"We had a great experience with Acra as the company worked with us on design, appropriate product selection, and execution of projects. The entire crew was professional, timely, and tidy. Any changes we requested changes through the construction process were done without problems. We love our new kitchen and bathrooms! Acra was great to work with and we will definitely hire the company for any future projects!"

"Nick came over today to help clean up our yard since the county brush and bulky pick-up in this coming Monday. Nick did a great job and help cut down a large tree limb that was hanging over our sidewalk. We also had some tile work done in our bathroom. Since I use a wheelchair he greatly improved the entrance to the shower area with some mosaic tile. it was a very difficult area to work in and he did a great job. He was promptly on time and finished as promised.

"Travis is very competent and skilled at many things that are quite distinct from one another as noted in the diversity of remodeling tasks he performed at our newly acquired home. Each sub-project involved work from the design stage to implementation. He worked closely with us from a distance since we wanted the remodeling completed before we moved. Although he would periodically get pulled away to handle the drywall business associated with his contract with Plumb Plumbing, it did not cause major delays. Each aspect of our work was also bid to others and Travis was always competitive. Most important, he is an excellent communicator-a rare quality in the construction and remodeling world. At least each week, if not more frequently, he called, texted or emailed updates, including photos of his work in progress. We developed a close working relationship and we trusted him thoroughly. We have considerable experience with residential and institutional construction, remodeling and interior design, so we tend to be very hands on. Travis always rose to the occasion, was never offended by suggestions or corrections, and was very responsive to our designs and needs.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

Glass block installation can be relatively expensive due to the range of material costs and the labor time to assemble this type of specialty window. The process proceeds slowly as the glass does not absorb moisture from mortar and silicone caulk takes longer to harden, leaving spacers to hold up the structure until the caulk or mortar begins to cure. Plus, if your current windows have structural issues or damage, you’ll need to repair them before beginning the project, increasing your bottom line. 

Glass block mortar is the best choice for glass block window units. It is specifically formulated for glass block window installation. Glass block mortar is usually a mixture of Portland cement, sand, and special chemicals. It is a white mortar that is applicable inside and outside your home. Do not use regular tile mortar because it may not have the binding strength and flexibility required for glass block windows.

Their thickness depends on application, but most glass walls are typically 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Although it’s not as common, single panes of glass can also be 1 inch thick.

Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.
