Glass Block in Healthcare Buildings
Healthcare facilities have demanding requirements for glazing — hygiene, durability, infection control, and the need for natural light in patient and clinical areas. Glass block meets these requirements in a way that conventional windows cannot.
Glass block surfaces are smooth and non-porous — easy to clean and resistant to the harsh cleaning agents used in healthcare environments. There are no frames, tracks, or hardware to harbor bacteria or require maintenance. And glass block provides natural light — which has documented benefits for patient recovery and staff wellbeing.
Hawkeye installs glass block in hospitals, clinics, medical office buildings, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare structures throughout Upstate New York.
