Q: What do you do if a glass block breaks?

• <div><p>Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they&rsquo;re still susceptible to breaking. If your glass block window shatters, contact a window repair professional to remove and replace the glass block. Don&rsquo;t attempt to handle it yourself because the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A window repair pro will have the tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly. Before hiring, be sure to confirm the repair pro has experience with repairing or replacing that specific type of window.</p></div>

Q: How are glass blocks energy efficient?

• <div><p>Glass blocks are much thicker than glass panes in traditional windows and serve as better insulators. The overall glass block window is sealed against drafts that allow warm or cool air to escape, saving on energy costs. Since this type of window is sealed airtight into your home, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about air leaks and drafts as often as traditional windows that open and close. When installing glass block windows, look for options that are Energy Star rated, proving their energy efficiency.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of glass blocks?

• <div><p>Glass blocks provide privacy, natural light diffusion, insulation, and a decorative aesthetic.</p></div>

Q: Do glass block windows come in different patterns and textures?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

I needed help moving some large antiques from my late brother’s home, and these movers really respected the value and fragility of the pieces. They used thick padding and wooden crates for the glass cabinets, and everything arrived safe and sound. Kudos!

They were friendly and responsive. They could have sanded my floors better and not put ruts in a brand new floor. They could have cleaned and prepped better. They could have not left dust throughout and could have not left swirl marks. I think I could have got a better glass finish on the floor...
