"Jose returned my call fairly quickly after I left a message. He scheduled a visit later that afternoon. (Two other firms that I called were not interested in my business, they said to call the window manufacturer.) Jose came to the house, assessed the situation, made some recomendations and we made a deal! As he was leaving I showed him a cracked mirror that we had, he was able to fix that for us , also. Jose is a wonderful businessman and person."

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts
Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.
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 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.
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.
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.
