"Very professional from quote to installation. Did a great job replacing 14 windows (double pane glass packs) of various sizes as well as replace some of the wooden frames that were beginning to rot. It took 2 days for a 2-person crew. Final cost was about $700 more than original quote because there were more windows with rotted wood than originally anticipated but the installation team told us when they discovered the issues and gave us the option to proceed or not before incurring the extra cost which was appreciated. Very pleased with the workmanship. Cost effective given they replaced the glass packs instead of tearing out all of the window frames which were either in good shape or restorable by the crew. We will use Apex again in the future and will recommend to friends."

"The process of picking the door, side glass panels and hardware was really hard for me...there were so many wonderful choices! Once the actual finished door and glass panels were installed, I was amazed at how it completely transformed not just the outside of my home, but I love walking past my door within my home as well. Everyone who comes to my house notices there is something different about it! I really love it. Unfortunately, the installer noticed an imperfection on some of the panels. They insisted the door be replaced at no charge. When the new door came, once again, there were imperfections. This was the manufacturer's issue and not Next Door's, but they, once again, were so over the top accommodating and insisted the door be replaced AGAIN at no charge. The door looks fabulous and the installation was done to perfection. Bottom line, this company stands behind their product, has tremendous follow-up and follow-through, and does a wonderful job in all areas of the process. They are true professionals and I recommend them without any hesitation to anyone wanting a gorgeous door!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

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.
