"Don made the drive out to my home to measure my existing basement window openings. He then sat down with me and explained to me what my options were as far as glass blocks and different features available. He was fully prepared to show me how MGB produces the windows and the install process. I thought the pricing was very fair and they had the block windows finished in just a few days. Both Don and Scott in the office were extremely professional and answered every question I had. I would highly recommend Maryland Glass Block."

"I am very happy with the work performed by Advanced Glass. We solicited multiple bids, they were the lowest cost. Also, they were very helpful with design ideas (what works and does not). Install was on time (3 hours); very nice work. Cleanup and low noise. Excellent! Now we have a very fancy glass shower. Wife is very pleased and we saved several hundred dollars over other other bud prices."

"The shower door is beautiful! They were prompt, professional and responsive. And, they really stand by their work. They originally installed a small chrome connector at the bottom of the door which was aesthetically pleasing, but after some time the door had some slight movement. River Glass Designs came right back out, removed the connector and installed a different type which is guaranteed not to move at all. We couldn't be happier and definitely recommend this company."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

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.

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
