In the process of bathroom renovations, many homeowners are eliminating the existing bathtub instead of a walk-in shower. There are numerous shower enclosures available but to add a touch of luxury along with practicality, many people are turning to glass block showers in San Antonio.
Compliment any décor:
The blocks are not solid; they consist of two identical halves which, when fused together, result in a hollow block. This design is a very good sound insulator, and as they are produced in a host of different designs and configurations, they will compliment any bathroom design. Because the blocks are laid one-at-a-time, like bricks, this type of wall is ideal for use in bathrooms that are not shaped in the traditional manner, which is a square or rectangular room.
Benefits of glass block walls:
Glass blocks are ideal for use in a shower, they are easy to clean, and it is hard to break one. Although they would not be employed in a typical bathroom, glass blocks are available that can withstand just about anything, including hurricanes, fire, earthquake, and even bullets.
Glass blocks allow for light without disrupting style. It is not possible to see detail through a glass block due to the surface designs and colors. They are ideal for the outside wall of the shower as well as the interior walls. Glass block showers in San Antonio do not have to have square corners; they are available with rounded corner and can easily accommodate angles, or even dramatic curves.
Glass blocks are very flexible, although they are usually found as a shower enclosure; they can be utilized in other areas as well. Consider replacing an existing window with glass blocks above a spa tub or a low wall can be used to separate the toilet from the adjoining vanity area. Because of the beauty of glass blocks, the walk-in shower can become the centerpiece of a beautiful bathroom remodel.
