Glass Block FAQ
Are kits available in different glass
block patterns?
Yes. Kits are available in either the
Decora® or IceScapes® patterns.
Is there a longer lead time for the
different base colors or door styles?
Yes, kits with base colors other than white, bone,
or biscuit will take an extra two weeks for delivery.
What materials other than what come
in the kit are required for installation?
Glass block mortar, plumbing fixtures, and ceramic
tile (or tile board) for rear walls need to be purchased
separately.
Can shower bases and doors be purchased
separately?
Yes, but there is no true advantage in doing so. Contact
Pittsburgh Corning Customer Service for prices if required.
Does Pittsburgh Corning offer a warranty
on the Shower System?
Yes, as follows:
Glass Block and Doors - 5 year limited warranty
Shower Bases - 3 year limited warranty
Are the bases and shower components
code approved?
The NAHB Research Center has certified the bases to
meet Z124.2. Glass block installed with mortar is exempt
from the safety glazing requirements of all model building
codes.
Can the glass block in the kits be
installed with the KWiK'N EZ® Rigid Track System?
No - mortar only
What are the bases made of?
They are made of Lucite® XL cast acrylic. This
high quality material resists chipping and peeling.
In the rare event the material scratches, polishing
will restore it back to the original shine. Color goes
all the way through the material.
What is special about the bases?
They are specially designed to accommodate glass block
through molded channels that serve as guides for block
placement. Also, they are constructed to support the
extra weight of glass block walls.
Is the Walk-In Shower Kit available
with a "left" entry?
Yes.
