Creating the perfect glass for Water Fall applications can be very difficult. The water has to flow evenly down the face of the glass, with limited or no splashing. The texture on every panel needs to be consistent. The color needs to be accurate. Achieving all these details makes the difference between an effective water wall, or a water partition which performs poorly.

Working with the creative designers at Robert A.M Stern Architects (RAMSA), NY, Nathan Allan’s director, Barry Allan, created a cast glass which achieved all the necessary requirements of an effective and functional Water Fall. Our Linear texture was ideal, in that the water “hugs” the textured glass surface and did not release off the glass surface. Any splashing off the glass surface is minimal, and safely collects in the reservoir basin at the bottom floor level. In designing the glass to use both clear and low iron glass combined, the color tone which is created met the designers requirements perfectly. A beautiful Aqua Green color was created, enhancing the overall Water them in these spectacular headquarters. Also, the dual privacy finishes provided the perfect level of opacity, eliminating any shading which may have been created by the walls hidden structure.

The combination of Aqua Green Linear textured glass with the daunting size and gentle sounds of the flowing water, makes these dueling Water Partitions an incredible site to see firsthand…
