Glass pavers are transforming architectural design, seamlessly merging aesthetics with functionality. These stylish yet practical building materials are increasingly popular in contemporary architecture thanks to their ability to bring natural light into spaces while maintaining structural integrity.
However, a key consideration when selecting glass pavers is safety—and that’s where Circle Redmont® shines. Known for producing high-quality, durable pavers with advanced safety capabilities, we prove that you don’t have to compromise on safety when emphasizing design.
If you’re considering glass pavers for your next project, this guide will walk you through five essential safety features of pavers. We’ll highlight how we go above and beyond in engineering them for strength, durability, and safety.
1. Engineered Strength and Durability
One of the key safety concerns with glass features in construction is ensuring sufficient strength to support heavy loads. Circle Redmont® addresses this with precision engineering designed to handle even the most demanding conditions.
- Premium Materials Built to Last: Our pavers are made using premium-grade materials specifically engineered for strength and longevity. Our pavers are rigorously tested to ensure they exceed industry standards.
- 150-lb Live Load Capacity: Each glass paver is designed to support a minimum of 150-lb live load capacity when combined with precast concrete panels, meaning they can withstand heavy foot traffic with ease and, also be used on higher load-bearing projects.
- Uniform Thickness for Enhanced Integrity: We ensure uniform thickness across all glass paver panels. Why is this important? Uneven glass and panels can create weak points that crack under pressure. By maintaining consistent thickness, our pavers achieve exceptional structural integrity and remain reliable over years of use.
These features make our pavers a top choice for architects and builders seeking durable yet stylish flooring solutions.
2. Slip-Resistant Surface Options
Safety doesn’t just apply to weight-bearing capabilities—it’s also about preventing accidents. Slip resistance is critical, especially for spaces that may encounter moisture or spills.
- Textured Surface Finishes: Circle Redmont® offers pavers with specially designed textured surface finishes. These finishes improve traction in both indoor and outdoor environments, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
- Safer in Wet or High-Moisture Areas: Whether used on outdoor walkways, around pools, or in high-traffic public spaces, textured glass pavers work to ensure safety even in slippery conditions. This makes them a go-to choice for architects designing spaces in climates prone to rain or snow.
With Circle Redmont’s slip-resistant options, your project doesn’t just look great—it’s safer for everyone who uses it.
3. Impact Resistance for High-Traffic Areas
Glass isn’t typically associated with durability, but Circle Redmont® flips that narrative on its head. Our pavers are specifically designed to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use in high-traffic areas.
- Crack and Break Resistance: Thanks to our innovative engineering, Circle Redmont’s glass pavers provide exceptional resistance to cracking or breaking. This durability ensures a safe walking surface even in busier areas like commercial shopping plazas, public rooftops, or public transport stations.
- Reinforced Precast Concrete Panels: For an added layer of protection, we pair our glass pavers with precast concrete panels. This reinforcement ensures that pavers remain intact even under consistent and heavy use, prolonging their lifespan while maintaining safety.
4. Enhanced Visibility and Lighting Features
Safety isn’t always just about strength. Sometimes improving visibility can make a major difference, particularly in areas that might be dimly lit.
- Natural Illumination and Trip Hazard Reduction: Circle Redmont’s glass pavers are designed to enhance natural illumination, not only making spaces brighter but also reducing potential trip hazards. The translucent properties of the glass and its integration into metal frameworks allow for high glass coverage without losing structural support. Whether used on rooftop decks or sidewalks, they bring both visibility and elegance to the design.
- Illuminated Pathways (Lumex® Pavers): Taking visibility to the next level, Circle Redmont® offers Lumex® Pavers, which feature built-in lighting mechanisms. These pavers can illuminate pathways or spaces from underneath, making them ideal for night use or dimly lit environments. Beyond safety, this innovation adds an eye-catching design element to any space.
5. Efficient Water Drainage
For outdoor applications, standing water can create slippery surfaces and pose a major safety risk. Circle Redmont’s design accounts for this with advanced drainage solutions.
- Prevents Water Pooling: The unique design of Lumex® Pavers includes natural drainage systems when married with pedestal supports that direct water away from the surface. This not only reduces the risk of slips but also prevents water damage to surrounding structures.
- Ideal for Rooftops, Decks, and Outdoor Areas: Thanks to their efficient drainage capabilities, these pavers are perfect for applications where water management is a priority—whether it’s a rooftop terrace, a poolside deck, or a public walkway.
With these features, Circle Redmont’s glass pavers combine aesthetics with function, ensuring safety even when exposed to the elements.
