"Because the glass was the most expensive component in this major master bath renovation I quoted 4 different glass companies. The Glass Gallery was not the cheapest, but after extensive research on all 4, I decided to go with The Glass Gallery.  The deciding factor was the level of experience and expertise The Glass Gallery offered.  I talked with previous Glass Gallery customers and that sealed the deal.  Phil, the owner, gave excellent advice, but the technicians that did the installation were perhaps the most meticulous pair of employees I have ever seen.  I chatted with them, and learned that they had almost 20 years combined experience working for The Glass Gallery.  The results showed.  I am an anal retentive perfectionist - I checked out the gaps and seals with a my calipers (I am a mechanical engineer) and the installation was perfect.  The silicone caulking that "Jeff" did was precision - he fussed with it to perfection.  I only wish I could show pictures.
I only write reviews if I love you or hate you.  I obviously love The Glass Gallery.  Don't go anywhere else.

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won’t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.
