"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.

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

Heavy glass tends to be more expensive than thin glass because it is stronger and more durable. In most cases, ¼-inch-thick glass is ideal for mirrors, and ⅛-inch-thick glass is ideal for residential windows. Heavier glass isn’t always necessary, and can be more challenging to hang or install. Work with a local window installation pro for replacement or new construction windows.

Glass block windows typically last for 15 to 30 years, which is slightly less than the 20- to 50-year lifespan of standard windows. You can extend their life by resealing them every few years. Professional installation is also key to ensuring the windows are placed correctly and will function properly for years to come. A professional installer will have the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to install these features and can identify potential issues like damaged frames or cramped areas during a consultation.

Yes, professionals can install decorative or colored glass block patterns for a unique look.

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.
