How To Make Use Of Glass For Our Interior?

 

Now it’s the era of contemporary homes where people love glass walls and glass designs to add beauty to their home. So, let me give you a few tips if you want to make use of glass for your interior architecture for your new home.

 

Glasses are of different types and they are used for wide range of purposes. Simple one is plain glass used to design windows and shelves. If your preference is safety, use laminated glass. Now decorative glass and panels are available with designs to make your interior beautiful. Let me mention a few more glass types that are used for constructing homes. Tafant glass, double painted glass, glass blocks and reflective glasses are available in different thickness and cost. Glass blocks are used as partitions of rooms, instead of walls while double painted glass with more than 10 derivatives is used for kitchen cabinets as they won’t catch moisture easily.

 

You can use glass for your floors, roof, windows, doors, walls and even staircases if you wish so. If you want to see moon and stars at night while sleeping glass roof is the best option. During day time, it allows maximum sunlight. It makes me remember old homes with tile roofs, with mirrors placed here and there to allow sunlight inside.

 

Glass is cheap and gives less construction cost. Also it allows maximum sunlight inside our rooms reducing our electricity bills. They are echo-friendly and need less time for cleaning. No polish for glass! These are the main advantages of glass over normal bricks and wooden pieces.

 

Now, doing glass work for interior is the latest trend. Beveling, cluster work, etching and glass staining give artistic work and beauty to your glass interiors. Now it’s possible to colour/stain glass with desired colours to make it attractive. You can imprint designs as well. If you imprint such designs in windows and glass panels using many colours it looks transparent with sunlight as well. Just you need to choose the suitable shades and patterns.

 

Nowadays glass architecture is used for big constructions to give a distinct look. Private Banks, offices, commercials etc come under this category.
