Glass Block Shower System
New York, New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia
A Glass Block Shower System is a cost-effective alternative to get the beauty of a custom-built glass block shower with reduced installation requirements and labor coordination.
In considering this alternative, questions may be raised about the material characteristics and code rating of the Base in a Glass Block Shower System.
The Lucite® cast acrylic surface of all Pittsburgh Corning Shower Bases is among the glossiest, highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other materials. With normal use, Lucite® cast acrylic will retain its beauty with only a minimal amount of care.
This Base is specially designed to accommodate glass block through molded channels that serve as guides for block placement. Also, they are constructed to support the extra weight of glass block walls.
The installation options available from the Pittsburgh Corning Shower System are mortar Installation or the mortar-less ProVantage® Glass Block Installation System with special spacer system and joint finish.
The Base is code approved. The NAHB Research Center has certified the Base to meet Z124.2. Glass block installed with mortar is exempt from the safety glazing requirements of all model building codes. Pittsburgh Corning offers a 3 year limited warranty on the Shower System Base.
The Custom Acrylic Base from Pittsburgh Corning is:
- Designed to accommodate and support glass block
- Installed like traditional shower bases to help reduce installation time and labor coordination
- Stain-resistant, durable, easy to clean
- Code approved
