"Wow. I was in a BAD spot. I've been caretaking for my mother and father's 1962 house while pops is in the hospital recovering from heart surgery. Came home to see someone had unsuccessfully tried to break into the house. They were, however, successful at breaking a window. What a "Pane in the Glass"! Since mom is peaking in stress, I needed to get this fixed ASAP before she got home tonight, at approx 9:00. I found out about it at 5:00pm. Crap! I called Glass Doctor, who had Aliki T. call me back (almost immediately) and give me some great pointers on how to get this situation resolved in quick order. After following her instructions, I took the glass out while my sis went and picked up the new pane. I now have it fixed, just waiting for paint, and that was @ 7:30pm! What great advice! You ROCK! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.

Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number of blocks and customization requirements.

Installing glass block windows has benefits and disadvantages, as with most materials. The pros and cons can vary depending on the type of glass block and the window location.
