Using Block Glass In Your Home

You can use block glass in any home if you want, but this is something that is especially useful, from a design perspective, if you have a smaller home. You may have an open floor plan in your home (or even your apartment) but want more privacy. In order to section off areas, you may find that you are closing off the feeling of openness that you need in a small place. This is when glass blocks can really help you out. They can provide some privacy while still leaving things feeling wide open and bright.

Believe it or not, you can use block glass to build an entire bathroom and still have the privacy that you want. While the glass is clear, the type of glass block that has a wavy surface actually prevents anyone from viewing you. They may see a vague outline of things in the bathroom, but they can not really see any details that may bother you. This might be something you want for just you and your spouse, but you still have that privacy. Even better, the block glass leaves you feeling as if light in everywhere, and can even help reflect that light around your space.

For a spectacular look, you can have a block glass wall that slowly descends as it goes out from a wall. That can leave you with a bit of separation between the living and dining rooms, for example, while leaving things wide open. You can find more types of block glass than you think too. You can get some that are pre-lit, and those can be amazing in the right space. You can also get some in colors that will go with your dcor. Just remember to get something you can live with because you may change dcor without wanting to take out and change your glass blocks.

You can use block glass anywhere in your home you wish. You can use it in your kitchen, but remember the grease can dull them substantially. You may have to clean them more often, but dont let that stop you if you think that is what you want. You can find this type of material in almost any home improvement store, or you can find some online. You may even find types online that you can not find anywhere else, at an amazing price to boot. Look around for inspiration and even instructions for a special touch to any home or apartment.
