⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Homeowner, Austin, TX
"I installed the Advanced Tier Dichroic Glass Blocks in my bathroom and home office as a way to bring in natural light without sacrificing privacy. The wavy texture and iridescent finish transform the space throughout the day—morning light casts soft gold ripples, while evening lighting brings out deep purples and blues. It feels like living inside a prism. Installation was smooth with the 3D model support from the supplier, and the fire rating gave me peace of mind for code compliance. Absolutely worth the investment."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Lin - Architect, Foster & Gray Design Studio
"We used the Pro Model Metallized Hollow Glass Blocks for a boutique hotel lobby in Miami. The customization options were a game-changer—we matched the iridescent gold-blue gradient to the brand’s color palette using their graphic design team’s 3D mockups. The blocks now serve as both a decorative partition and a dynamic lighting feature. With 70% light transmission and CE fire certification, they meet both aesthetic and safety standards. Even under direct Florida sun, the UV resistance has kept the colors vibrant. This is the future of architectural glazing."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Diego Alvarez - Landscape Designer, GreenScape Studios
"Used the Base Model Dichroic Blocks in a private courtyard project to create a glowing boundary wall. The way they refract sunlight into shimmering green and purple patterns is mesmerizing—clients love how it changes with the time of day. They’ve held up well through summer humidity and winter frost. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the base model has limited shape flexibility; I had to do extra sealing at the joints. Still, for the price, performance is outstanding."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rebecca Patel - Facilities Director, Summit Medical Center
"We retrofitted patient corridor partitions with the Fire-Rated Pro Model Glass Blocks after a safety audit. Not only do they meet our 90-minute fire resistance requirement, but the dichroic finish has surprisingly improved patient morale—nurses report that the colorful light patterns calm anxious visitors. The chemical resistance is excellent; they withstand daily disinfectant sprays without haze or degradation. With a 1-year warranty and CE certification, this was a no-brainer for high-traffic healthcare zones."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Owner, IronHorse Fabrications
"I was skeptical about using decorative glass in a workshop, but the Pro Model’s Grade 5 chemical resistance convinced me. Installed them in our entryway and along the stairwell balustrade. They take direct hits from sparks, oil splatter, and cleaning solvents with zero damage. The gold-tinted dichroic effect makes the industrial space feel elevated without sacrificing toughness. Plus, the hollow design helps with natural lighting—cut our daytime electricity use by nearly 20%. These aren’t just pretty—they’re functional."Purchase Date: August 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
