CORE Product: CORE Glow Commercial Grade Marble
Installation Method: Medium Coverage embedded into Cement

One of our favorite projects! This 9 mile long trail, named the 'Historic Battlefield Hike and Bike Trail', is located in the City of Brownsville, Texas. Every year, they add a few more miles, and a little more glow. The residents of this friendly Gulf side city are loving it. A trail where you can see where you're going, without losing your view of the night sky! What a concept.

Sadu Pixel Matrix | Visual Arts Installation

Core Product: CORE Glow Ethereal Blue Beads
Installation Method: String, artistic talent, and a lot of work!

What a unique, creative, and genius use of our CORE glow beads! This 3 dimensional display of sadu artwork was created for public display in 2018 in Kuwait. The artist was kind enough to share his photos and details on his work:

The installation uses 1.75 kilometers (wow!) of bead stringing wire which is divided unevenly amongst 905 threads. It incorporates 7854 glow-in-the-dark beads (considered 'pixels' for this purpose) and 8759 earring stoppers (that's a lot!) to hold the beads and stringing wires in place.

Beautiful work! You can follow the artist on instagram at @tabtabai

Introducing the CORE Glow Zen Pathway or Garden Path, a stunning installation that seamlessly integrates CORE Glow to infuse both beauty and uniqueness, all while providing enchanting illumination.

Trail of Glow | Full Core Treatment

Core Product: CORE Glow Commercial Grade Marble
Installation Method: Light coverage top-dressing of resin-bonded permeable gravel pathway

This volunteer group located in Longview, Alberta, worked tirelessly to create a beautiful CORE gravel pathway using our gravel stabilizing panels, with stabilizing resin. But, that wasn't enough. Yes, we want to bike, walk and otherwise use our new trail system, but we want more! So, we gave it to them.
These projects that have glow sparkling in the pathways are our absolute favourite - this is our vision! Gorgeous public spaces that are eco-friendly and inspiring.
Ps. if you havent already, check out our blog on why permeable surfaces are so much better for the environment!
