"They look great! The installation process took less than 10 minutes. I am so happy with my frames, they cost $800 less than I would have paid had I had the builder install them. I will definitely recommend this company in the future, and use them again should I need new frames!!

"The job was performed in two phases, first the shower, than a few days later, the windows. In both cases, Enrique and Isaac showed up on time. They did an excellent job in all aspects of the work. I should note that Raintree's price was the low bidder of three bids. The promptness and quality of work was superb. I highly recommend Raintree for Glass work. I would not hesitate to have them do additional work at my house."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

Options include tempered, laminated, and tinted glass for various needs.

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.

Luckily, glass block windows need minimal maintenance. Other than regular cleaning, the only maintenance involved in having a glass block window is inspecting for cracks every year and applying sealer to the mortar joints if the blocks are set in masonry mortar. Glass block windows hold up well against wind and moisture better than traditional windows and are not prone to rot.

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.

Pros

  • Maintains privacy while letting light into the bathroom

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Strong and secure

Cons

  • Costly to install

  • Challenging installation

  • Challenging repair

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.
