I recently had the pleasure of working with Paul and Shauna from That Glass Guy, and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From the start, Shauna was diligent in responding, and Paul stood out by coming out to measure the space to ensure he had the size and pricing right—something...
That Glass guyEd handled the glass with great caution and care and made the entire process very easy
Talked to Trent on the phone, sent a couple of pics, he knows right off what needs to be done, gave a good quote, and came over to the house to make sure the right size glass was ordered. Professional craftsmanship, as if original! Emailed my receipt, will not hesitate to call again for...
BEAUTIFUL job! I had a piece of glass replaced so he wanted to wait for it to set before he cleaned those windows, will be coming back to finish them soon.
RJ came out within the same day that I requested a bid. He made a few measurements and then explained why replacing my glass was not likely to be the best solution for my application. He gave a ballpark idea of the price for replacing this glass (thousands of dollars!) and then recommended a...
I called and left a message and never heard back. I called again a few days later and got a very rude response from the company saying that a dispatcher would call me in a few days. They never did. So I gave them one last try and they came by to give an estimate. After they surveyed the...
Overall it went very well. Glass was not installed on the original date quoted, but Clint kept us informed as to when the install would finally take place. Very professional.
He installed one of the windows upstairs and the other one downstairs. The one upstairs has caulk all on the corners of the glass that he didn t wipe off and it is too high for me to get up there and do it myself. So overall I think the job was alright, but not great. The downstairs window is...

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 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.
The average cost to install glass block windows is about $710, ranging from $460 to $1,000, depending on the size and design of the window, installation type, and location. Different styles of glass blocks also impact the cost:
Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block
Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block
Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block
Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block
Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block
Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block
Typically, glass block windows last about 15 to 30 years, slightly less than regular windows, which last 20 to 50 years. Resealing glass blocks can help extend the lifespan of this bathroom feature. The key to ensuring that glass block windows last as long as possible is to have a professional glass block installer place them. Glass block pros will have the skills, tools, and knowledge required to install these special features into any space, noting obstacles like damaged windows or too-cramped areas during the consultation.
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.
