Welcome to Vitrolite Specialist.com!
Vitrolite, the sleek glass tile of the 20's and 30's that epitomized the ultramodern look, is still an important part of our architecture. Vitrolite is lovingly cared for and preserved by Timothy J. Dunn, owner of Vitrolite Specialist. Tim has filled the information void for structural glass and is available for consultation at vitrolite@earthlink.net
The use of Vitrolite
and other pigmented structural glass reached its heyday in the 1920's
and 1930's. This handsome and versatile building material, so much a part
of the Art Deco and Art Moderne architectural styles, was used primarily
for interior and exterior wall surfacing. Click here
to see examples of Vitrolite in use, both historical and present-day.
Renewed interest in and appreciation for Art Deco and Art Moderne
coupled with efforts to preserve historic buildings and their original
materials have led to a need for craftsmen and craftswomen who are skilled
in removing, repairing and replacing Vitrolite and other structural glass.
This need for skilled and experienced craftsmen and the fact that
pigmented structural glass is no longer manufactured in the United States
has created an need for specialists in the preservation and restoration
of Vitrolite. Tim Dunn is the Vitrolite Specialist.
