"I spoke to several companies about fixing the arch above my window. The previous owners had done so, but, obviously, the problem wasn't solved because I still got water. Out of half dozen companies I spoke to about the project, I chose Lime Builders, because they were by far the most thorough in taking the time to assess the work that needed to get done. They also offered several options for the repairs. When it was time for the job to be done, the workers came and very efficiently completed the work with minimal (if any) disturbance to the residents of the (condo) building. Most of all, I liked everyone at Lime Builders because they took the time to explain everything to me, and EVERYONE I spoke to said "We work on your home just as if we were working on our own home." You can't get better than that. I chose to hire Lime Builders because, out of all the masons I spoke to, they were only group who gave me confidence that they wanted to solve my problem as much as I wanted it solved and would stand by their work. You deserve that same level of commitment as well."

"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

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

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.

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 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.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair
