"Very polite and friendly. Reached out to us and completed our windows within 3 days. Was very courteous about putting down a drop cloth to protect our carpet and floors while going in and out of our home. We are very pleased with our new glass block windows in our basement and how neat and clean it was when he left. Great quality and price! Thank you!"

"S&S Cleaning Services are the BEST! Excellent work ethics, Punctual, I Love their thoroughness cleaning, dusting, polishing and most of all going above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Out of all the cleaning services I've had over the years, I like S&S Cleaning Services the most because as a disable person sometimes I need help moving stuff and they NEVER say no nor complaint like other cleaning services do. I highly recommend them, they are very respectful, friendly and professional. I have them come to my house several times a month now and every time I'm impressed with their work ethics. Thanks S&S!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on the number of blocks and customization requirements.

DIY is possible for small projects, but professional installation ensures proper sealing, structural integrity, and a precise finish.

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

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.
