Brighten Up Spring with Natural Light and Color - New, More Stylish Glass Blocks Offer Lower Bills, Higher Security and Extra Flare

    COLUMBUS, OH, March 05, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After a long, dreary winter, spring is the perfect time for homeowners to let the sunshine in with a custom-made glass block installation. Columbus Glass Block features a variety of colored, etched and energy efficient options that provide increased security while adding an intriguing designer touch.

Columbus Glass Block offers new etched, color and frosted glass blocks. Glass block technology offers numerous benefits over single-pane windows, including being 10 times more energy efficient than most basement/bathroom windows. Glass block is especially cost effective, sending more natural light into the home. Columbus Glass Block also offers basement windows with low-e coated glass and thicker panes to reduce heating and cooling bills. In addition, glass block windows are easier to clean and maintain and they last longer. Offering a higher level of home security, especially at or below ground level, glass block windows also protect against break-ins and fire.

"Most lower-level windows have old rusted metal frames or rotten wood frames with a single pane window glass inside, making them among the most inefficient windows in the home," said Columbus Glass Block president Mike Foti. "Glass block windows are 10 times more energy efficient than single pane glass. Thus, the basement no longer needs to be the dungeon of the home. They offer homeowners tremendous functional benefits, plus plenty of cool style."

Committed to offering and installing low energy and eco-friendly products, Columbus Glass Block also offers a variety of products made from recycled materials. The low-energy basement windows are removable and operable, with a vinyl frame and insulated glass panes.
