High Quality Acrylic
US Block uses the highest quality acrylic for its blocks. This acrylic won't yellow and resists scratching. In fact, they use the same high quality resin used for all automobile tail light lenses, so exterior weathering and durability is excellent.

Glass Block
 
US Glass Block was uniquely designed to be rigid through the center of the spacer allowing for fast stacking of the glass block. When completed, your glass block assembly is perfectly aligned. The open face at edge of the spacer allows silicone to flow inside the US Glass Block spacer creating a greater seal and a stronger overall application. Simply choose your favorite glass block pattern, size, and thickness to reach your desired window dimension. Your windows are quickly fabricated to your specific requirements including white or almond frames.
