"Queen City Glass block replaced our two pane glass basement windows with vented glass block windows. Every interaction during installation was warm and professional. The basement is now more secure, and will have cross ventilation.

"JFK provided helpful advice on choosing kind of windows and type of glass, etc. This company was not inexpensive, but we think it was very good quality. Work was done in a timely way and they did not make a mess. We are very happy with our new windows."

"It went great.  The added $500 was well worth it. He was able to install it without drilling holes on the curb using a bonding technology instead of screws to the curb. This gave me peace of mind that the granite curb would not be cracked during install. Secondly the quality of a frameless enclosure far exceeds that of a stock framed enclosure and looks very expensive. The glass is 3/8" thick and the overall design quality is far superior. Lastly, to have installed the box store enclosure myself would have meant countless screws to fasten the enclosure to tile and granite....the time, risk of cracking, and risk of a shoddy job was easily offset by the price.
Other's have posted a B on pricing for Cincy glass. For a shower enclosure they're definitely an A. Aside from that mentioned above I loosely called around about a labor/material install and was quoted a minimum of $600 more for the same job, and I am not sure they were planning to provide a frameless design.
Jim was professional, timely, and courteous...way more professional than I had anticipated any glass contractor to be. I would recommend Cincinnati Glass Contractors LLC."

"Blue Sky's 2 window washers were at the house for for almost three hours, working all the time but for a ''rain" break.  I wasn't home, but my wife, Vanessa, and our crew of small dogs followed them around and were exacting quality controllers. When I got home the spider webs and dog nose smudges were gone, and Vanessa was smiling.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

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

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.
