Glass Block Lights | Glass Block Lighting

If you love different things such as lighting that is unique and impressive, then you might consider glass block lights. Trust me when I tell you that glass block lighting is unlike anything else. In addition to being unique, a glass block light offers a number of benefits, which we will discuss in this article. For some reason, when people want to do something special to the home, they overlook the possibilities associated with glass block lights, which is a real shame.

We do see an increase in the popularity of glass block windows, which help increase outdoor lighting, add better privacy, increase security, add insulation, and reduce noise, but glass block lights can do all this and more. In addition to being used for windows and walls, you can also use glass block lights outside, which would be beautiful around a garden or pond area. Without doubt, this type of lighting is simply beautiful.

Therefore, if you want to add drama and flare to your home, consider adding glass block lights. For instance, if you have a window of your home made from glass blocks, you could easily exchange the four corners and center block with the lighted option or choose a random design. At night, the glass block lights would illuminate to create a stunning look that can be enjoyed from both inside and outside.

Now, if you want to use glass block lighting outside, you might create a short wall leading up to the house with beautiful plants and flowers behind. Keep in mind that you can choose plain blocks or those with special designs such as deer, frogs, flowers, or whatever you like. Then at dusk when the glass block lights are turned on, the walkway looks amazing, also providing you with the opportunity to enjoy the plants and flowers at night.

Although some people will hire a professional to install glass block lights, this is a weekend project that can be completed without too much trouble. You would first need to order the number of blocks you plan to use and then with mortar and caulk, install them. Typically, your glass block light will come with installation instructions that are not difficult so if you take your time, you will be enjoying the new look of your home in no time.

Just remember that when installing glass block lights, they are not intended to be load bearing. In addition, you always want to measure the space twice, choosing the appropriate number and size of blocks for your project. We also recommend that prior to doing the actual installation of the glass block lighting that you do a trial run using wood blocks of the same size to make sure you have the exact fit. Once the glass block lights are in place and illuminated, you can be sure you will be the envy of all your family and friends.
