The Glass Lion

What we build

Custom art. Precise tile.

Simon Beames brings 26 years of hands-on experience as a tile artist and professional tile installer—from the waterproofing behind the wall to the last piece of hand-cut glass.

01

Shower + bathroom tile

Shower tile installation covers complete shower builds, walk-in shower tile, tub surrounds, bathroom floors, and feature walls. Simon's Schluter shower installation and leak-proof tile installation approach give a bathroom remodel Colorado Springs homeowners can live with for years.

02

Custom mosaic art

Custom mosaic art can be mountain landscape family heirloom art, kids art mosaic, or a one-off idea made permanent. As a tile artist, Simon builds mosaic wall art and a mosaic fireplace surround from hand-cut tile, glass, and iridescent mosaic tiles.

03

Backsplashes + kitchens

Kitchen backsplash installation can be quiet natural stone, a kitchen backsplash mosaic, or an intricate hand-cut pattern. For custom tile work Colorado Springs homeowners can trust during a Colorado Springs home renovation, the design consultation is part of the work.

A project with a point of view

Make it yours.

Some clients need a clean, durable surface. Others want family heirloom art that carries a story through the house. Simon makes room for both, whether the brief is a small kids art mosaic or full-scale mosaic wall art.

If you are looking for seasonal home decor in Colorado that can stay meaningful beyond one season, custom tile gives the idea a permanent home. That same balance of character and construction guides every Colorado Springs home renovation we take on.
