Lightstreams Glass Tile Founder, David Knox 
Lightstreams Glass Tile's Mountain View, California factory | Lightstreams Glass Tile is an innnovative U.S. company passionate to create the highest quality and most beautifully complex glass tile for the finest architectural and residential properties. Lightstreams Glass Tiles are substantial and rich, and their visual complexity beckons one to gaze, touch, and be mesmerized by the glass. Taking a rare optical perspective into the world of glass tile manufacturing, Lightstreams designs and produces a very unique and robust collection of exclusive products. Lightstreams' glass formulas are optimized to gracefully balance the transmission and reflection of the entering light while maintaining each tile as a unique work of art. The unsurpassed robustness and visual quality of exclusive Lightstreams Glass Tile will elevate and differentiate the value of any installation. Lightstreams glass tiles are offered in larger sizes because foremost in their design is the exceptional clarity, depth, complex visual interest, rich internal color, and robustness of the glass. Lightstreams Glass Tiles flourish in large formats, like highest quality diamonds that can stand alone as solitaires, and are not restricted to tiny sizes in order to be viable as glass tile. It is Lightstreams' philosophy that the visual richness of deep, sensuous glass should be the focal point of a glass tile installation -- not large quantities of grout lines. Lightstreams Glass Tile is based on a history of using light as a medium of art, science, and purpose. Lightstreams' founder, David Knox , was also founder and president of Directed Light, an industrial laser company, and worked with crystal-based laser systems for 20 years. He has extensive knowledge and experience in light manipulation, thin film optics, and optical materials -- including glass. He sees light as a beautiful stream of energy which is ours to bend, shape, spread, change, and with which to live in harmony. David Knox's various articles on his artistic and technical expertise in the development and design of glass tile will help one understand why Lightstreams Glass Tile is so refreshingly unique from other glass tile products and a leader in glass design. Lightstreams Glass Tile is a U.S. domestic manufacturer, maintaining a factory in Mountain View, California, located about 40 miles south of San Francisco in the Silicon Valley. We manufacture our glass tiles from the finest domestic raw materials. The goal in the design of our factory is to maintain the "one-of-a-kind" nature of each glass tile without restricting the ability to produce the volumes required by the marketplace. To achieve that goal, we design and create our own proprietary formulas, machinery, tooling, and methodology which allows us to run consistently around the clock, and create the most stunning and unique glass tile exclusive to Lightstreams Glass Tile. Because the quality of Lightstreams Glass Tile is so high, we proudly post on our website, hundreds of close-up photographs of our glass in actual installations, and gladly provide samples, when appropriate. Lightstreams Glass Tile is committed to creating the finest glass tile, as well as maintaining the highest customer service.
