If you are planning a remodeling project, don't overlook glass block windows.
Glass block is a hot remodeling idea -- and a cool design technique that also offers privacy, security and energy savings.
There are many styles and options from which to choose. There are attractive
colors and patterns in plastic and glass, in individual blocks, kits and ready-to-install units for use in both windows and freestanding walls (in both straight and curved designs).
Glass blocks are also energy-efficient. Much like double-pane thermal windows, they have a vacuum-filled space that insulates.
Beyond their beauty, versatility and efficiency, they also offer security against break-ins. Solid bulletproof glass blocks are available; they are virtually indestructible. There are inserts for ventilation, too.
