Back to School with Plymouth Man: Why Professional Glass Installation Matters

As students across Connecticut head back to school, Plymouth Man is flying in with a reminder: learning never stops—and that includes learning about how to care for your home! This month, we’re sharing a behind-the-scenes look at one of our recent shower door installations and why choosing professional glass installation makes all the difference.

🔍 Looking Beyond the Glass – Vol. 2: Transforming a Bathroom

Ever wonder what it takes to transform a bathroom in just a few hours? We recently filmed a time-lapse video of a shower door installation, and the results are incredible. What looks like a simple upgrade can completely refresh a space, bringing in light, style, and functionality.

🔎 Why Professional Installation Matters

Glass projects aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re about safety, precision, and longevity. Here’s why calling in the professionals is worth it:

1. Safety First – Glass can be heavy and fragile. A professional installer ensures it’s secured properly to reduce the risk of accidents.

2. Precision Fit – Every home is unique. Professionals measure, level, and align so your glass fits seamlessly—no leaks, gaps, or drafts.

3. Lasting Quality – Done right the first time, your new glass features will last longer and maintain their polished look.

🌟 Community Connection

Just like students starting a new school year, our projects start with preparation, attention to detail, and the goal of long-term success. Whether it’s a shower door, a mirror, or a custom glass project, we’re proud to help local families keep their homes safe, functional, and beautiful.

A Heart for Dogs, Veterans & Community: Nikki Maloid on iHeartRadio

At Plymouth Glass & Mirror, we’re more than just glass. Through community outreach like our dog rescue and veteran support efforts, we’re reflecting kindness, framing purpose, and opening windows to real change in Connecticut.

In our first installment of Looking Beyond the Glass, we’re shining a light on our President, Nikki Maloid, and her recent iHeartRadio interview with Alison Demers on Community Access. The conversation gave an honest, emotional look at the inspiration behind our upcoming Dog Star Rescue Adoption Event and why giving back — especially to our veterans — is personal to her.

🎧 Listen to the full interview here:

---

💙 “It’s something that can really change someone’s life.”

During the interview, Nikki shared how Plymouth Glass’s commitment to service dogs and veteran support started — and how it’s grown.

“Last year, we sponsored one service dog for a veteran. This year, we’re proud to sponsor a full year of veterinary care for 10 veteran service dogs — a cause that touches so many lives beyond just the person receiving the help.”

Service dogs help with mobility, emotional regulation, PTSD support, and simple companionship. As Nikki explained, the need is often invisible, which is why awareness matters just as much as action.

“We forget that whole mental health piece. It’s not always just about the medical. There’s so much more behind the scenes.”

---

🐾 How Plymouth Glass Turns Loss Into Purpose Through Dog Rescue and Veteran Support

What made this interview especially moving was how candid Nikki was about the recent loss of her family dog of nearly 13 years — and how this event is helping her heal.

“It was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through… so when this event came about, I wondered if I’d be too emotional. But instead, it’s brought me comfort — knowing that others will find that same companionship and unconditional love.”

That kind of vulnerability is what drives the heart of this event — and it’s why our team is all in. From office staff to techs in the field, everyone’s excited to be part of something bigger than just our daily work.

“Our employees are calling their spouses saying, ‘Hey, just a heads up… we might be bringing home a dog this weekend!’”

🙌 Looking Ahead Through Glass for Good

Nikki also highlighted our growing Glass for Good campaign — an outreach program designed to give back to causes across Connecticut. Whether it’s supporting rescue animals, sponsoring local veterans, or helping underfunded community projects, our mission is clear:

“If there’s something near and dear to your heart, let us know. We’re always open to getting involved — because this community raised us.”

---
