"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!"

"Maia figured out how to repair 3 pairs of my dichroic glass earrings so that earwires would stay embedded in them and not come out. She really saved the day for me, and was very concerned and helpful in her work. Fair price, as well."

Glass Block FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.

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 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.
