Architectural Accents
Walls are an integral part of any building design, and architectural accents can drastically enhance the aesthetic appeal and practicality of a space. Often associated with outdated style from the ’80s, modern technology and design experts have embraced glass flooring for creating beautiful industrial lofts, restaurants, vintage storefronts, offices, and even dividing walls.
When designing architectural accents using glass block or Circle Redmont®’s glass flooring systems, there are many factors that affect how much light passes through one space to another. Textured or colored blocks in various patterns and sizes offer resistance to elements like hurricanes, wind, tornados, and fire, as well as reducing heating costs associated with energy conservation. Glass block walls can provide privacy while still allowing natural light to enter your spaces.
Glass block and flooring accents also minimize sound transmission, making it perfect for all sorts of interior areas including schools and community spaces. These ever-popular architectural accents deliver an attractive blend of aesthetics, functionality, and cost effectiveness!
The Design
The design potential of incorporating architectural accents such as glass block walls into your projects is astounding, especially when you want to make a statement. Notable examples include the University of Alabama, Ronald Reagan Airport, and the Willow Hotel, which all successfully used glass block as an accent wall to create high-end exteriors that are still remembered today. Tapping into the possibilities of different patterns and textures, you can bring your vision to life!
Using glass block walls comes with several great advantages. For instance, it provides privacy in one space while still allowing light through; its low sound transmission qualities are a great choice for offices, schools and community spaces; not to mention the energy savings through increased daylighting that comes with installation.
