"The entire process went quite smoothly from the design evaluation to the installation. We were given a multitude of frame choices from which we picked two. A quote was provided at athat time. Once we ordered, the installation occurred within a week and took approximately an hour. The effect of the frames is dramatic, much more than I anticipated. At the outset I didn't know what to expect and after having gone through the experience would recommend Mirrorcle Frames unequivocally."

"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."

"We wanted a storm door that would be sturdier than the previous door we purchased at the big box store. We also wanted professional installation. The salesman sat down with us and: 1. Gave a free quote 2. Measured the door frame 3. Suggested a bronze frame to blend in with our wood grained front door. 4. Suggested the satin nickel door handles. 5. And suggested the glass thickness for greater storm protection. 6. hauled off the original broken door. 7. And was up front of the 3 week turn around time before installation. The installers were: 1. courteous adressing us as yes sir and yes ma'am. 2. Meticulous making sure the door frame was strong enough to securely hold their door. 3. Did not leave until I had a chance to review their work and ask questions. I would definitely use this company again."

Of all the companies that I called, Richmond Affordable Glass, were by far the quickest in responding to give me a quote that was very acceptable. I would highly recommend Alex and Richmond Affordable Glass to my family, friends, and neighbors."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
