These types of windows are also energy efficient and give added security. Privacy Wall You may want to separate your toilet from the rest of the bath. Or you may want to close off your bathtub for privacy. Not only does this type of wall give a light and airy feel to the bath but it will look like a work of art. Build a Shower Stall You can create a beautiful custom made shower. There are many do-it-yourself kits available that come with the blocks, base and doors. You can also use these blocks to build a stand or support wall beneath your tub. For special lighting effects there is a new type of glass block that uses fiber optics.
