Can Custom Glass Flooring Boost Your Sales?


In an increasingly competitive market, every business has to find ways to differentiate itself from competitors. Custom glass flooring could be one unique, beautiful way to achieve that. Discover some of your customization options and what you can potentially gain from this investment.

Custom Glass Floors as Art: What Are Your Options?


Using architectural glass as your canvas, there are many stunning, interesting, unique ways to personalize and customize your glass flooring. Here are just some options and techniques available to commercial spaces.


Integrate LED Lights


Adding LED lights into your architectural glass project serves two functions. One, it creates a unique, visually interesting effect. Two, it enhances the functionality of the piece.


Especially with something like a glass countertop or glass flooring in a dim bar or restaurant, LED lights offer a subtle but effective amount of light for extra customer safety and ease of use.


Use Different Colored Glass


Work with your glass manufacturer to determine which colors of glass are available to you. Depending on your needs, you could create patterns or designs using those different colors.


You could even enhance and reinforce branding by custom matching your company colors within the architectural glass feature.


Experiment with Textures and Patterns


Visible texture within the glass. Texture you can touch and feel on the glass surface. Custom images etched into the glass itself, including brand logos. There’s a world of options with glass customization.


Whether you’re going for a clean, minimalistic look or a more ornate feel, the versatility of cast glass opens up many options for texturing and pattens within your project.


Play with Size and Shape of the Glass


Not all glass projects need to be made of standard rectangular panes of transparent glass. If you have a vision for a nonstandard glass project, talk to your glass manufacturer. They’ll work closely with their engineering team to see if your project idea is feasible.


This applies to:


  • Panes of glass cut into unique or custom shapes.
  • The thickness of individual glass panes.
  • The size of individual glass panes. (With proper engineering and installation, even large, uninterrupted spans of glass can be possible.)
  • Level of transparency within the glass (fully transparent, frosted, or distorted for privacy).


Of course, the priority is always creating a safe, durable, high-quality product. It’s why every TCG Glass project is carefully designed with the input of a glass-specific engineer. But once those boxes are ticked, the sky is often the limit with glass design!


Don’t see your idea represented here? No problem. That’s one of the biggest advantages of working with a custom architectural glass manufacturer. Feel free to reach out to see if your specific idea is a possibility.

4 Benefits of Custom Glass Flooring in Your Business


Glass flooring is about more than just creating something that looks nice. For commercial spaces, there’s real dollars-and-cents value in investing in this kind of project.


  • Increase the resale value of the space. This is especially relevant if you own the premises of your business. These material improvements up the value of the property, earning you back a percentage of your upfront investment if and when you sell.


  • Encourage repeat customers. Adding these sorts of projects creates an upscale, interesting, vibrant atmosphere within the business. That’s the kind of place people want to return to again and again.


  • Get shares, likes, and attention on social media. Getting the word out about your business usually requires an investment of time or funds (or both). Having an architectural glass feature that’s eye-catching, exciting, and unique enough to entice customers to share online can be a shortcut to better online visibility…and the profits associated with that.


  • Earn referral customers. If you provide people with a positive enough experience, they will talk about it with their friends and family. Creating that end-to-end experience, including the aesthetics and feel of the space, can result in positive word of mouth that broadens your customer base.
