Glass Block in Multifamily Buildings
Multifamily residential buildings — apartment complexes, condominiums, and mixed-use developments — frequently specify glass block for common areas, stairwells, corridors, laundry rooms, and parking structures. The appeal is straightforward: glass block provides natural light and privacy while requiring virtually no maintenance over the life of the building.
For property owners and managers, glass block is a low-maintenance glazing solution that eliminates the ongoing cost of window repair and replacement in common areas. Once installed correctly, glass block panels last for decades without attention.
