What's New For 2012?
Just About Everything!
Seattle Glass Block is excited to finally introduce our newly designed line of glass block manufactured by Mulia Inc., a global leader in glass block for decades. This new line has a completely fresh look with a cooler color glass that gives a crisp and sharp presentation to all patterns, moving away from the common green glass from the past.
Thin Is In!
In the past if you wanted to have a beautiful shaped glass block wall you were forced to use the bulky and more expensive 4" thick units. Those days are gone! We have known that the 4" thick glass block were much thicker and heavier than necessary however that is all that was made available until now.
Introducing: Radial 22.5 Degree
This 3" thin rounded Glass Block is not just curved on the exterior but is now curved on the interior as well for a much nicer finish inside and out.
Introducing the Veer 90 Degree
A 90 degree corner block also made for the improved 3" thin block line. You will notice the wider block face on the inside and outside corner allowing much more light to pass through as to not shade the block so it looks similar to the rest of the block wall units.
Clearly A Great Choice
Shower walls are by far the most popular application for the glass block. Chosen for the privacy and the ability of making almost any shaped configuration, creating a custom fit and design for your bathroom is easy! These days the tile choices have exploded and many tiled shower walls are feature walls that should not be hidden. Our new CLEAR line of glass blocks are a great choice to create a wall with unlimited design capability because we have made this line available in all 3" thin sizes and shapes.
Some Things Shouldn't Change
Yes we have changed to this new exciting line of glass block however you can still expect the high level of services and innovative systems Seattle Glass Block is known for. In most cases, change is difficult however this change will be made easy by allowing our great team to continue to guide and service your project needs.
Seattle Glass Block will still have Pittsburgh Corning glass blocks available but a number of choices will be special order and will reflect their 2012 price increase.
Our pricing links haven't changed! You can still find all of our current pricing and order forms at:
Our great new glass block line is NOT available at the Big Box Stores nor will it be so you won't have to compete with them for the same product. In addition this new line is available at a much more competitive rate and we have established better margins for dealers and contractors.
What About Your Current Quote?
Starting February 1st we are forced to pass along a significant price increase on all Pittsburgh Corning glass block products. We are honoring all existing quotes but they will expire on Jan 31st while 2011 inventory supplies last. Please call your sales representative to re-quote any existing projects you have with us now, so you can see the nice savings our new glass block line has to offer.
What's Next?
We are working on a number of other new glass block product innovations and we are looking forward to our next introduction, hopefully within the first half of 2012. So keep your eyes open and I am sure you will agree that this next product is a wonderful addition, one that you have never seen before.
Sincerely,
Brian Wright
President

Wedi Liquid Vapor Barrier
Now available from wedi, a Liquid Vapor Barrier that can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces. This latex copolymer-based coating is designed to be applied by brush, roller, trowel, or spray in at least two coatings. Once cured, this vapor barrier membrane forms a tough, flexible film that won't soften at high temperatures or become brittle in low temperatures.
Wedi's Liquid Vapor Barrier is a single-component, water based system, eliminating the need for a catalyst and providing easy clean up with soap and water (before it cures). This membrane has a quick drying time, reducing the amount of time wasted waiting between coats.
Wedi Liquid Vapor Barrier can be used over other Wedi products, and is recommended for use in steam shower applications. Other common uses are:
On substrates prior to application of thinset mortars for ceramic tile.
As a coating for plywood, OSB, or exterior grade gypsum.
As part of a roof coating system.
As a secondary moisture protection system for caulks, sealants, or films.
As a vapor barrier over concrete slabs.
Call Seattle Glass Block at 1-800-829-9419 or email us at newsletter@seattleglassblock.com to find out more information on how Wedi Vapor Barrier can add to the integrity of your water-proofing project.
