Macneil Ocean Wave Glass Block 190 x 190 x 80 mm Clear Privacy Glass Bricks

Design with Light & Privacy

 

Bring the soothing essence of the sea into your home architecture with the Macneil Ocean Wave Glass Block. This pattern is the definitive choice for South African homeowners who want to balance high-end style with practical functionality.

The Ocean Wave finish features deep, undulating curves that capture and refract light, creating a dynamic sense of motion across your walls. This unique texture provides a high level of privacy by distorting shapes behind the glass, yet it allows a spectacular amount of natural light to pass through. Whether you are creating a coastal-inspired bathroom or a modern partition, the Ocean pattern turns every wall into a living piece of art.

 

Key Features

• Dynamic Wave Pattern: Features a classic undulating texture that creates beautiful light reflections and a sense of movement.

• Optimal Light Refraction: Designed to bend light rays, filling rooms with bright, diffused sunshine without the harsh glare.

• High Privacy Distortion: Effectively blurs objects and figures, making it ideal for bathrooms and street-facing windows.

Key Benefits

• Coastal Aesthetic: Instantly elevates the "look and feel" of a room, providing a clean, watery, and refreshing atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How many Ocean Wave blocks do I need per square meter (m2)? A: Using a standard 10mm mortar joint, you will need 25 blocks per m2.

Q: Can I build a curved wall with these blocks? A: Yes! The 80mm thickness and 190mm width allow for gentle curves in partitions. For tighter curves, you would adjust the mortar joint width on the outside of the curve.

Q: What color mortar should I use with the Ocean pattern? A: To keep the "Ocean" look clean and bright, we highly recommend Specialist White Glass Block Mortar. Grey mortar can make the waves look dark or muddy.

Q: Are these suitable for outdoor use? A: Absolutely. They are weather-resistant and provide excellent insulation for exterior window replacements.
