"Bob and his team did an excellent job. I waited awhile before posting my recommendation because I wanted to make sure that their work lasted and was completely 100% durable. They not only did great with Mold Removal caused by another negligent HVAC company, they also replaced the affected drywall areas along with carpentry services. Do yourself a favor and hire Bob and his team.....best of all is that they're a family business as well and they're a delight to have in your home. They're also very conscious about cleaning up after themselves. I would definitely hire them again....you should too!"

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.

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.
