3. Specification: Glass Block: Glass block windows were popular in the 1980s but overlooked until today as they are once again in the spotlight. Also known as glass bricks, glass blocks allow homeowners to enjoy outside light while maintaining privacy and adding sophisticated ambiance. Glass block windows have taken on a fresh, modern transformation used as exterior windows and inside partition walls, bathrooms and, skylights. There are many options available when considering glass block windows, including size, colors, and designs. This design guide provides the information you need to decide if glass block windows are a good option for your home and how to plan for the installation and use of glass blocks.
4. Specification: Glass Block:The original glass block windows were mouth-blown glass used during the 1800s to allow light in underground storage cellars. They could be found on ships, also creating a light source permeable to water. These primitive glass blocks were single panes of glass and without durability. In 1907, Friedrich Keppler engineered a process to use concrete frames for glass blocks, giving glass block windows more strength. By 1935, Corning GlassWorks improved the glass block window by joining two equally sized glass pieces to create a double-sided hollow block called the Corning-Steuben block. These blocks were lighter, let in more light, insulated better, and were hurricane-proof. This original design is still used to make glass block windows today.
Inspiration 1: Glass Block wall: I love this image because it includes glass block with modern touches to update the style of an outdated trend. Adding the black frame gives it a modern feel.
