8 1/2 inches by 15 inches in size. Apparently, labor charges are higher when they work on a high floor level. Not sure why that made a difference as I don't think the young man stepped out on the widow ledge when the installation was being done. In the end, however, I was pleased with the work, and as I mentioned, both young men were very easy to deal with and very polite. I would use this company again, however I know next time to ask more questions during the appointment booking.

I was told by the woman that they could certainly do it, but I would have to pay for it! I said, " No, that won't be necessary, thank you. And I will never do business with you again." Bobbitt Glass does not stand behind their work, and their customer service is terrible. Use them at your peril.*********As to Bobbit's response: hogwash. The tabletop does not fit and never did. Regardless of whose fault it was that the glass does not fit, whether it was an outside source or in-house, it was specified, twice, how it was to fit and they failed to provide.

This company was only one of two glass companies willing to come out to my Midtown loft on a weekend to replace a small single pane of glass on a street-facing window located on the 4th floor. Other companies I contacted either would not book a weekend appointment or could not be bothered...

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.
