There was a time when glass block windows were strictly utilitarian. They were provided an extra level of security for basements, and were sturdy enough for factories and warehouses, and offered the privacy and light valued in bathrooms. They were functional, but not always beautiful.

Times have Changed

Glass blocks are not just for windows (although, the newer designs make a beautiful and functional statement). Today, they have become more versatile. They come in may styles and colors. They are comfortable being used as a shower stall in a bathroom, a counter in a store, or even a wall in an upscale home. With the many styles and colors available, the uses of glass blocks are limited only by your imagination.

One of the more innovative uses for glass blocks are loose glass blocks that have inspired a creative spark in crafters and artists alike. Quality Glass Block and Window offers three lines of glass block that are sure to excite any artist:
