Commercial Applications
Glass blocks have become well established in the panorama of today's architecture as an indispensable constructive component. The weightless appearance of this element combines perfectly with other construction materials and when arranged in a layout comprising stone and glass, this transparent material is a capricious and delightful alternating element in otherwise solid brick walls. During daylight, the translucent element conducts natural light inside the building whereas at night the artistic effects of artificial illumination are quite captivating.

Glass blocks have also been widely used as a modern, clean and sophisticated building material in office receptions where their striking visual appearance has been chosen by companies as the first impression it gives to its customers or clients. Sweeping curved walls, backlit dividers and light diffusing windows not only create a unique business ambience but offer a practical business solution as well.

As more and more commercial architecture rises to the challenge of incorporating glass blocks in their projects they have become less of an architecural rarity and are now more common than ever. Glass Blocks Queensland has extensive experience in working with commercial developers, architects and building contractors to maximize both the technical strengths and the aesthetic appeal of their products. We will also supply licensed technicians to install all of our glass block products.
