Glass Block Shower Ideas

Designing a glass block shower starts from the root of the bathroom. This means looking at every nook and cranny of your bathroom. This is because glass blocks will add such a beautiful look to your bathroom that you want to make sure all other things in the washroom compliment it.

Most home owners have a hard time trying to figure out where to start working on a glass block shower. It is an overwhelming project after all.

The best place to start is by grabbing a simple notepad or piece of paper and drawing out your bathroom. Draw the current layout of your bathroom and draw the sink, toilet and current shower. Grab a measuring tape and take dimension of the washroom. Your drawing does not have to be exactly to scale, but using measurements will help you understand how much space you have to work with.

Space is the most important factor you have to determine for installing glass block shower. If space is limited then it will determine how much material you need also how exactly to build the shower with glass blocks.

No door/Walk-in Shower

If you have a small bathroom then you can get rid of the door to your shower. This will save you a lot of space in your bathroom. Just make sure you install an overhead shower head to stop the water from spraying outside the shower. This also goes along with having a great shower enclosure to help keep the water inside.

Glass Block Shower kits

An easy way to get started with your glass block shower is by using shower kits. There are many different glass block kits that can accommodate any size or style. There are shower kits that are walk-in without a door to standard shower kit’s which have a door in the front.

The benefit of shower kits is that most of the materials are already put together and are properly sealed. This will reduce any water that might leak out from the shower. This also reduces the amount of time you need to spend on a project.

Natural Light

This type of design works best with a window in the bathroom and is meant for bathrooms that are dark. The glass block will help transfer natural light into your shower and put a smile on your face. The natural sunlight will make you feel as if you are taking a shower outside.

Using Stones instead of Tile

Have a little bit of fun with your shower. Try using a stone pattern in the wall tiles instead of plain colored tiles. The lights reflecting through the glass block hitting the tiles will look beautiful. The stones will give your bathroom a natural look.
