There are actually two types of blocks that you can install, glass block and acrylic block. Acrylic block is the more likely choice for the do-it-yourselfer but glass block can also be successfully installed.

The advantage of acrylic block is that it is much lighter and can be ordered in the exact size and configuration that you need it. Got an arched window? Definitely go with a custom acrylic frame as glass block cannot be cut to size. The cost of glass versus acrylic is actually about the same, yet you have to lay the block piece by piece while the acrylic goes up in one fell swoop. You usually can’t tell the difference between glass and acrylic unless you knock on it, so think carefully about which choice is best for you.
