One of the two interior bridges in our house will have glass decking.  The supplier of the glass decking is Sierra Glass Block, which is the distributor in Northern California for the GlassWalk system.

This feature glass decking will be one of the last components to be installed as we want to limit the number of items that could be damaged through simple accidents on our construction site (e.g., dropping a hammer).

We have been working with Terese Eiseman Keller of Sierra Glass Block and she came by our project site to review the structural steel bridge and take some photos.  Terese had not been to our site since July.

After dropping Nik off at his baseball camp at Stanford University, Bryan went directly to PCBC this morning.

Making Contact with Sierra Glass Block

This morning, Bryan met with Philip Kristianson and Terese Eisseman Keller of Sierra Glass Block.  They are distributors for GlassWalk structural glass floor systems, by Innovative Building Products.  This product is exactly what we have been looking for to go into one of our two bridges.

Other Contacts

Bryan met with Ray Kechely of Ultra-Tec Cable Railing Systems.  Ray will introduce Bryan to qualified installers of custom cable railing sytems in the Bay Area.  It was great to meet Ray.

Site Visit to Atherton to See GlassWalk Floor System

As circumstances would have it, Bryan was lucky to see a glass floor system in a very nice house in Atherton.  Just on the way home before leaving on the Father’s Day Camping Weekend.

You can see how the aluminum frame sits inside the structural steel frame. This could work in our bridge!
