"A. R. Glass did a fantastic job. Instead of having to replace my windows, they were able to come in and replace the glass for considerable savings. I would definitely have them come again. In fact, I had them come for a second job already."

"Damon is great to coordinate with. He’s kind and funny, accommodating and makes scheduling great. They did a wonderful job replacing the window glass and have a 3 year warranty. I have used them on patio doors in the past as well!"

"This is the second bathroom that I’ve had Miguel and his team come out to install the glass shower door. They were very professional throughout the process and the price was very reasonable. Great service just like they were with my first bathroom project 7 years ago! Thanks for the great work. Highly recommend Installers DMV"

"Overall the process was pretty painless. My bathroom remodel had been dragging on due to contractor issues so I was ready to get things finished up. Chris came over with another employee (who actually installed the glass later on) and they took measurements. We discussed options and the fact that I wanted the glass to go higher then the average height (72") due to the fact the regular shower head was installed at an abnormal height. We reach a compromise at 78" which actually turned out really nice (it's flush with the top of the door jam) and the fact that the shower door was 30" wide made for a really heavy piece of glass so I'm glad they still got it up the stairs!
It took about a week to get the glass in and that fell over Thanksgiving so had to wait another week to get it installed. Installation took a couple of hours. Shower looks beautiful with brushed nickel finish hardware. I also got the Cardinal 10 protection so hopefully that holds up to keeping the shower glass clean(er).
The main reason I went with this company was that they had one of the lower bids and they only use hardware on the sides of the glass and not the bottom to hold it. You get a really clean look all around the shower with less hardware. Also they didn't have to put any holes in the travertine stone.
Great job, thanks!"

"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."

"oThis was a great experience start to finish. The price is solid, beating out my insurance company's provider by a good $80 - $100, the work was scheduled and performed quickly and the windshield looks good.
I used the $25 off coupon I printed  from Angies list without a problem, which brought the cost from 255 down to 230.
My insurance company's placed wanted $298 plus tax plus $29.95 to come out
to me to fix it. Royal did all that for the flat $255.
Definitely would use them again if I needed to replace any of my car's glass.

"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."

"The entire process went exceptionally well.   I was impressed with not only the attention to detail
 (after the initial measurements were done by a company employee, the measurements were so close to "standard" size that the owner came back to double-check the initial measurements and confirmed that my glass panel was measured correctly and would be a "custom" size) but also the updates I received throughout the process.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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 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 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.
