"Steve worked with Matt Lee in a prior firm, Frame to Finish. Matt was a fast talker and big promiser, who took a $10,000 deposit, but never started the project and only returned $1,500 of the deposit. To Steve s credit, he finished the project for the balance owed. Steve has good carpenter skills. He was easy to work with and had good suggestions for the project. Since his partner took the money, the remaining balance may not have been enough to take care of the finishing touches like returning the key. Otherwise I might have rated Steve higher."

"Jeff was prompt and worked long days, sometimes in the pouring rain. He created an outside stairway from our driveway down to the walkway and it looks incredible. The stairs are very sturdy and his design works beautifully with the property. We had such a good experience with Jeff that we hired him to work for us the next week finishing the interior of a converted garage."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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. 

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they can still break. If an individual block shatters, it can be removed and replaced, but this is a job for a window repair professional. The project is often complex and may require breaking the block further for removal. Do not attempt to handle it yourself, as the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A professional will have the necessary tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly and safely. Before hiring, confirm that the repair pro has experience with this specific type of window.

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.

  • Challenging repair

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.

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.
