The reality is most people think "inside the box" when making a glass block bathroom window. The determine a size they desire, find a supplier and leave it up to them to figure out what block sizes work best. Although this approach gets you a window that's symmetrical and functional it won't necessarily result in a unique window. So if you're doing a replacement or new construction bathroom window why just build up the blocks when you can finally mix them up to get a cool and innovative pattern?

Here's 7 steps to make your window design interesting and unique:

Step 1 : Determine your size - In a replacement or new construction window size does matter - but you do not always be limited to your existing size. If you're doing a replacement window with a bathroom remodeling project ask your contractor two questions. First - what dimensions window would fit the previous opening. Second - how difficult it would to reframe the eye-port opening? Block windows can get sized in 2" increments and unique design can be made by not simply laying one block on top of another. For new engineering ask your builder what sizing flexibility you've got. Make sure to have these conversations before the rough framing process begins (so you don't incur any excess framing costs).
