Now D.I.Y. Shower Enclosures Can Look Professional

(HIT) – Homeowners who would like to install a luxury shower enclosure need no longer think twice about tackling this once-complex project. Two recent developments in building products make adding a real glass block shower enclosure a true do-it-yourself project. And the results can look as professional as if you had hired a masonry contractor at considerably more expense.

Pre-assembled glass block panels simplify shower wall construction.

Just like pre-built glass block windows that require no mortar or masonry skills, now you order pre-assembled glass block panels, shipped to your jobsite or home. The panels can be attached to each other with strong, durable silicone adhesive. Then the glass block joints are finished by applying EazyGrout polymer hydraulic grout with BioBlock antimicrobial protection (included with the system).The system is easy to use, working with any standard glass blocks for curved or straight walls, that you specify with your order through Stark Glass Block.

	Prefinished shower curb sections replicate the look of marble, granite, or onyx.

An attractive, durable modular curb system called Curbstile can easily form the base for your D.I.Y. shower stall project, with no special tools required. Also available through Stark Glass Block, these curb components are designed to fit with all glass blocks. Made from a solid, cast polymer surface material often used in countertops, the curb system will also work with framed and framless flat glass enclosures. Its nonporous surface resists bacteria and mold. For step-by-step installation details on both pre-formed, mortarless glass block panels, and modular shower curb sections, visit the Stark Glass Block website: www.starkglassblock.com.
