Hard To Find Glass Block

For decades, Pittsburgh Corning Corporation was the only domestic glass block manufacturer in North America, starting production in 1937. They offered a wide range of patterns, styles, and sizes designed to work seamlessly as a complete system in any project. The company started its production at the Port Alleghany plant with the DECORA® and ARGUS® patterns, which are now often considered Hard To Find Glass Block models by today's standards.

In 1958, they introduced rectangular glass blocks, followed by color-coated options. By the late 1970s, they planned to end production, but demand from architects led them to continue. The 1980s saw a strong comeback in residential use, prompting the release of the Hedron Glass Block. This allowed for walls to connect at 90-degree angles and became a popular choice for building shower enclosures and partition walls. By the end of that decade, Pittsburgh Corning also launched the EndBlock.

Clear crystal blocks from Pittsburgh Corning were well-known for providing excellent visibility and meeting ADA guidelines in enclosed areas. With a variety of sizes and designs, Pittsburgh Corning Glass Block offered nearly endless design potential. When the company closed its office and warehouse in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2016, GBA, one of their largest distributors, acquired the remaining inventory. Today, GBA continues to offer the largest remaining supply of Pittsburgh Corning Glass Block for sale.
