is the difference between a hammam and a sauna? Does Glass 1989 produce both?
The main difference is the type of heat: the Finnish sauna works with dry heat at high temperature (80–100°C, humidity 10–20%), while the hammam (Turkish bath) works with saturated steam at a lower temperature (40–50°C, humidity up to 100%). Glass 1989 produces both to measure: saunas are made in Nordic spruce, Canadian cedar, or hemlock with electric resistance or infrared heating; hammams are built with ceramic, mosaic, or natural stone finishes, an integrated steam generator with digital control, and optional chromotherapy and aromatherapy.
Does Glass 1989 also work on contract projects for hotels and spas?
Yes — the Glass 1989 catalogue is designed to meet the needs of both high-end residential projects and contract projects for hotels, resorts, wellness centres, and private spas. For contract projects, Glass 1989 offers a dedicated technical design service, including site survey, measurement survey, layout development, and coordination with other site contractors.
