Residential Glass Floor Systems

Glass floors in houses are gaining popularity among homeowners and interior designers for their unique blend of strength and style. When properly engineered, structural glass can even support the weight of a vehicle. Beyond durability, glass flooring adds a striking accent to wood, tile, stone, or concrete surfaces, enhancing any space with modern elegance. Whether incorporated into a mezzanine, a full floor, or a small section, glass flooring in the living room creates an open, light-filled atmosphere that transforms the home into a visually stunning and inspiring space.

Benefits / Business Structure Skylights / Skylight Applications / GBA

When it comes to the purchase of a building, residential or commercial, the space is what draws you in.  Glass has the ability to bring light and create a warm sense of openness thanks to its transparency and timeless aesthetic. In many buildings, natural light is limited, which is why home and property owners look to walkable glass skylights and flooring systems for a solution. Walkable glass skylights allow natural light flow into lower areas of your building, creating a beautiful space that feels larger and more open. Here at GBA, our skylights come in both traditional glass as well as walkable sidewalk skylight applications that combine glass pavers with cast iron or concrete. 

Daylighting: The Future of Architecture

Daylighting design strategies pertain to managing the admittance of natural light in the form of direct or diffused sunlight into a home or building. With the strategic use of skylights, windows, and glass block, artificial lighting requirements can be reduced without compromising heating and cooling capability.
