"The work was not performed by Different Group Glass because prior my partner arranged for another company to provide the service. I will consider Different Glass in the future, because the phone and online interactions were courteous. Nate was very responsive and the customer service was excellent."

"GoodFellas did the master and guest bathroom in our home. My wife and I are expecting a child in Nov and wanted to get as much work done on the house before the baby was born. GoodFellas was able to finish the work in a timely matter and exceed expectations. Even though the company is handling multiple jobs at a time, they are able to make us feel like were the only ones, giving us complete attention when needed. They aren't cutting corners so it is well priced for the quality you get. Our project manager was there when we needed him including picking out the tile, glass and marble.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

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.

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

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.

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts
