"We had gotten about 5 estimates from different contractors. Although James was not the cheapest, we were so impressed with his manner, his professionalism, and his desire to work with us that we went ahead and hired his company. We could not have made a better choice! These gentlemen work as if they were working on their own projects! They arrived on time, went right to work, and were very pleasant and accomodating to my wife and our 2 small dogs while I was at work. After seeing how hard they worked and how professional they were (not to mention the outstanding quality of their work), we asked them to do some other general contractor things around the house such as changing a large light in the kitchen, installing some crown moldings, and painting a hallway. They were thrilled to help and jumped right in...We will recommend Marshall Construction to anyone asking and I carry one of their business cards in my wallet so that I can pass it on to people! As a matter of fact, they are coming back to do some concrete work for us next month!"

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Glass block windows come in various patterns and styles that offer privacy and unique aesthetics. Frosted or textured glass diffuses light and enhances privacy. Wave-pattern glass blocks imitate ocean waves with flowing lines. Ice-glass blocks resemble cracked ice. Fluted glass blocks feature parallel vertical grooves, adding texture and depth. Clear glass blocks, similar to glass Coke bottles, offer transparency with some distortion and may have smooth surfaces or subtle textures, adding visual interest.

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 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.
