What are Glass Floors and Stair Treads?
Glass isn't just windows anymore. In today's most innovative buildings, it's underfoot...literally!
Glass flooring and stair treads are quickly becoming eye catching design choices in commercial spaces, hotels, retail environments, and modern offices. Why? Because they offer an incredible combination of weight-bearing strength, safety, and futuristic aesthetics.
Contrary to popular belief, glass flooring and stairs is in fact safer than walking on any other type of flooring. Keep reading to know why.
Why Glass Flooring Works
Glass flooring may sound fragile, but it's anything but At Brick Wholesale Glass, our glass flooring is made with at least 3 laminated glass panels and is strictly engineered for structural strength and heavy foot traffic. The result is a durable walking surface that's clean, modern, and incredibly tough. Glass flooring is also fire-resistant, easy to sanitize, and retains its polish and clarity over time.
To prevent slips and falls, traction patterns can also be taken advantage of. With the option of unique traction-control surfaces to provide slip resistance, and the option of digital printing, you can print your logo, art piece, and have guaranteed security all while doing it. These subtle etchings and coatings help others feel secure while allowing light to pass through openly.
Available in panel sizes up to 96" x 120", our flooring is ideal for large spaces, while our 6" x 6" tiles offer precision for more intricate layouts. You can opt for clear glass, textured, screen-printed, or colored interlayers, which are all fabricated to the strictest ANSI and ASTM standards.
Glass Stair Treads - The Strength in Every Step
Like the flooring systems, glass stair treads are made strong, long-lasting, and beautiful.
At Brick Glass, our stair treads are made from tempered -laminated glass systems that are built to handle the demands of high traffic environments. Each tread is composed of at least three layers of laminated glass, with the option of more depending on your projects requirements. This layered structure provides exceptional strength, weight tolerance, and durability.
For safety and code compliance, our stair treads are available with traction solutions. We offer both screen-printed and digitally applied traction control frit, which can be customized in various patterns to meet aesthetic goals while maintaining slip resistance. This minimizes the risk of slips and falls which is especially critical in commercial and public settings.
A Beautiful Upgrade
Beyond the mechanics, glass stairs and flooring are an absolutely beautiful and futuristic addition to an environment. When paired with glass railing systems, they amplify natural light and bring an open, modern energy to lobbies, showrooms, and high - end interiors.
Both glass flooring and glass stair treads can be completely customized for branding. Logos, graphics, and design motifs can be integrated through our digital printing and screen printing process, giving each stair tread a distinct and personal identity.
Every floor and stair system we fabricate is made to exact project specifications. Clear flooring can be done if permitted by local building codes and transparency requirements.
Conclusion
Glass becomes more than a material, it becomes a design solution. The future of design is bold yet soft, transparent yet striking, and glass is leading the way.
At Brick Glass, our glass flooring and stair treads are customizable down to the smallest detail to meet both creative vision and structural requirements . If you're planning a commercial space, luxury development, or an architectural statement piece, glass flooring and stair treads offer unmatched design impact without compromising on safety or strength.
