Why use Glass Blocks?
The designer can use glass blocks to provide a source of natural light into a home or commercial building with the added advantages of being able to maintain privacy and insulate against heat loss and noise.

Natural Light - Glass Blocks provide the designer with a means of allowing natural light into buildings through walls that may not normally contain a window plus they can be used as internal walls to further promote natural light through the building.

Insulation - by using glass blocks as an external window, instead of normal glass, you can reduce the heat loss through the window by 52%.

Privacy - Glass Blocks are available in a range of patterns. The privacy offered by the blocks varies from completely clear to completely obscure and includes a coloured range.

Noise - Excellent acoustic insulation properties are offered by glass blocks making them ideal as office partitions or for use as windows in homes that are built close to each other or close to the road.

Durability - There is very little maintenance required for glass block walls other than to give them a clean every so often. But because there are two skins of patterned glass, the glass blocks do not often show signs of needing to be cleaned. Glass Blocks have been in constant use since early 1900 - they are a timeless product that can be used in any type of architecture.

Strength - The skins of glass blocks are very thick when compared to normal glass and glass block walls are constructed with metal reinforcing between them. Often glass blocks are used as security windows.
