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.
Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number of blocks and customization requirements.
Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps prevent buildup and maintains clarity.
