American manufacturer Glen-Gery specializes in the Venetian Glass Brick. The  uses centuries-old craftsmanship to offer an integrated material science solution. These clear glass brick units provide light transmission, spatial privacy, and structural integrity for both American architecture and contemporary architecture.
Founded in 1890 in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Glen-Gery’s material expertise is evident in its brick and stone products. The company is committed to providing aesthetic and performance-oriented solutions for architects and designers by combining traditional material knowledge with innovative production techniques. The Venetian Glass Collection directly reflects this corporate philosophy, making it a preferred choice for architectural projects that prioritize light management and visual impact.
Glen-Gery’s Venetian Glass Bricks are crafted from high-quality clear glass, allowing natural light to penetrate interior spaces while balancing visual transparency between spaces. The collection is available in three primary shades:
Arctic Crystal: A clear, neutral tone that provides maximum light transmission, ideal for minimalist and bright spaces.
Aqua Marine: Features a light blue-green hue that adds a calm and airy atmosphere to spaces. It is particularly suitable for spaces associated with water elements or where the cool tones of natural light need to be emphasized.
Golden Amber: Provides a warm light distribution with golden tones, making it a preferred choice for spaces that create a warm atmosphere even in daylight.
The material is available in four different surface finishes:
Natural: Maintains the original texture of the glass surface, ensuring maximum visibility and light transmission.
Frosted: The surface is micro-roughened to diffuse light, providing a soft light distribution while increasing visual privacy. It is primarily used in areas where privacy is important, such as bathrooms or meeting rooms.
Polished: A high-gloss, smooth surface that enhances light reflection and offers a modern and elegant look.
Satin: Has a matte, velvety texture that absorbs and diffuses light more controlledly, reducing surface glare.
