I Bet You Did Not Know These Things About Glass Blocks!

While many people are familiar with using glass block in their homes and commercial spaces to bring in light with privacy, we have many less-known product applications we would like to share with you!

Glass Block Showers

Create a walk-in shower with glass blocks instead of the “same old hard to keep clean” flat glass shower doors. Our prefabricated glass block shower kits are completely customizable and made to order – your shower (custom shower bases to receive the glass block walls available along with laminate shower wall panels).

Fire Rated Glass Blocks

We carry right in stock special glass blocks that are certified for 60-minute and 90-minute fire-rating requirements. These are available in Wave pattern and Clearview patterns.

Acrylic Blocks

We supply lightweight acrylic blocks that are used frequently in the film industry/photography industry for quick assembly of backdrops. These can also be disassembled for re-use easily.  We supply the accessories needed to assemble these blocks right in stock as well. 

Glass Block Basement Windows

Many people are “catching on” to the idea of installing glass blocks to replace rotting, leaking, and/or insecure basement windows.  We supply custom prefabricated glass block panels for this purpose.  As glass block is mortared into home foundations, they are very secure from break-ins, provide maximum light with privacy, and are a durable solution.  Glass block basement windows are available also with optional fresh air vents and dryer vent blocks. 

Glass Block Bar Bases

Lots of people use glass blocks in their “man caves” and nightclubs use glass block in commercial bar bases.  These draw interest as they are not “same old, same old.”

Solid Glass Blocks and Solid Glass Bricks

We supply bullet-resistant glass blocks that are 3” thick of solid glass. These are used in high vandalism areas, prisons, windscreens, and in many other creative ways. 


We carry these many glass block products right in stock along with the accessories needed for successful installation.  Our technical support for glass block projects is second to none. Call Eastern Glass Block at 800-635-1226 and ask for a Free Design Consultation if you have a project in mind.
