"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!"

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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

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.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.
