"On July 18th, 2025, we had a drainage system installed. With various problems in the process, we are so close to finishing the job. Today is 10/13/25, and we are not done yet. The work was fair, but getting it done is getting old. I give a 3-star rating. Todd Flumerfelt"

Glass block mortar is the best choice for glass block window units. It is specifically formulated for glass block window installation.

Do not use regular tile mortar because it may not have the binding strength and flexibility required for glass block windows.

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. 

New glass costs anywhere from $3 to $100 per square foot. More specifically, tempered and insulated glass—a common option for sliding glass doors—costs between $10 and $14 per square foot.
