glassblock.
MAXIMIZING THE POTENTIAL
OF GLASS BLOCKS
Thanks to Seves, the humble
glass block has become an impor-
tant design material for archi-
tecture. From the start, Seves
glassblock aimed to change tradi-
tional production rules and ideas
regarding glass blocks, which
were previously considered ‘poor’
building materials used only in
cases of lack of light. Seves intro-
duced to the humble glass block
highly advanced experience and
technology thus enhancing its
pureness, brilliance, transpar-
ency, and resistance, the single
most beneficial components of
the product. It then went one
step further by adding an exclu-
sive characteristic, once reserved
only for the most sophisticated
glasses: colour. An improved
process of production rationali-
zation modified and enlarged the
entire product line with mod-
els and complementary modules
to make customized solutions.
Finally, the incorporation of new
research and development activi-
ties made way for new wall instal-
lation methods, new special mor-
tars for laying and finishing, and
the progressive reduction of the
‘gap’ between glass blocks to just
2 millimetres.
