Applications of Solid Glass Bricks
Although solid glass bricks are not commonly seen in our daily home environment, they are actually widely used. Most of the shared information focuses on their application as partitions, doors and windows, walls, and screens. However, I believe that describing them in terms of our living spaces can better help you understand how to apply them flexibly and integrate them into your own home.
Living Room: Using transparent glass bricks as windows in the living room can make the glaring and reflective sunlight softer and more comfortable. They can also be used as a TV background wall or door frame to give the wall a new sense of transparency.
Kitchen: Have you ever thought about making the wall next to the countertop with glass bricks? Choosing smooth glass bricks will add a touch of fantasy to the countertop. Or if your home has an open kitchen and dining area, you can use glass bricks as a screen to separate the two spaces.
Study: Glass bricks are actually very suitable for studies, especially solid ones, as they can make the indoor lighting softer and relieve the discomfort caused by sunlight to the eyes.
Bedroom: If your small secondary bedroom doesn’t have a window, you can build a wall with glass bricks to borrow light from outside and illuminate the room. Or you can make a bedside table or create a window-like structure on the side of the window with glass bricks.
Corridor: If your home has a long corridor like Hu Yifei’s, you might choose to use glass bricks for the walls, making the corridor bright while maintaining privacy. If you want to elevate the look of your staircase, a glass brick wall will definitely enhance the noble atmosphere of your home.
Bathroom: The waterproof and moisture-proof properties of glass bricks are best utilized in bathrooms. They can be used as partitions, walls, or doors and windows. Not blocking light and vision can make the bathroom appear much larger. Choosing frosted or textured glass bricks can also create a subtle shadow effect, which is very nice.。
