BEMA Announces 2008
Design Awards Winners
The Bath Enclosure Manufacturers
Association (BEMA) has
announced the winners of its
12 th Annual Design Awards Competition.
Travis Humphreys, with A&T
Glass & Window Corp. in Palm City,
Fla., and Bruce Downs of CB Showers
Inc. of San Carlos, Calif., received the
honors this year.
Humphreys won in the glass
under 3 ⁄8-inch category.
“This 5 ⁄16 clear glass shower enclosure
was custom cut ‘out of square’
to eliminate the need for U channel,”
Humphreys says of his winning
project. “We chose to use a header to
avoid using multiple clips, thus
achieving the ‘clean look’ the homeowner
desired. The seamless design
was enhanced with CRL satin nickel
hardware and water clear silicone.”
In the glass 3 ⁄8-inch and over category,
Downs is a repeat winner.
“The main requirement was the
ability to see the beautiful stonework,
and to have something unique and
different. We chose German antique
glass [a low-iron antique glass] to accomplish
this. ”
