About American Specialty Glass

ASG Glass started in 2001 recycling bottles and w indows for the terrazzo industry. Since then, ASG Glass has expanded its product offerings and capabilities to everything you see in this brochure. We’re located in North Salt Lake, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. We operate several glass-melting furnaces and color the glass with our proprietary methods and formulations. We stock significant quantities of standard colors in our warehouse. We’re willing to make custom colors given the right quantity and schedule flexibility. We market our products both through distributors and directly to end customers. We sell both on a wholesale and a retail level. We manufacture all of our glass from recycled products and can provide supporting documentation for LEED projects when needed. Most importantly, we love what we do. We hope it shows through in our glass quality and customer service.

Landscaping

Gone are the days of bark mulch, stone groundcover, and earth tone colored rocks. From dry riverbeds and fountain accents, to flagstone fillers and rock gardens, the rainbow of colors available in glass is unprecedented in landscaping applications. Because it’s tumbled, the glass won’t cut. Because it’s 100% recycled, the glass is environmentally friendly. And because it’s colorful, the glass will allow your landscape project to take on a striking life of its own.

Aquariums

Tumbled glass chips are an exciting substitute for ordinary aquarium gravel. Its translucence lends itself to under lighting and the mixed colors provide beautiful underwater hues. Furthermore, because the glass remains motionless, it allows beneficial bacteria to grow within the glass chips in essentially the same way as traditional aquarium gravels. Spoiled fish are happy fish…spice up your aquarium’s display appeal and style with glass.

Terrazzo

Never before have such vibrant colors been available to designers of terrazzo flooring. Recycled glass chips are a modern addition to an ancient flooring technique dating back to Michelangelo and the Renaissance. The unique affect of glass can transform an environmentally sustainable floor into a stunning work of art and can even increase the durability of a flooring installation.  As with traditional terrazzo marble, the smaller size glass chips provide a traditional look while larger size chips provide a bolder, more aggressive appearance.

Jelly Bean Glass

Smaller, kidney-shaped, irregularly sized glass pieces with polished edges range in size from apple seeds to standard marbles. Colors are reasonably consistent with a fairly translucent finish to them. The larger sizes (#3 and #2) compare most favorably to edible jelly beans in size and shape. The smaller sizes (#1 and #0) are simply irregularly shaped mini replicas of the candy. The blues and size #2 are most frequently ordered for various applications. Obviously, Jelly Bean Glass is not edible. Do not eat.

Countertops

Artisan crafted concrete countertops have grown in popularity over the years, providing customers the ability to customize the dimension, shape, color, and texture of their countertop surfaces. Recycled glass aggregates have been an equally popular additive to recent designs by adding color, variety and, most significantly, a third dimension—depth. Whether it’s a do-it-yourself vanity or a manufactured full-size slab, glass can bring out the shine in any countertop concept.

Swimming Pools

One of the many limitations of traditional plaster materials in swimming pools is lack of sparkle and depth. This is precisely where glass works its magic.  Whether in a terrazzo-like or exposed aggregate finish, faceted glass chips reflect and illuminate sunlight, adding an entirely unique dimension to any swimming pool.  Almost any combination of colors can be incorporated either alone or in combination with traditional pebbles or quartz. And because glass pebbles don’t react with harsh swimming pool chemicals, it may actually extend the life of your pool.
