The Glass Block - a Darling of the New Lifestyle Generation

Just a few simple design details can be enough to transform the space defined by the four walls into an expression of personal lifestyle and to experience the special feeling of individualised living. This is context in which the versatile Solaris glass blocks step into the limelight. Used as an alternative to tiles, as a separator or a furnishing element, the translucent material can be used to achieve remarkable transformations to living space with minimum effort.

Aesthetic separators: glass blocks open up new scope of bathroom design

ln bathrooms for instance, conventional shower curtains are being increasingly replaced by light-conducting separators made of glass blocks. They harmonise smoothly into the overall conception of the bathroom and transport more light into the shower areas, giving rise to a cheerful and bright atmosphere. In addition, thoughtful use of translucent separators open up a new world of design possibilities in the bathroom. There is really no need to be tied down by the traditional positioning of the washbasin, WC and bathtub along the walls - the installation of these sanitary elements can be redefined.

Glass blocks need minimum maintenance. Their robustness against moisture and aggressive cleaning agents make them material of choice in heavily used kitchen areas.

Likewise in the kitchen, the transparency and easy-to-clean qualities of glass blocks open up an entire world of original design options, leaving you to concentrate entirely while designing the kitchen, on the needs of the family. The translucent element is also increasingly used as an alternative to tiles or a light-inlet in the kitchen. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, the glass block has proven a viable alternative thanks to its robustness and low maintenance overheads. Unlike all-glass doors and windows which show every drop of water, glass blocks are completely uncomplicated - they need minimum maintenance and are completely resistant to moisture and aggressive detergents, qualities that have made the glass block the material of choice in a high-usage areas, typically kitchens.

Used as a design element, glass blocks bring an extra dimension to interior design. The back-lit counter becoms an eye-catcher in the modern live-in kitchen

In addition to application in kitchen and bathroom areas, glass blocks can also be used as accentuating elements in the living area. Transparent glass block curtain walls can be used to define individual functional spaces to obtain a series of smoothly b!ending functional areas while at the same time conserving spatial autonomy. Glass block curtain walls ensure abundant light while creating an incomparable spatial atmosphere. Depending on application and installation, the translucent material can also be used as a light conduit or to create interesting refractive effects. The degree of transparency can be smoothly controlled thanks to a wide choice of decors. Satinised glass blocks can be used to create a private environment: they block visual intrusion while allowing in plenty of natural light.

The wide range of Solaris glass blocks allow for unrestricted play with light, colour and form. Combined with creative design, they will create a truly personal living space; even small details can make a big difference.
