Hy-Lite windows are perfect as accents, especially in rooms where additional light is desired. They’re also ideal for entryways, above bathtubs, as shower walls or to add a touch of class and design to an exterior wall.

More importantly, they’re lightweight and easy to install in minutes. Each window - aluminum framed, vinyl framed and operable vinyl framed windows - arrive as completely prefabricated and glazed units. They even come with attached nailing fins, for easy, standard installation.

Because they are 75 percent lighter than glass block, no extra reinforcement is necessary, so Hy-Lite Block Windows can be used where heavy glass isn’t practical. Because it’s prefabricated, there’s also no worry of sagging or cracking blocks over time. Hy-Lite backs that claim with a 10-year limited warranty promising that your window won’t leak and that the blocks won’t yellow.

When it comes to energy conservation, Hy-Lite Block Windows also beat standard glass block by 35 percent. The highest quality of acrylic is used, so the windows resist scratching and exterior weathering. Each block is sealed and airtight to prevent internal condensation and to preserve the structural integrity of the window.

All Hy-Lite Acrylic Block Windows are available with wave or cross rib patterned blocks. See your SBS representative for details on sizing, installation and timeframes for special ordering.
