"Lakeside  arrived a little late and immediately got to work.  Very professional and respectful of my home and possessions.  They took the time to answer questions and explained everything that they would be doing.  I had several estimates and decided to go with Lakeside because they came to the job before the appointment and gave an estimate instead of nickel and diming me for each thing that would be done.  The windows look and feel beautiful.  My one issue is that on their website today, (I had the windows done yesterday) there is a fifteen dollar off coupon for windows.  I wish that Noah had mentioned it to me.  Just like anyone, I would have liked to take advantage of that opportunity."

"The replacement went very well. Workers did a great job of installing the windows and keeping the dust to a minimum and cleaning up after the windows were installed. One of the windows was a large bow window which had to be custom built to fit into the style of our 92 year old house. It look better than the original!"

"Ronnie and his crew were fantastic. They were at my house within hours after I called. Ronnie explained exactly what needed to be done. The shattered glass was cleaned up and the replacement glass was ordered. When the new glass came in an appointment was scheduled and he came out to put it in the door and correct the four casement windows as I had requested. All work was spot on. I highly recommend LDS."

Glass Block FAQs, answered by experts

Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.

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.

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

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.
