Redi2Design: Visualize Your Design

Building a home?  Remodeling a bathroom?  Finishing your basement?  One of the most difficult parts in planning your project is determining your finishes and how they will look when the project is all said and done.  What products to use?  What colors?  What finishes?  The entire process can be overwhelming.

Remember though; this is your space and your money and you should have a say in the process.  After all; you have to live with these decisions. 

Glass block has come a long way.  We're no longer forced to use colorless glass in a wavy pattern.  We now have hundreds of colors, shapes, sizes, patterns, types and finishes available.  There are more reasons now than ever before to consider glass block for your project. 

We recently launched Redi2Design; an online tool that you can use to design your shower, wall or window (or any other glass block application) using dozens of colors and finishes from SEVES.  In six simple steps, you'll have a design you can save or print and take to your tile or paint store and share with your contractor, builder or architect.

This video shows you how it works.


From simple applications like a window for a small bathroom renovation:

Exterior walls to provide natural light:

Interior dividing walls to share the light between rooms for a more open feel:

Be inspired!  Build a bar for your family room using your favorite team colors, create a bathroom window using satin finishes for privacy, use glass block for dividing walls where you would have use drywall and paint. 

Store fronts built with colored glass block that will add to the building's decor.  Design windows with crosses for your church.  A reception desk in your foyer adds a touch of elegance to the ever so important "first impression". 

The bottom line is there are more reasons to use glass block than to not use glass block thanks to the hundreds of blocks now available.

Are you a builder, architect, dealer or other contractor who wants to make this tool available to your clients?  Contact me through the blog or email and I'll be happy to help you start taking advantage of this tool.
