Glass Blocks - Install - For Business

Serving Loretto, PA and surrounding areas

Hi! I'm Scott. I'm a 41 year old husband, Christian, and father of 4 beautiful daughters. I own and operate Zephyr Signs and Apparel, Flow & Grow Aquatics and Leaf Healthy Microgreens. I have always been a jack of all trades, fixing, remodeling, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, flooring, lighting, organization, property maintenance, landscaping. You name it, I do it. I even service and maintain fish tanks and gardens!\n\nI live near South Fork just outside of the city of Johnstown PA. I'm dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and I'll be the first person to tell you I can't do a job if I'm not 100% sure of myself. \n\nI'm also great with decorating, cleaning up after pets, home interiors, fixing appliances, automotive work and much more. And with 4 mini Schnauzers I could probably even help out with some dog training 😂😂😂\n\nGet in touch today and you'll make a friend if nothing else. \n\nIt'll get fixed when you get "Around To It" 💪

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

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.
