          Frequently Asked Questions Colored, Frosted & Pattern Glass Blocks

          What colored, frosted and patterned glass block sizes are available?

          All the frosted and colored glass blocks are made in a 7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ x 3 1/8″ size. Note – these are a metric-sized blocks and cannot be used with American sized blocks. 

          Can I combine the blocks in the 3 ‘Euro series’ together?

          Yes and no. Since the ‘group 2’ blocks (bold shades) group is only for interior uses – you won’t want to use it with the other 2 series for a window project. For interior glass block showers – you can use all 3 series of blocks together. 

          What are the best ways to finish off the ends of a glass block wall? 

          The best way to finish off the end of a glass block wall is with a finished bullnose end block. Although there are 4 different colored glass block ends, there are many colors which are not available with finished ends. In these cases use a solid surface or granite cap to finish off the end.

          How are the glass block windows and wall assembled? Can this project be done by a do it yourself or a contractor working with the material for the first time?

          Since the glass block walls are assembled with pre-made vinyl strips with the Protect All fabrication system, they’re simple to install. You simple stack one section on another (even if the sections are curved).

          Glass block windows are made as complete sections (with or without a frame). They are a simple, modular installation. You won’t need to waste time (and spend a bunch of money) hiring an expensive mason who will install them block by block. The prefab method is not only quicker, but you’ll have smaller joints and install if far less time (saving you money).
