Looking for a way to add more light in a dark hallway or bathroom? Searching for a way to create a private office or study space in your cluttered home? Acrylic block windows and panels may be the answer.

Made from durable blocks and prefabricated into frames at the manufacturer, acrylic block products come ready for fast and easy installation. The obscure blocks allow in natural sunlight, but prevent full views so that privacy is guaranteed. Operable casement and awning windows can even crank out to allow natural air flow into your home.

Stumped on how you can add acrylic block units to your house? Consider any of these projects:

Project #1 - Replace hard-to-reach windows over a bathtub with privacy-control acrylic block windows.

Project #2 - Create a shower using a radius block wall that eliminates doors, shower curtains and thresholds that can be potential trip hazards.

Project #3 - Add light to a dark hallway, foyer, closet or laundry room with non-operable acrylic block windows.

Project #4 - Position a panel of acrylic blocks in any room to create private spaces for home offices, exercise equipment rooms or game areas.

Project #5 - Install an acrylic block door light into a solid exterior or interior door to encourage the flow of light into the home.

Project #6 - Add small acrylic block panels under countertops to bring more natural light into the kitchen.

Project #7 - Seal off open stairways with a stair-step design of acrylic block panels that add a design accent to the home.

Project #8 - Shine more light in the bathroom by surrounding mirrors with acrylic block panels that have hundreds of miniature lights sealed in the units.

Project #9 - Replace a window that overlooks an unsightly rooftop or neighbor's yard with an operable acrylic block casement window that brings air and light into the home while obscuring the exterior view.

Project #10 - Use a full wall of acrylic blocks as a decorative room divider to separate dining and kitchen areas or sections of a family room.

Low maintenance acrylic block windows, panels and partitions from Hy-Lite (R) Products are strong and durable. Special interior and exterior glazing tightly seals both sides of each unit, making it energy efficient and perfect for use in showers.

The prefabricated block units provide an airtight seal that helps prevent internal condensation. A specially developed caulk between the blocks resists mold and mildew, making the pieces ideal for use in high humidity areas of the home.

Block patterns include clear wave, cross rib, frosted wave and energy-efficient Solar Block. For a splash of color, homeowners may choose to use pale green, blue, rose or peach colored blocks.
