Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) July 08, 2014

Pittsburgh Corning Corporation, a leader in the glass block industry for over 75 years, debuted the Expressions Collection at the 2014 AIA Convention in Chicago, June 26 to 28. The Expressions Collection is a decorative glass block line that increases capabilities to custom design glass block with images, colors and logos. The customizable glass block was created for use in commercial, educational, government, institutional, and residential buildings.

The Expressions Collection will be available in the 4th Quarter of 2014. The AIA Convention showcases the newest and most innovative products, with exhibitor booths and live demos. Convention registrants are eager to learn about new materials, products, and technology.
