What is faceted (dalle de verre) art glass?
Faceted glass is architectural art glass made from pieces of glass 8″ x 10″ x 3/4″ thick. It is also called dalle de verre, (French for “slabs of glass). These slabs are cut or broken into smaller pieces that are then arranged into the desired design on a flat surface. The edges of the glass are chipped or “faceted” to bend light rays like lenses for interesting effects. Epoxy grout is poured between the pieces. When hardened, the entire assembly becomes a solid architectural wall component.
