"I called the folks at A BROKEN WINDSHIELD and we scheduled a time for them to come and replace our cracked windshield. I had located this provided from the Angie's List catalog we receive each month. I was especially interested because they offered to waive the $100.00 deductible, which I really appreciated. They came at the appointed time, a bit late, but they assured me that the job would be done quickly and efficiently, allowing me to get to a doctor's appointment on time. I must admit, I had my doubts if this was possible, but boy, was I ever wrong. I was totally amazed that the entire process, removing the old glass and replacing it with a new windshield was done in less than 45 minutes. They did a beautiful job, left no mess at all, were polite, efficient, and lots of fun to talk to. I highly recommend these folks. I have used many Angie's List providers successfully, and this was no exception. Got a broken windshield? Call "A BROKEN WINDSHIELD" asap! You won't be sorry."

Glass Block questions, answered by experts

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.

Glass walls are more expensive overall than their brick or drywall counterparts. However, if you need walls for a building with more than two or three stories, glass walls are the more budget-friendly option.

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.

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.

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.

  • Energy efficient

  • Sealed to prevent drafts
