No, glass block is dated. glass Shower Doors are sexy.

Thanks for sharing many of our pictures Scott Design! I think you are correct - glass blocks can have a contemporary modern look if they are designed properly!

NO... Beautiful thick, heavy glass doors are much more appealing.

It doesn't bother me any.

I have found that many people HATE glass block. It doesn't bother me any.

Glass block is still very dated...not a fan!

I think people of a certain age are always going to look at glass block in a negative way because it takes them back a few decades. Younger people have never seen it and may think it looks new or trendy. We haven't used it since the early 90's, but I still see it being sold in the marketplace.

I agree that glass block, used in a modern way, can look very good.

Sorry way too out of style to even consider plus a nice plain glass shower door looks so much better

I know people want to say glass block is dated but I'm not sure they have seen the options which are out there right now. Check out this blog post and also some of the images below - do you like the material more or less after seeing these images and this article? http://blog.innovatebuildingsolutions.com/2014/11/08/5-design-ideas-modernize-glass-block-wall-window/

I agree with Scott Design and others. It's all in how you use the material, not the material itself that is dated.

From a cleaning point of view, a singe swath of smooth surface is much easier. Imagine you are facing the glass block shower wall, spraying it with cleaner, scrubbing each block and then each line of grout.

I'm a fan...so long as it is done in an upscale/forward thinking design. In a bathroom, it's one draw back is THICKNESS. Glass block (the more traditional format) takes up valuable square footage. When a room is only 8 x 10 and has an awkward layout the space the block requires could be a deal breaker. When space is not an issue, I rather like it in a shower.

Glass block doesn't show water spots like glass shower doors and it doesn't need to be wiped down. Glass shower doors are a pain to keep them looking nice!!!
