People who live in glass houses...

... could have used Vetropieno solid glass bricks by SEVES and not worried about rocks.

 



















Actually, the Vetropieno isn't meant to be a structural component despite it's toughness. So you probably shouldn't build a house with it.

Can you imagine the blinds, curtains or shades you'd need if you lived in a glass house?  Not to mention the lack of privacy.  I'm sure we've got something that will solve all those shortcomings though.   It didn't take me long to get off the point, did it? 
One of the newest products available to us from SEVES is their Vetropieno solid glass bricks.  They're available in 4 colors and two sizes and can be used for several different applications in your home or business.  Vetropieno can be installed like any other glass block using masonry mortar.  Bars, walls, end caps, back splashes or even windows; where you can use Vetropieno is limited only by your imagination!

This dividing wall uses the Blu and Neutro version in both sizes.  The bold color compliments both the blue and white in the wall coverings and flooring. 


Here the Siena color is used to compliment the decor while adding some splash protection to the tub.

Interested in more information about Vetropieno?  You can reach me through email or stop in our Sharonville showroom to see Vetropieno and all of the other exciting glass block products from SEVES.


And for the record... I don't think Aroldis Chapman could throw a rock hard enough to break this stuff....   GO REDS!

SEVES Brings Style to the world of Glass Block

Everyone has a version, it's been on the market for decades and it's the most popular style for it's simplistic appeal.  It's available in all the sizes and shapes you could possibly need for just about any layout.  It's the perfect glass block!  That is; so long as you don't mind the status quo.  Like Henry Ford said of the Model T.  "any colour... so long as it is black". Similar could be said of glass block. Until now!
Colorless, Wavy
All of that is changed.  No longer are we force fed the colorless glass in a wavy pattern.  Now there are options.  Forget what you used to know about glass block and find out what we've all been missing for all these years.


With SEVES comes literally hundreds of glass block colors, shapes, finishes and sizes.  Your imagination is truly your only limitation!  Sure, there's still the wavy pattern and colorless if you want the same ol', but why not use a color that will compliment your decor?  Too permanent?  The same could be said of the ceramic tile or natural stone that's on the floor and walls; right? 


Satin Finish - Verde

  Yes, there's a color to compliment any decor!  Why use 2x4s, drywall, paint, paper and tile?  You can have the same privacy those products provide and still allow ambient light to pass.  The rooms will feel less claustrophobic and provide a touch of color.

"Boring" or "Plain" are no longer reasons not to use glass block in your construction or remodeling!
