Glen-Gery Announces New Venetian Glass Brick Color, Emerald Green

Words: Sophia Possidente

Glen-Gery Corporation, a leading brick manufacturer under Brickworks North America, announced the launch of Emerald Green—the newest color addition to its Venetian Glass Brick collection, offering a radiant, high-design option that speaks to today’s top architectural and design trends.

Combining rich green hues with the transparent brilliance of Venetian Glass Brick, Emerald Green’s luminous, jewel-like quality brings a dynamic, modern aesthetic to any space. Whether used in statement walls, accent pieces or full-scale architectural installations, its bold vibrance transforms its surroundings, infusing designs with a radiant wash of color. Shaped by Italian artistry, the Venetian Glass Brick collection brings striking appeal and luxury to a variety of architectural applications.

Offered in three finishes—natural, polished and frosted—the brick allows for a wide range of textures and effects. Its translucent nature supports open-plan concepts, indoor-outdoor transitions and biophilic design by amplifying light and preserving visual connection without sacrificing privacy.

“Color is back in a big way, and so is intentional use of light in architectural design,” said Tim Leese, director of marketing at Glen-Gery. “The new Emerald Green Venetian Glass Brick captures both of these rising design trends; it creates a sense of elevated openness, inviting natural light in and gently sectioning spaces while retaining a sense of privacy. By broadening our portfolio of color options, we aim to provide architects, designers and homeowners with the ultimate product versatility, expanding design possibilities through the unique interplay of color, texture and light.”

Available now for purchase, the Emerald Green Venetian Glass Brick is part of Glen-Gery’s expansive portfolio of more than 500 products. For more information about the Venetian Glass Brick collection, visit glengery.com/products/brick/international-collection/venetian-glass-brick.
