BirdSmart
Reflective and transparent buildings can confuse our flying feathered friends. Vitro’s BirdSmart bird-safe glass is laser etched with one of four dot patterns to deter avian collisions without compromising performance. Mix and match lites with other Vitro products, such as its Solarban low-E glass, to produce the perfect IGU in one fell swoop.

MYMiniGlass
The dimpled glass block of yore rightly fell out of fashion long ago, but today’s crisply lined alternatives have staged a comeback. Seves’s MYMiniGlass collection of 6" square insulated blocks, corners, and endpieces shines bright in any setting. In addition to the translucent arctic finish (pictured), they come in multiple colors and textures.

Tekta
This line of cast glass not only comes in clear sheets of varying lengths, widths, and thicknesses, but it has been specifically devised for kiln-forming techniques such as fusing and slumping. Combine stock material with transparent cullets (pictured) or opaque billets to produce custom effects and shatter all expectations on your next project.

Venetian Glass Brick
Vitreous brick is an alternative to glass block, and Glen-Gery’s solution looks to the traditions of Venice for inspiration. Available in six different colors—the newest being a shade of emerald—and four different finishes, these glass bricks can be used inside and out.
