Man Caught Gazing at the Glazing

My ability to finance this project in one way or another has to be attributed to glass and crystalline materials. When the quote came in to install glass on the stairs, landing and balcony it felt right to ignore the budget and and place the order. Heck yeah, my grandfather who co-founded an optical manufacturing company would have done exactly the same only he'd have ordered the solid gold brackets and mahogany newels.

Speaking as ex marketing director of said optical manufacturing company you can see that you can see straight through the glass!! Technically speaking that allows the light to transmit through the glass straight through to your eyes. Stop me if I'm getting too technical here... In layman's terms i think it looks the business. I'm still getting used to the look of the balcony but from the inside the uninterrupted view of the countryside beyond is spot on.
