GBA Architectural Products + Services Introduces Lumextm LED Paver System To Transform Luxury Rooftop Design
As rooftop spaces continue to evolve into valuable extensions of hotels, office buildings, multifamily developments, universities, healthcare facilities, mixed-use projects, and brownstones, architects are seeking innovative rooftop deck materials that combine beauty, safety, durability, and functionality. LumexTM LED Pavers provide a distinctive solution by incorporating factory-installed LED lighting directly into precast concrete pavers, eliminating the need for field modifications while delivering clean architectural lines and dramatic nighttime illumination.
Unlike traditional hardscape lighting systems that rely on exposed fixtures or post-installation drilling, the patented LumexTM system integrates precision-engineered LED technology within each paver. The result is a refined lighting solution that enhances wayfinding, improves pedestrian safety, and creates memorable rooftop experiences without compromising the integrity of the paving system.
"LumexTM gives architects a completely new way to think about rooftop environments," said Steve Boesch, Vice President of GBA Architectural Products + Services. "Today's rooftops are no longer simply mechanical spaces. They have become destinations for gathering, entertaining, dining, and relaxing. By combining architectural glass with integrated LED lighting, designers can create rooftop environments that are every bit as impressive after sunset as they are during the day."
The LumexTM system complements GBA's growing collection of rooftop architectural products, including walkable skylights, structural glass flooring, glass brick, glass block, and architectural glass pavers. Together, these integrated solutions enable architects to create rooftop environments that maximize usable space while incorporating natural daylight, architectural lighting, premium finishes, and long-term building performance.
Ideal applications include:
Hotel rooftop terraces
Brownstone outdoor living spaces
Rooftop restaurants and bars
Multifamily amenity decks
Corporate campuses
Office rooftop gathering spaces
Universities
Public plazas
Luxury residential rooftop terraces
Mixed-use developments
Because LumexTM pavers are compatible with elevated pedestal paver systems, they can be incorporated into complete rooftop assemblies that protect roof waterproofing, improve drainage, and simplify future maintenance. The illuminated pavers can also be integrated alongside walkable skylights, allowing architects to create cohesive rooftop environments that bring natural daylight into the building below while providing elegant illumination above.
Beyond aesthetics, LumexTM supports the growing demand for experiential architecture by helping designers activate outdoor environments after dark, improve navigation through subtle wayfinding, and create signature architectural features that distinguish commercial properties in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
"Our role extends well beyond supplying products," continues Boesch. "We collaborate with architects, developers, contractors, and owners to help integrate lighting, structural glass, rooftop systems, and specialty architectural products into complete design solutions that elevate both building performance and the user experience."
