Specialty Glass Design Kit
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has unveiled its Specialty Glass Design Kit for interior and exterior applications, featuring Starphire Ultra-Clear glass, Clarvista shower glass, and earth- and ocean-inspired performance-tinted glasses, together with an exclusive array of acid-etched and painted glass products from Walker Textures glass and ICD High Performance Coatings, respectively. The Vitro Specialty Glass Design Kit contains 20, 4-by-6-inch tiles featuring six tints in the Vitro Glass palette, including Atlantica, Graylite II, Pacifica, Solarblue, Solargray and Solarbronze glasses as well as several of the same products acid-etched with Opaque, Velour, Mirror and Satin finishes by Walker Textures glass. Architects and designers commonly use these products to add color, translucence, and visual flair to exterior building surfaces as well as partitions, doors, balustrades, bath and shower enclosures, backsplashes, and other interior components. Some architects and designers use sheet glass to create a sense of open space while adding sections to a building’s structure. Combining these types of designs with monolithic glass and other types of sheet glass creates a unique and welcoming design to any building while providing privacy and a comfortable environment for work, library, or other public buildings.
