"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!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

DIY is possible for small projects, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, structural integrity, and a precise finish.

Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number of blocks and customization requirements.
