Customers say: Terrific value

"I had two leaded glass built-in cabinet doors that needed repair. The doors are close to the ground and kids had broken different panes over the years. Jim was very easy to work with. I was able to drop off and pickup the doors after hours. The quality of the repairs was excellent. I highly recommend contacting them for leaded or stained glass repair work."

"Queen City Glass block replaced our two pane glass basement windows with vented glass block windows. Every interaction during installation was warm and professional. The basement is now more secure, and will have cross ventilation.

"Ordering and purchasing windows from Zen is perhaps the easiest and most satisfying purchase experience I have ever had, especially when it comes to home maintenance. I received a quotation within minutes of requesting one. Payment is made when the job is completed. Someone came out to measure and the windows were installed in one day. I purchased half of my windows in 2016 and the other half in 2017. Perhaps the best aspect of Zen window purchasing is that it is all online, but a quick phone call away if needed. Prices were considerably more reasonable than the other two companies I considered using. Furthermore, Dan Wolt, the owner took immediate action on any questions/concerns and exhibited such integrity in business practice! Case in point, when I was quoted a lower price (through no fault of his) he insisted that he give me the price quoted because of his business ethics. Truly, I would recommend Zen Windows to any person looking for high quality windows, NO sales rep. visitations and personal service. I have been very happy with my triple pane windows and resulting reduction in utility bills."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

New glass costs anywhere from $3 to $100 per square foot. More specifically, tempered and insulated glass—a common option for sliding glass doors—costs between $10 and $14 per square foot.

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. 

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.
