Glass Block is a building material that has truly kept up with the times.

During the design phase of a project, you want to find building material that accentuates the aesthetics of the design, while also providing the basic needs of security, energy conservation, and low maintenance. Glass Block really checks all of the boxes. Because Pittsburgh Corning has  continually responded to changing trends in building design, Glass Block is an excellent choice to accent modern residential and commercial designs.

An example is the the modern shapes and color alternatives of Glass Block. This versatility offers unique aesthetics in rooms such as Home offices, Home Entertainment Centers, and Living Rooms in open floor plans.

In addition to the aesthetic versatility of Glass Block, there are also the advantages of easy installation, energy efficiency and weather resistance. Glass Block meets Daylighting requirements and can add to LEED ratings
