What surprises people most when entering and walking on the glowing white surface in this particular Private Residence (Williamsburg, VA) is when they find out they are walking on a sea of glass! Yes, GLASS! Not marble, not granite, but GLASS! Nathan Allan has created a very fresh, unique flooring surface, which is smooth to touch on the majority of the glass surface, yet has an almost invisible safety finish permanently embedded in the glass surface. THE GLASS Nathan Allan’s Glass Flooring incorporates features which are visually stunning, while also providing a safety finish which provides comfort to everyone walking on the glass. Our Sandstone texture is forged into the bottom surface of the glass, while our exclusive Glass Sandpaper safety finish is fused onto the walking surface. To enhance all features, we added a bright, sparkling, White Metallic color finish throughout each flooring panel. SPECIFICATIONS Each Glass Flooring panel is produced in 1/2″ (12mm) thick, Low Iron, tempered safety glass. Tempered glass provides added strength, insuring that the Glass Flooring can accept a heavy load. Panels vary in size and dimension, with most panels measured at a block size of 5’0 x 6’0 (1500mm x 1800mm). Perimeter Edge panels were carved and shaped to fit tightly against the curved walls. Glass Sandpaper, ASTM tested in labs with the highest slip-coefficient safety ratings, is fused onto the walking surface, to provide a very comfortable and effective safety feature. Flooring Glass Details: 1/2″ (12mm) thick, Low iron tempered safety glass Flat Polished Edges Glass Sandpaper on walking surface Sandstone texture on bottom surface White Metallic color finish on bottom surface Panels sizes up to 5’0 x 6’0 Approximately 800 square feet of glass flooring Perimeter panels shape cut to fit Almost overshadowed by the spectacular flooring is a 1.5” thick, Heavy Glasstop, Crescent shaped, with Nathan Allan’s Rocky Mountain texture. DESIGN A White Sea of Glass flooring is the finished result of combining a light Sandstone texture on the bottom glass surface, with the added touch of a sparkling White Metallic color finish. Combined with our Glass Sandpaper safety finish, and the natural and artificial light sources, our Glass Flooring shimmers within the entire entrance space. INSTALLATION Using very important installation techniques, Nathan Allan worked hand in hand with great team of professionals: Vicki Bristow, designer, W. M. Jordan Company, GC, and Pompei Inc, glass flooring installer. Templates were produced for all perimeter edge panels, and every shaped panel. All flooring panels are secured to the substrate with special adhesives, and joints are filled with matching color sealants. “A beautiful project is always enhanced when working with quality, prestigious builders, and talented trade’s people. The tight organization and open communication by all the team members contributed greatly to a project proceeding seamlessly, with the incredible visual results to prove it.” Barry Allan – Director Photo credit: Morgan Howarth

Spray-Finished Living Room Ceiling One of the most technically demanding portions of the project was the decorative ceiling inside the living room. Because of the intricate plaster design, brushing or rolling would have left unwanted texture and visible lap marks. Instead, the room was transformed into a temporary spray booth. Every piece of furniture was removed. ​ Window treatments were taken down. Every inch of crown molding was meticulously masked. Floors, walls, and surrounding finishes were completely protected with plastic before the ceiling was professionally spray finished. Between the decorative ceiling patterns, damaged areas were carefully repaired and blended before the final finish was applied, creating a uniform appearance while preserving the ceiling's original architectural beauty. ​ kitchen.jpg Chef's Kitchen Woodgrain Finish The chef's kitchen required a very different type of craftsmanship. Rather than traditional staining, portions of the millwork were painted using specialty wood-graining techniques that recreated the warmth and depth of stained wood. ​ This decorative finishing process gives painted surfaces the appearance of authentic stained wood while maintaining consistency throughout the kitchen's architectural details. ​ Stairway Painting Around Historic Woodwork Perhaps nowhere is craftsmanship more noticeable than on a staircase. ​ Historic stairways feature countless transitions between painted walls and stained wood trim, each requiring perfectly straight cut lines without damaging surrounding finishes. ​ Painting around original woodwork is often one of the most revealing indicators of an experienced painter. Every transition throughout this Marble Cliff staircase was completed with careful attention to preserving the home's historic character. dining.jpg Dining Room Door Staining & Foyer Painting The dining room opens directly onto the outdoor entertaining space through beautiful new wood French doors. To protect the new wood while highlighting its natural character, Classic applied: Two carefully layered stain coats Three coats of oil-based protective finish The dining room ceiling was then painted to create a crisp contrast that allows the warmth of the wood doors to become a focal point within the space. ​ The foyer establishes the home's character immediately upon entry. ​ Classic carefully painted both the walls and ceiling, preserving the crisp transitions between the historic trim and surrounding architectural elements while creating a clean backdrop for the home's original craftsmanship. Painting Historic Homes Throughout Marble Cliff & Upper Arlington Many of Central Ohio's finest homes were built generations ago using materials and craftsmanship rarely found today. ​ Painting these homes requires patience, technical expertise, and an understanding of how each material responds to modern coating systems. ​ Whether restoring decorative plaster ceilings, staining new architectural woodwork, refinishing millwork, or completing whole-home interior painting, Classic Papering & Painting approaches every project with the same philosophy: Exceptional preparation produces exceptional finishes.
