Window Tinting Tampa Has Glass Block Covered
Glass Block Looks Great, But…..
![]() |
Why do home and business owners love glass block?
- The thickness of the blocks provide durability while allowing light into a space
- They add privacy and reduce sound from the outside
- An opaque or transparent look can be chosen
- There are different block sizes and patterns available for visual appeal
“Blocks sure make my family room look awesome!” |
What problems are commonly found with the use of glass block?
- Along with the transmission of light, glass block allows solar heat to build up and cause unbearable discomfort.
- Glare often becomes extremely intense.
- Unfiltered UV rays heighten exposure for skin cancer and fade interior furnishings.
HEAT AND GLARE INTENSE WITHOUT ANY FILM |
BLOCKS WITHOUT FILM / BLOCKS WITH FILM ![]() |
What steps have been taken in the past to resolve these issues?
- Blinds and curtains have been used but they only cover the beauty of the glass and darken rooms. They do NOT eliminate the entry of solar heat.
- Installed exterior sun screens which often conflict with HOA rules, darken rooms, do little to reduce heat AND can make matters worse by causing additional heat.
- Avoiding the use of rooms with glass block during peak sun times of the day.
