"Quick response and turnaround time. I started looking for pros to replace two glass blocks on bathroom window on HomeAdvisor on Wednesday morning, and Hardy Glass Blocks completed the job on Thursday afternoon. Everyone was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend these guys. Other pros in the area wanted to replace the whole window, when only two glass blocks needed repair. I'm glad I decided to save time and money by selecting to work with Hardy Glass Blocks!"

"I was having a problem with the glass door of my shower, with the door scraping against the hinged side of the glass. AG Glass arrived when they said they would and completed the repair right then. The door works great, no more scraping sound every time it opens and closes. I'm very happy with the work, highly recommend!"

"I had an old fireplace that I needed to cancel out. CHUY knew exactly what we needed to do without any unwanted damage to the wall and ceiling. He helped me get the right people to repair the roof and capped everything shut. The tuckpointing around the house was done exceptionally well and professionally. I recommend anyone looking to get the job done right, you can't go wrong with Chuys Tuckpointing and his crew. On time and suoer clean."

"All I can say is "Wow". What I like in home repair and improvement services are those providers that have hustle and have great communications: And Top Notch Glass Repair fits those requirements and more. Top Notch was able to answer my questions before kicking off the work. They were able to do the repair work I needed next-day, when other quotes were for 10-14 days. Their on-site people were extremely knowledgeable and exceptionally friendly and courteous. I have several other less-severe/critical window issues to address and I'll be contracting Top Notch Glass Repair for all of it."

Glass Block Windows questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

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. 

Yes, many professionals provide custom-cut glass replacements for enclosures that require precise sizing.
