Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Glass block windows aren’t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home’s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home’s safety in the event of a fire.

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. 

Glass block windows cost about $710 to install, ranging from $460 to $980. The cost factors of installing this type of specialty window include the opening size, design, layout, height, glass block type, installation type, and location. There are many block styles to choose from, including colored, clear, wavy, diamond, and frosted.

Consider the following price ranges of installing glass blocks based on size:

  • 25-by-25 inches: $60–$300

  • 31-by-31 inches: $65–$350

  • 36-by-36 inches: $85–$475

  • 48-by-48 inches: $155–$840

Glass blocks are much thicker than glass panes in traditional windows and serve as better insulators. The overall glass block window is sealed against drafts that allow warm or cool air to escape, saving on energy costs. Since this type of window is sealed airtight into your home, you don’t have to worry about air leaks and drafts as often as traditional windows that open and close. When installing glass block windows, look for options that are Energy Star rated, proving their energy efficiency.

Although glass block windows are made of multiple layers of thick glass, they’re still susceptible to breaking. If your glass block window shatters, contact a window repair professional to remove and replace the glass block. Don’t attempt to handle it yourself because the broken glass can be dangerously sharp. A window repair pro will have the tools and expertise to replace the broken glass block quickly. Before hiring, be sure to confirm the repair pro has experience with repairing or replacing that specific type of window.
