Today’s lamination technologies have helped architects apply glamour to glass balustrade! And it’s not only the aesthetics of the material that attracts the architects and the building industry; today’s crystal glass baluster works much harder than anyone could have imagined 10 years ago to meet a range of functional needs – from demanding wind load requirements in high rise buildings throughout the world, seismic loading where this is needed, or impact resistance in typhoon or hurricane regions.
Most of all, I believe that architects are fascinated by the new ways to control light that crystal glass balustrade gives them: by building in various degrees of opacity to control shading very tightly and by the use of colors of decoration crystal within glass, for example. The architects we work with worldwide are very interested in decorative technologies like Divas Glass crystal glass technology as an efficient and flexible new way of introducing a whole new range of visual possibilities into crystal glass balusters.
