After talking to the glass block company, I found that what I wanted to do was not possible for prefab. It was also quite costly for putting up just a prefab window next to the steam shower. I could get two glass bock windows much cheaper than a single prefab. While this was disappointing, and I didn't really like the idea of putting to glass block windows on top of each other, I decided to look more. The sidelights for front doors might work, but difficult to find and expensive by themselves.
I was still a bit concerned about the fixed door. I decided to look again at the options. I had taken a look at the accordion doors before, but wrote them off. It just so happens that Home Depot had the same ones on sale. After reading the reviews and knowing I could easily take it back, I decided to order one. Unfortunately the description and picture were confusing, and I ended up buying one without the squares, but rather 4 full panels. I decided to order another one that was of the right type rather than try to cancel or change the first order. I would just look at both and take the least favorite back, or both if they looked bad.
Later in the night, it hit me. Rather than return one, I would disassemble it an use it as a window. It would be much cheaper and I like the look. Both are in silver with turquoise. One with small squares separated by clear glass, and the other full frosted single pane.
This may just work. The solids for the windows and the squares for the door.
