Frequently Asked Questions – Glass Block Showers
FAQs
What is the advantage of a walk-in shower?
Walk-in glass block showers are simpler to clean and have a contemporary look. They’re easier to clean because there’s no door. We have beautiful glass block end blocks that finish off the end of a freestanding glass block shower wall with open entry.
What shower pan options work best with a glass block shower?
We can provide a custom-made solid surface shower base in any size or shape to accommodate a glass block shower wall partition. Glass block shower walls can also sit on top of a ceramic tile threshold.
Should I install the glass blocks one by one at the jobsite (like a bricklayer) or use a prefabricated custom glass block shower wall kit?
We highly recommend the prefabricated glass block shower wall kits. These are fabricated in our shop by skilled personnel who build glass block showers every day. You will receive a series of panels that are stacked at the jobsite like Legos. This can be done by a DIY’er or contractor who is not a “glass block guy.” It’s also difficult to find a bricklayer with glass block experience these days.
How can I design a glass block shower that is right for my space?
Call our team of experts at 800-635-1226. We have layout cards and samples to help design your shower space incorporating glass block shower walls.
What is a typical height for a glass block shower wall?
Most glass block showers are 10 courses high (10 x 8″ = 80″) or about 80″ tall.
Similar to shower doors, there’s no need to take it all the way to the ceiling. This also allows humidity to escape the shower.
How do I sequence installation of shower base, shower wall substrate, shower walls, and glass blocks?
You will always want to install your shower base first against the studs.
Second, install the wall substrate. Next, install your wall finishes—either our grout-free laminate shower wall panels or ceramic tile. Lastly, you install the glass block wall up against your finished wall—the glass block goes in last.
Are glass block showers private?
Most people select our Wave pattern glass block for showers, as it is textured to diffuse light and obscure visibility. This gives you moderate privacy while still letting natural or artificial light flow into the shower. For complete/maximum privacy, we also offer our Ice pattern.
Can glass block showers work in small bathrooms?
Yes. In fact, they’re often used in smaller bathrooms to open up the space. Since they allow light to pass through, the bathroom feels larger and brighter.
