We have been remodeling the master bath for sometime. We are in the homestretch. In regards to the shower. It is a walk-in shower that we have tile up until about the 4 foot mark. We would like the remaining 3 feet to be glass block. The price difference between tempered glass block and non-tempered glass block is staggering. Thoughts and advice greatly appreciated. This would be on two sides of the shower only.
Exterior or interior wall for the block? Assuming interior. In regards to code this is what I found. https://www.wayzata.org/DocumentCenter/View/232/Tempered-Glass-Glazing-PDF How I interpret that is you need tempered glass in the bathroom to keep you from falling through it in the case of a slip.
Thank you for the quick response. These are the walls that go out into the bathroom. I would like to build up another couple of feet or so with glass block. The glassblock we go on top of those two partial walls.
