Why is glass block so expensive?

<div>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. </div>

How much do glass block windows cost to install?

<div>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-average-glass-block-prices.htm">average cost to install glass block windows</a> 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:<ul><li>Clear glass blocks: $10–$30 per block</li><li>Colored glass blocks: $25–$40 per block</li><li>Acrylic glass blocks: $15–$25 per block</li><li>Wavy glass blocks: $10–$30 per block</li><li>Alpha glass blocks: $15–$25 per block</li><li>Ice glass blocks: $20–$35 per block</li><li>Diamond glass blocks: $20–$75 per block</li><li>Frosted glass blocks: $30–$35 per block</li></ul></div>

Do glass block windows need maintenance?

<div>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.</div>
