Acrylic or glass block window?

Hi anyone use both these products? Anyone rate better cost, strength, appearance, easiest install? TyAcrylic or glass block window?
glass glass glass





Acrylic is lighter, easier to install and cheaper, but its plastic, when all is said and done: Scratches and discolors after a few years exposure to sunlight.





Glass is difficult to scratch, doesn't change color, and has excellent insulating properties.Acrylic or glass block window?
visually there is no difference cost wise big difference


acrilic can be bought /ordered as a whole unit reducing installation cost glass will have to be installed by a mason are you seeing clearly now?
where is it going?interior /exterior also what style of home is it?tradional- modern- craftman etc. be glad to help if you can provide these details
I would go with the glass. The acrylic may get etched by weather over time.
