You can go ahead and throw away the blinds and the curtains because they are beautiful by themselves. 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. They light up and come in a wide array of colors. They are safe and do not put off heat. This can add a whole new dimension to your bathroom.
