"This company was recommended by my contractor AND is highly rated on Angie's List. They were quick to respond, on time for EVERY appointment, and the installers were fast and cleaned up after the installation. The finished product is absolutely stunning! The existing frame in one room was framed and looks beautiful..... No longer looks like a builder installed mirror. The master bath has 3 different size walls which required different size custom mirrors and exact placement of the mirrors to look balanced. Ashton Reed was prompt, professional, and has a GREAT eye for coming up with a design that compliments the room! The end result is better than I could have ever dreamed! If you are looking for something to make your bathroom look like a luxurious spa then I recommend Mirrorcle 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

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.

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.

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.

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