Why do we “hy-lite” that our windows are made from REAL GLASS block?

When choosing between real glass and acrylic glass block windows, there are several advantages to going with real glass:

Benefits of Real Glass Block Windows

  • Durability: Real glass blocks are known for their strength and resistance to scratching, whereas acrylic can be more prone to scratching and discoloration over time.
  • Clarity and Light Diffusion: Glass blocks offer better light diffusion and clarity, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and functional window.
  • Resistance to Weathering: Glass blocks are highly resistant to weather changes and will not yellow or warp like acrylic can over time.
  • Authentic Look and Feel: Real glass provides a timeless, classic look that enhances the architectural integrity of your home. The weight and texture of real glass also contribute to a more substantial and quality feel.
  • Low Maintenance: Glass blocks are easier to clean and maintain, as they resist mold and mildew better than acrylic blocks.

Opting for real glass block windows can add lasting value and appeal to your home, ensuring that you enjoy both the functional benefits and the aesthetic beauty for many years to come. Have you considered where you’d like to install them?

Fully assembled glass block windows

Fully assembled glass block windows

Did you know that we sell fully assembled custom made glass block windows? 

Pacific Glass Block Windows, LLC, is a glass block window manufacturer. What we mean by this is that we make customized glass block windows with frames. 

After you have determined the size of window frame you need, the next step in creating a custom-made real glass block window frame is to choose the series you prefer to fit your needs. 

The Premier Series glass block window is made from full 3” thick REAL glass blocks with powder-coated thermally enhanced aluminum frames. The Builders Series glass block window is made from economical 2” thick REAL glass blocks with heavy-duty extruded vinyl frames or thermally enhanced aluminum frames that offer all the benefits of our vinyl frames, plus superior performance in the very hot environments.

Next, choose the pattern of glass block from which you would like your window made. There are five patterns from which to choose in our Premier Series – Clarity, Pearl, Wave, Cross-rib, and Diamond. Our Builders Series has three patterns from which to choose – Wave, Ice, and Frost.

After you have chosen your preferred real glass block pattern, you then choose the type and color of frame you would like. There are a variety of color combinations from which to choose. 

Our exclusive 3-piece Premier Series aluminum frames were developed to allow separate colors for exterior and interior sides, and block energy transference with our thermally enhanced design. Powder-coat finishes will perform much better, especially in high use areas like baths and showers, because of their extreme durability.

Our heavy-duty Builder Series vinyl frames are profiled to shed water away from the glass on both sides, so the water won’t pool, and the glass and frame components will dry quickly after use so materials will not degrade from moisture over time.

We don’t sell individual glass blocks, we create one-of-a-kind custom-builtfully assembled glass block windows that are works of art, which will beautify your home or place of business that will last a lifetime.

Glass Block Windows Back In Style

Glass Block Windows Back In Style

The love affair with glass block windows started in the late 1800’s. But as time passed, the fashion became outdated as architect styles developed. However, due to ever-changing fads and fashions, glass block windows are now back in style!

For many years, standard clear glass windows were the norm when designing exterior windows for bathrooms and homes. However, trends in real estate indicate that new homeowners desire to bring back the style of the 1940s and are considering glass block windows more and more.

But do these glass block windows present many advantages to your home? Although some builders and architects don’t think they do, here at Pacific Glass Block Windows, we believe there are several advantages to having real glass blocks installed in your home:

• Real glass block windows provide energy-efficient lighting. Conventional glass windows

do not always provide adequate lighting, which means you may incur higher energy

costs, especially if a particular room needs to have lights on throughout the day.

• In addition, real glass block windows offer thermal insulation that prohibit air

infiltration, which can save approximately 25% of the heat that is lost through conventional windows.

• If you need to illuminate a large interior space, an exterior real glass block window wall

can be used to bring light into your indoor space with little additional cost.

• Safety and security are always a concern of home and business owners. Pacific Glass Block windows are strong and offer excellent protection from the harsh elements mother nature can throw at us.

• Privacy is another concern with conventional glass windows. To make sure no one can see inside, the exterior window must be installed high in the wall or covered with blinds or curtains. But with a real glass block window from Pacific Glass Block Windows, privacy is ensured by blocking the view inside while letting in the light.

• Pacific Glass Block Windows provide years of low-cost maintenance. There is no need for expensive cleaners; merely wash with a mild soap and rinse with water and you’re done. In addition, because there are no edges, dirt can’t build up making it easier to clean.

For your next new home or if you’re remodeling an older one, consider all the advantages and benefits you gain with real glass block windows from Pacific Glass Block Window.
