The history in glass wall murals
According to studies, glass that we know today was invented sometime between 2000 and 3000 BC in either Egypt or Mesopotamia. Mankind used natural glass, called Obsidian, for at least 700000 to craft sharp blades, arrow heads and other tools. What you have in glass wall murals are relics of a very ancient art that has shaped our planet and its cultures. Due to the discovery of glass blowing, the material became more easy to produce and thus also more affordable. As production techniques continued to evolve, during the 13th Century a famous type of glass called "cristallo" was developed by Angelo Barovier. Arguably the most significant modern development came in 1903, when American Inventor Michael J. Owens created the first automated glass blowing machine which enabled the mass production of things like the glass bottles we use today. As you can tell by now, glass wall murals carry so much history with them. This will make your interiors truly stand out while also providing incredible, visual weight.
Creation and formation
To make something quite complex a bit simpler, glass basically is sand that has been melted down and chemically transformed. Once the sand is melted, it is either poured into molds to make the aforementioned bottles, glasses and other containers, or "floated". This means that it is poured on top of a big vat of molten tin metal to make perfectly flat sheets of glass for windows. You can see the end product of this in glass wall murals like "Sunset in Forest Through Broken Window", albeit in a broken form. Depending on the sand mixture, glass can have a variety of properties like colours and the strength of the material. This also bring us to the interesting conundrum if glass is actually solid or liquid, with the answer being both and neither at the same time. Glass can also be classified as "frozen supercooled liquid", which might be a tad confusing. Glass wall murals like "Clouds Reflected in a Modern Glass Facade" are a great example though why this term really makes sense. This stunning motif really combines the appearance of solidity and the almost liquid beauty of glass. Your space will benefit massively from glass wall murals such as this.
Impact of glass wall murals
We could go all day about the different advantages glass has brought to us. It is used for protection, stimulation, enhancement, and so on. You can see it every day in so many different forms and yet we tend to overlook it. With glass wall murals, you will find a whole new appreciation for the material while at the same time transforming your interior design. The best thing about glass nowadays though is that it is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without any major loss in quality or purity. In this way, glass wall murals can be proof that you also really care about the environment. In a 2013 study, it was shown that almost 40% of all glass containers were recycled, which is equivalent to taking more than 200000 cars off the road each year! You can share this great bit of trivia with family and friends who will admire your glass wall murals. The glass mural "Puzzle Reflection" is a great example of just what kind of texture and composition these motifs can bring to your residential, recreational or even corporate space.
