Clear

The Clear is essentially patternless. If you want a transparent window that allows the most possible light to pass through, this is the one.

Glass block manufacturers may call this or similar patterns Clear, Clarity, Vue, Smooth, or others.

Clear is the choice when you want to see in our out of the window or wall and want the most natural light available to come in.

Available Sizes:  8x8x3, 6x8x3, 6x6x3, 4x8x3 (nominal sizes, actual sizes ¼” smaller in width & height)

Frost

Frost is essentially a Clear block that has been etched on both exposed surfaces. It will have the appearance of matte white tile.

Only SEVES catalogs Satin or Frosted surface finishes.

Frost is the choice when you want absolute privacy.  Light transmission is greatly diminished due to the surface treatment.  And when backlit it looks similar to a glowing white tile.

The surface treatment that makes this block absolute obscure can also make this block nearly transparent when wet, so be aware when your application can be wet on both sides at the same time.

Available Sizes:  8x8x3, 6x8x3, 6x6x3, (nominal sizes, actual sizes ¼” smaller in width & height)

Bronze

Bronze is the same as Wave except that it’s made with bronze tinted glass. This is a great option if you have a tan, brown, or other natural colored brick or paint.
SEVES is the only manufacture who makes this colored block in 3 standard imperial sizes.

Bronze provides the same degree of light transmission and privacy as the Wave, but with a brown or bronze tine.

Available Sizes:  8x8x3, 6x8x3, 6x6x3, (nominal sizes, actual sizes ¼” smaller in width & height)

Atkis (Not regular inventory)

Atkis is another decorative geometric pattern unique to SEVES. It provides for a high degree of light transmission and a moderate amount of privacy.

Available Sizes:  8x8x3, 6x8x3, 6x6x3, 4x8x3 (nominal sizes, actual size ¼” smaller in width and height)

Alpha (Not regular inventory)

Alpha is the last of the decorative 3 inch thick patterns from SEVES. This pattern provides maximum light and transparency.

Available Sizes: 8x8x3 (nominal sizes, actual size is ¼” smaller in width and height)
