Re:  "Has anyone had to find a way to put UV/shading
     material on the wonderfully textured glass blocks
     windows?"

     We've never applied UV filter to textured glass blocks,
     but we use a sheet film produced by:

     Solar Screen Co.
     53-11 105th Street
     Cornona, NY 11368
     718-592-8222

     for windows in historic houses and for case interiors
     in some instances.  While we have not used products
     from the company below, we notice they have some you
     may be interested in:

     GILA Sunshine Window Film
     Courtland Performance Films
     PO Box 5068
     Martinsville, VA 24115
     1-800-528-1290

     Good luck

     Chris Dill
