We are all very excited this week because we have started to produce the Solar Roadways! What an exciting project! We want to share a couple of things:
Here is an amazing video of Scott Brusaw's speech at Google:
We recently completed and shipped a custom glass flooring product for the new Delta Airlines T4 terminal at JFK New York. This is a very exciting project for us because of the visibility involved in a prestigious project such as JFK, but also due to the fact that we approached this project in a green manner.
Jockimo Inc. is very proud to announce that we have been awarded the sole provider of speciality glass on a ground breaking project with Solar Roadways!
Solar Roadways has received two contracts to date from the Federal Highway Administration and we have developed, in conjunction with Solar Roadways, a cast textured glass surface that can handle heavy traffic while passing sunlight through to solar cells beneath.

We are proud to announce the completion of the Studio Osman Akan new sculpture, "Fragmenta". Located in Anchorage, Alaska the sculpture includes 300 panels of our DichroGlass™. The panels are 24” x 24” and are laminated with polished edges. We drilled a 1-1/2” diameter hole in center of each panel to accommodate mounting hardware.

We are proud to announce our ability to provide custom shapes with our Liquid Lava™ liquid filled products. The addition of new machinery allows us to provide shapes and sizes that "competitors" cannot and frankly have yet to think of. The attached image is a candy shape that we are currently producing for a high end candy store located in Corona Del Mar, CA that we just received an order on. As soon as the tiles are installed we will post installation photos for all to see.
Featured on ABC Extreme Home Makeover, HGTV'd and Fine Living TV, Liquid Lava™ products are exciting modular panels consisting of liquid sealed within the tiles. The tiles are resilient, and when pressure is applied, the liquid within the tiles literally swirls around one's feet.
Many people think that glass flooring is a new product - the "latest hot new trend". In actuality, glass floors have been a feature of architectural design for approximately 100+ years. Of course 100 years ago the safety standards that are in place now were not in existence. Glass floor panels "back in the day" were typically poured cast glass 1" thick plus and not laminated for safety. Many of the 100+ year old installations are only now being updated and replaced due to wear and tear and to meet current safety standards. Hopefully this assures the owner, architect, interior designer, and contractor that Glass Flooring is an enduring product.
The second myth in regard to glass floor panels is that the walking surface of glass floors is slippery. In this matter we encourage you to rely on Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) testing. UL410 specifically states that a floor must exceed .5 coefficient of friction (COF) to receive a UL rating. In fact, Glass Floor made to meet UL410 and tested by UL exceed the COF of many popular flooring surfaces such as marble, granite, and the like.
