  • I have always wanted to make a glass floor or glass deck so I got a bunch of glass blocks from Home Depot and made this Glass Deck with LED lights underneath it.

    You could sandblast the blocks. They would diffuse the light and be a bit less slippery.

      My thought would be to hit the underside, so you have the diffusion, but still keep the reflective top he likes.

      And if you didn't want to mess with hydrofluoric acid etchers and-the-like then maybe a spray-on coating... to the underside, naturally.

      @@markzambelli I liked J. Joy's suggestion to sand blast. I suppose I used the word 'etch' a little generically. Before seeing their comment on sand blasting, I was thinking a grinder with a flap disk.

      Ever seen Tron Legacy? Kevin Flynn’s house has the light up floor but also uses white Victorian furniture. Some components of the chairs and tables were transparent and behind the scenes footage reveals that they were acrylic with frosted ends, allowing the light to pass through and weave around the furniture. I don’t know how difficult that would be but i think the furniture should make use of the light from below.

    Would be great for a club or similar location, where people hang out after dark.
    Will the glass stones hold up to being walked on with sandy shoes all the time though? I would imagine, that they become rather scratched and dull after a while. Although that might not make them less pretty at night...just at daytime, maybe.
