Glass blocks have come a long way from the utilitarian privacy windows of the past. Today, they’re a striking architectural element that blends light, color, and texture—perfect for adding personality to any space. One of the most creative ways to elevate your space with glass blocks is by using colored glass blocks. Whether you’re looking to make a bold design statement or add a touch of subtle color, Quality Glass Block and Window Company offers a wide variety of colored glass options to suit every aesthetic.
In this post, we’ll show you how to use colored glass blocks in your design and explore the unique features of our Mendini Collection, custom color line, and injected color glass blocks.
Why Choose Colored Glass Blocks?
Colored glass blocks can:
- Add visual interest and contrast to plain spaces
- Reflect and manipulate light in unique ways
- Serve as functional art in walls, partitions, bars, showers, or accent pieces
- Offer privacy without sacrificing style or light
Unlike painted walls or tile that may fade or go out of fashion, colored glass blocks have a timeless elegance and durability that makes them a smart long-term investment.
The Mendini Collection: Bold Color Meets Quality Craftsmanship
If you want to make a bold, vibrant statement, look no further than our Mendini Collection. These blocks are truly one-of-a-kind. Each block is infused with bright, saturated color, giving you stunning design options in hues like red, blue, green, yellow, and beyond.
These blocks are ideal for:
- Eye-catching accent walls
- Commercial applications such as modern office interiors
- Artistic installations where color is the focal point
The Mendini Collection isn’t just about looks—it’s also about performance. Manufactured by Seves Glass Block, each unit meets high standards for quality, safety, and light diffusion.
Custom Color Line: Subtle, Elegant, and Unique
Looking for color without overwhelming your space? Our Custom Color Line offers a soft, understated alternative. These blocks are specially treated so that the color appears along the edges of the block, creating a gentle hue that changes with the lighting throughout the day.
This line is perfect for:
- Residential bathrooms or kitchens where you want a hint of color
- Office spaces that need a pop without being distracting
- Combining multiple tones for a gradient or ombré effect
The beauty of this subtlety is that it complements both modern and traditional design styles without clashing with other elements in your decor.
Injected Color Glass Blocks: Rich Color with Depth
For something in between the boldness of Mendini and the subtlety of the custom line, consider Injected Color Glass Blocks. These blocks are treated with a process that infuses color into the glass itself, resulting in deeper tones and visual depth.
They work especially well for:
- Shower walls where you want privacy with a splash of personality
- Daylight-friendly partitions in restaurants, lounges, or home bars
We offer these in a range of popular shades, so you can easily match your existing color palette.
Design Tips for Using Colored Glass Blocks
- Create Patterns: Use different colors to form geometric or abstract patterns within a wall or panel.
- Light It Up: Pair your glass block installation with LED lighting to enhance the color effects at night.
- Use in Unexpected Places: Try colored glass blocks as transoms, stairwell features, or even outdoor garden elements.
