"Left 3-4 phone messages (1 with an employee, 3 on answering machine) and 2 email messages before I got anyone to call me back. I got an appointment the next day and the rep came on time and assessed damages. I was told I would receive an email estimate the next day. I was obviously eager to have my window repaired/replaced as soon as possible. Did not hear from company as promised. Again left messages. Finally received an estimate via email 1 week later. By that time, I had lined up another glass company and agreed on their price. Window has since been replaced."

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.

Yes, many professionals provide custom-cut glass replacements for enclosures that require precise sizing.

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.

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.

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.
