See-Through

One style of glass block is the see-through type.  When looking through this glass you can see perfectly almost like a window, they are also different than most styles that provide a hazy or blurred view. If you have plants in see-through glass block windows, they will receive adequate sunlight — these windows allow light to penetrate completely without interference.

Vertical and Horizontal Rib

A different style is vertical and horizontal rib glass block.  This glass helps maintain privacy by prohibiting anyone from seeing through the glass. Sunlight is able to pass through this glass, just not as much as the see-through version.  This window separates the horizontal from the vertical and all ribs are on the inside for ease of cleaning.
