Cast Glass

Cast glass is a very effective material for many architectural applications. Its dimensional surface provides a textured finish and visual obscurity while providing for light transmission.

The most expensive part of the process is the production of the molds used to cast the glass. To achieve economy one mold is used to cast each piece of glass. As a result each piece of glass is the same overall texture, which may not be the most desirable appearance for some applications.

To address this issue, Architectural Glass Art, Inc. has developed the Modular Mold System, which allows designers the opportunity to create custom designs at a standard price.

In the Modular Mold System the molds used to cast the glass are composed of several smaller, individual molds, or modules. The system allows for the introduction of multiple textures within one piece of glass as well as for the introduction of colors in different areas of a composition. One of the most important features of the system is the introduction of a linear graphic element, which is the space between the individual modules. This introduces another design element that creates both a rhythm and establishes an overall organizing pattern for all the adjacent glass panels.
