INTRODUCTION TO DECORATIVE GLASS
![Page 7: Designing with Architectural Decorative Glass](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555adbc5d8b42a62528b4daa/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Today, design professionals have unlimited options when designing with decorative glass without giving up performance.
Decorative glass offers custom and standard options allowing the creation of unique one-of-a-kind designs for both interior and exterior glazing applications.
New technologies offer state-of-the-art quality and durability at a relatively inexpensive price point.
DESIGNING WITH DECORATIVE GLASS

1. Size limitations2. No custom3. Some colors not
available4. Not safety5. Not “high
resolution” on quality
THE MYTHS
![Page 9: Designing with Architectural Decorative Glass](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555adbc5d8b42a62528b4daa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Size not an obstacle
2. Meet virtually any design theme.
3. Every color is a possibility
4. Laminated and Tempered are prominent
5. “HD” quality is more the norm

Allows the use of more glass in various applications leading to:
Allows designers to use more glass contributing to more daylighting in the work space
Ability to help control solar heat gain by providing levels of shading
Provides more recyclable products on the project
DECORATIVE GLASS AND SUSTAINABILITY
![Page 34: Designing with Architectural Decorative Glass](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/555adbc5d8b42a62528b4daa/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The use of decorative glass in various glazing systems can contribute to LEED in the following ways:
Provide measurements of light control
Contribute to controlling solar heat gain with low-e products
Contribute to daylighting
