Hy-Lite carries the torch for glass block windows

Hy-Lite is highlighting its glass block windows in the event of Pittsburgh Corning's departure from the industry.

"Our company has manufactured block windows for more than 25 years," said Roger Murphy, president of Hy-Lite, a U.S. Block Windows Company. "While it's always a bit sad to see a company stop producing an in-demand product, we want people to know that Hy-Lite glass block windows are readily available."

Hy-Lite's glass block windows are lighter in weight and easier to install than their traditional counterparts.

They also come in more than 70 sizes, starting with openings at 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" and ranging up to 54-3/4" x 54-3/4".

Glass block privacy patterns include Wave and Ice, with vinyl frame colors available in white, tan, driftwood and bronze.
