4 x 4 x 4 glass block patterns for shower, wall or window projects
How to use the new 4 x 4 x 4 glass block size–To create a running bond/ subway tile look and simultaneously create a glass block shower, wall or window the new 4 x 4 block is used at the sides of the wall or window and is accompanied by 4” x 8” blocks as the primary units in the center. Combining these 2 sizes will create the traditional brick or subway tile design to match with exterior brick, block or commercial walls or interior tile shower walls.
Where to use this new block – Some common places to use the block commercially would be install as a window or wall around brick courses or as an interior partition wall to separate work spaces while still allowing light to flow from one spot to another.
In home projects the blocks can be used in a bathroom remodeling project as a shower wall, in a kitchen as a backsplash/window – or wherever you’d like the running bond architectural design and the ability to move light.
What patterns are available – The 4 x 4 x 4 glass block masonry unit is available in patterns which provide different amounts of light, privacy and design. For the maximum light and sight the Vue pattern will be best. To provide moderate privacy with a flexible design aesthetic choose the Decora pattern. For maximum privacy the Icescapes patterns is available.
How to make it cool – You don’t have to settle for a clear glass block any more. If you want to add one of kind of styling add in some etched, colored or frosted glass blocks to make the wall, shower, backsplash or window really pop.

These 4 x 4 x 4 blocks are the most expensive of any of the glass blocks because they are made in very small quantities (basically they are a block to use mostly at the sides of a wall to create a running bond look. These blocks retail at $60/block (call us for quantity pricing).
Yes – these blocks can be frosted or colored – there would be a hole drilled in them using a patented process to infuse the color

could you tell me the prices of 4x4x4 in color, clear, frost. and ice?
