Transparency, fewer seams, the illusion of continuity between outdoors and indoors: these are just some of the reasons to design with glass block in big formats.

For high-end sophistication, glass block in big formats (30×30 cm and 24×24 cm) is the first choice of architects. Ideal for exteriors with large facades, and as an elegant interior solution, surface effects are incredibly bright, fluid, and dynamic.

Today’s glass block unites aesthetic values with high-profile, performance techniques.

Classic formats (19x19x8 cm) provide endless possibilities. With high-performance technology like fire resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, bullet resistance, and self-cleaning options, glass blocks elevate creativity by catering to the most challenging project needs.

Different thickness for maximum flexibility.

Glass block designed for vertical structures in a variety of formats and thicknesses so designers have increased flexibility and versatility with wall compositions. Build lighter-weight, thinner, and aesthetically pleasing walls, furnish rooms, and create lightweight surfaces with 5 cm thick glass block (3 cm thinner than standard glass block).

Glass block at its purest.

Extraordinarily versatile and available in a range of sizes and styles, pure and solid glass block offers design possibilities limited only by an architect’s imagination and vision. The Vistabrik glass block increases the amount of natural daylight while providing security. The Vetropieno Line offers three colours to add atmosphere to interiors.

Exclusive for horizontal structures.

For realizing horizontal projects such as roofs, bridges, walkways, underground applications, and any external space that requires additional light. Designed for safety, stability, aesthetic appeal, and luminosity, pavers and tiles are thermally insulated, mechanical and fire resistant, and able to handle higher loads.
