Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I measure my windows?
Measure from each side of the foundation (with removal of the frame) and from the top of the sill to the header above the existing window. Most bathroom replacement windows are measured in terms of the opening that will exist after the window sash (but not the frame) has been removed.

2) Should I purchase premade windows with mortar, silicone or your Innovate Protect All process?
Mortar, silicone and the Protect All fabrication processes each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but purchasing premade windows, rather than installing windows block by block, almost always creates a better finished product and saves money. Learn the advantages of the highest protection assembly technology (Protect All) as well!

• Mortar Advantages - Harder to break through, traditional masonry look, more variation in joint size.
• Silicone Advantages - All-glass look, windows come out smaller in size, easy to clean.
• Innovate Protect All Advantages - Hardest system of all to break through, uses a consistent 1/8" silicone joint for maximum protection vs. water & air infiltration, 22% more energy efficient, protects vs. any cracking of mortar joints between the blocks

3) Can I order premade glass block windows in different colors, designs, and patterns?
We carry the broadest selection of designer glass blocks. We can even personalize your project with a one-of-a-kind etched and engraved blocks.

4) Are your windows made with frames or without frames?
Most basement windows are made without frames and then mortared into concrete block or poured wall foundations. In remodeling projects, the majority of bathroom windows are premade without frames. In new construction projects, it is best to use vinyl frame glass block windows.

5) How do you finish glass block bathroom windows on the inside and outside?
The answer depends on the surrounding materials on the inside and outside. We'll look at the  conditions at each job site and make the best recommendation for how to finish things off. If you're outside of our regional installation areas just send us some digital images and we'll work you through what to use. Below are our general recommendations.

• Inside - If we find that the existing tile that returns to the window being replaced is in good condition, we butt the glass block up to the tile and mortar it into place. If the existing tile is not in good shape, we install a vinyl trim kit (see the picture below), new tile, or a solid-surface material like cultured marble to finish the window replacement.
• Outside - For brick and block window openings, we mortar in the window. For stucco or vinyl or wood siding, we generally seal the window to aluminum- or PVC-coated vinyl coil stock wrapped around wood trim (see the picture below).

6) What’s your company’s reputation for service?
We have installed  and wholesaled across the country over 800,000 glass block windows for 180,000 customers. We’re also accredited by the Better Business Bureau and have received the Consumer’s Choice Service Award.
