Trendy interior glass

Driven by consumers’ growing attraction for glass, it is increasingly being used in home interiors, offices and stores. With growing use, the number of applications is also expanding. Saint-Gobain Glass and Glassolutions are applying all their expertise to develop products in response to this modern trend.

The glass advantage 

Trendy glass now 

The A Glass House showroom in the Marais district in Paris (France) presents all glass solutions and products by Glassolutions for interior finishing.

Because it transforms spaces, makes them seem bigger or partitions them off; because it plays with the effects of light and can be used for all manner of customization, glass has become the go-to interior decoration product for living and working spaces. Its use is increasingly widespread in all market segments. To support these ever-expanding applications, interior glass is being presented in new forms and acquiring new markets with, however, clear differences from one country to another. Its durability, longevity, easy maintenance and timeless aesthetic, makes glass the ideal solution for today’s interior finishing requirements: Saint-Gobain Glass and Glassolutions provide high-performance solutions that improve comfort and protect the environment.

Comprehensive and innovative product range 

Saint-Gobain Glass and Glassolutions are specialists that currently provide the most comprehensive and the most innovative product range with a solution for each specific application (furniture, doors, partitions, etc.).

They provide solutions for interior architects and manufacturers, as well as glaziers, specialist bathroom and kitchen distributors, and DIY stores. In addition to its direct customers (transformers and dealers), Saint-Gobain Glass develops partnerships with specialists, furniture or partition makers, etc.

Innovation is crucial on the interior glass market. “We provide unique products that cannot be replaced with any other,” points out Jean-François Outin, Director Interior Glass Market, Glassolutions. And there is no let-up in the pace of innovation, “Our aim is to speed it up even more in the coming five years in order to release increasingly innovative products,” explains Isabelle Bernheim, Market Manager at Saint-Gobain Glass.
