Minneapolis Glass Block Window

  This project involved a smaller bathroom in South Minneapolis that had a paint finish over the original plaster walls in the shower.  The area around the shower fixtures had been deteriorating and in need of repair.  The floor was several layers of vinyl, and was peeling in certain areas.

  Another issue with this bathroom was that there was a large window in the shower, and the wood was rotting away.  

  After the initial discussion with the homeowner, we decided to replace the window with a glass block window, use the classic ceramic subway tile on the shower walls, and install a smaller classic style ceramic on the floor.

  Here are some photos of the project......

About the Project

  The glass block used in this project was 8" x 8" block installed with spacers and silicon.

  The tile used on the shower walls was a 3" x 6" ceramic subway tile with standard white grout.  A chairrail was used to cap the wainscoting around the bathroom walls.

  The bathroom floor was a 1" hexagon white ceramic with black hexagons inserted as accents.

More Information

  Patterns and styles of tile are numerous and can be confusing.  Archway Contracting will provide free design assistance for all projects that we install.
