Light and private
A successful way to optimise light transmission, limit heat loss and ensure privacy in the bathroom is to install glass blocks from National Glass
Most rooms in our homes are designed to enjoy the benefits of natural light, but in the bathroom, where privacy is a consideration, this may not always be a practical option.
Gary Walden of National Glass says glass blocks are a good solution. The blocks range from completely clear to fully opaque, allowing you to achieve the exact level of privacy you need.
The glass blocks are available in a choice of patterns, sizes and colours, including capping blocks and variable-angle corner blocks, to complement your decor and design.
Because the patterns are on the inner surface of the block, the smooth exterior is easy to keep clean. The hollow structure of the blocks provides excellent insulation, similar to that of double glazing, says Walden.
"Glass blocks are also very strong, making them safe for use as full-height walls," he says.
National Glass also specialises in the installation of glass blocks.
