Acrylic block windows look very similar to real glass block windows, but over time, the differences become all too clear as acrylic block windows can become cloudy, faded, scratched or cracked.

Many homeowners enjoy glass block as a window choice because it provides increased privacy. Today's homes are being built closer together because land costs continue to escalate.
