Showers, Walls and Bars

Glass Block Showers

Inside the home, showers are the most popular application for glass block.  Showers have to have walls, why build them with drywall and tile when they can be constructed with glass block? 

Glass block provides an openness to a shower that you just don’t get with a framed wall.  Light is shared between the shower and the rest of the bathroom making it feel less claustrophobic. 

Glass block isn’t limited to straight walls either.  There are a variety of shapes available to make 22.5° 45°, or 90° turns or even sweeping radius walls.  Finished end blocks are available in several patterns to complete the wall without additional materials. 

Glass Block Bars

Whether it’s a bar in the family room or an island in the kitchen, glass block is a classy material for that application.  A vast selection of patterns, sizes, shapes, and colors are available to choose from.

Glass Block Interior and Exterior Walls

Dividing space with glass block provides privacy and decoration to virtually any room or exterior wall.  Sharing light between spaces makes those spaces feel larger.  Whether it’s an interior wall dividing two rooms, or an exterior wall keeping out the elements while allowing the natural light in, there is no other building product that makes such a dynamic impact on your space.

Privacy can be maintained via certain patterns, add bold colors for an art-deco design, or subtle pastel colors to compliment the rest of the décor.
