Glass flooring has been used mostly in buildings and towers with observation decks. Clear, toughened glass provides a dramatic effect when installed high above the ground so visitors can see clear through to the earth below. Some of the best examples of dramatic glass floors are at The Grand Canyon Skywalk which is 4000 feet about the ground and The Sears Tower observatory deck at 1353 feet above the ground. Both attractions provide visitors with an amazing view through glass flooring.
More tradition types of glass flooring are found in glass tiles, which are available for commercial and residential use. They come in a variety of shapes, size and colors. While they look attractive and colorful, there do have some drawbacks. Glass tiles can be more expensive, they can scratch and are slippery when wet. However they are known to last a very long time and be impervious to water and dirt. A slip resistant sealant is recommended. While a glass floor is easy to maintain, it requires more than average maintenance because hand and foot prints show up easily. Since the tiles are delicate, glass tile installation is best left to an expert. Glass floors are ideal in bathrooms, kitchens and pool areas. A significant advantage to glass tile is that it's bacteria and allergen resistant.
Here is a great example of how a glass floor can greatly improve the viewing experience.
Kristan posted on: August 26, 2010 I love the idea of using glass floors in observation decks or other attractions, however I'm having difficulty imagining it in a residential application. Glass tile on backsplashes is easy for me to grasp, but I'm having a hard time picturing it on a floor. I would also assume they are very slippery and shouldn't be used in areas that are often wet. Do you have any pictures of a glass floor in a house?
