Installing Glass Block in the Bathroom
Because you cannot cut glass block, installation as a shower enclosure is delicate work that needs to be taken seriously.

There are three basic matrixes that can be used to install including acrylic bases, customer mud set pans, and polystyrene foam bases. The best choice of the three is the last. Although the foam bases may be a little more expensive, you can avoid a lot of the other problems associated with mud set pans and acrylic bases.
