Homeowners are constantly on the lookout for new ways to modernize the style of their homes. New trends always incorporate the latest must-have products, but with time every trend becomes dated. Unlike home remodeling projects that often require updating, like replacing unfashionable wallpaper or pink and turquoise ceramic tiles, glass block serves as a decorative feature that provides endless value and never goes out of style.
Unlike acrylic block, real glass block maintains its timeless and artistic reputation in any room. The various designs, colors and sizes of glass block allow for daylight, while providing security, privacy and a graceful look.

Design possibilities are endless with glass block. It is used for windows, walls, showers and more! Pittsburgh Corning, the only American glass block manufacturer, has focused its efforts on providing installation options for homeowners, making it easy to incorporate this classic accent in any room.

* When inviting guests into your home, make sure their first impression lasts! Prefabricated glass block windows are perfect to include in the entryway or at the peak of the staircase, inviting both light and guests into halls and foyers.

* Kitchens, dens and family rooms are the most common rooms used for entertaining. Impress your guests by serving appetizers and beverages from a new glass block bar or enhancing walls with glass block accents. The new mortar free installation system will simplify the whole process.

* Desiring that all-glass look for your home does not confine your remodeling aspirations. Glass block is great for making small rooms appear larger, such as the bathroom. Used for either remodeling or new construction projects, glass block shower kits include the glass block, customized shower pans, doors, and accessories for quick and easy installation.

* Interspersing colored and clear glass blocks can create a more relaxing and softer touch to a bathroom. Creating partitions or adding a backsplash around the sink with blue, rose or bronze colored glass block can create a striking appearance.
