Very easy to install and looks great
I replaced a 50 year old bathroom window with this product and it was easy to order, free shipping delivered to my door. Installation was easy though it was a 3 person job, 2 people to lift it into place and one to make sure it did not fall out the other side. Very pleased with the window and myself as it is the first window I have done.

These were EASY!
I had 4 basement windows to do. I first started with just one to see how hard it would be and I figured since they had free shipping for this, I couldn't go wrong. I did a little research online and learned how to install these. They turned out beautiful! I will tell you one more thing. They didn't carry the style I wanted that also had the dryer vent. So I ordered one without the dryer vent, then carefully removed one of the blocks by removing the silicone. I then installed the dryer vent with silicone and allowed it to set up for a week before attempting to install it. It worked perfectly and was much cheaper than having to special order just one window. These things also are incredible at soundproofing. I had no idea just how much until I got them in. Our basement won't be ice cold this winter. Made in the USA!

This glass block window can't be beat.
Perfect size to replace old glass and steel windows that have seen thier day. Easy to install, size is made to fit into empty rough opening. Price was amazing as I looked up custom made glass block windows on the internet and the price was approx. $300.00. Glass blocks are from Owens-Corning and American made.

Awesome look
Bought this unit to bring some light into a dark bathroom. Turned out looking great not too difficult to install look online for videoes. The blocks are pretty heavy and of course fragile make sure to have substantial framing

    Good quality, Strong assembly
    The glass block windows arrived with the packaging in poor condition and I was expecting to find the glass damaged. To my surprise both windows were in good condition and installed very easily. Dimensions were as advertised. The windows are sturdy and do not flex when handled. The only small problem was one of the seams in one window assembly lacked enough silicon to fill the seam, but that was easy to remedied by adding some clear silicone.

    Unexpected size
    This product is actually 32.75" and not 33.5" as listed. Unfortunately for me this meant a return. Note that the unit is made from blocks of two different sizes.

      Easy to install
      I'm relatively handy at home renovation and I found these really easy to install in my basement. I purchased seven of them and delivery was fast and easy. I was able to do them myself over two days.

        Excellent Quality and Simple Installation
        I used these solid glass window to replace old windows in our basement. The basement feels much safer now with these glass block windows. Light flows nicely and the basement is now much warmer. To install, I simply used mortar cement. The only hard part of the installation is the juggling the weight of the solid window into position. On the subject of weight Home Depot includes free shipping.

        Great product
        Was looking to install single blocks with motar and grout, cost was a lot more than this preassembled unit. Saw other sizes but we wanted the light to enter the bath and not the neighbors eyes. Had a 36 x 72 clear window before. Just framed for this and easy install. Wood wedges to center it in frame, clear silicone to seal edges. Next day remove wedges and fill voids. The picture doesn't give it justice.

        Quality Made in USA Product!!
        Ordered to replace original wood framed basement window. Packaging was superb, very well protected for shipping. Window looked great, installation for a DIYer approx 3 hours with no help. Brings in light to the basement while providing protection and privacy.

        Used in shower wall
        Much easier than putting together your own glass block window. Used glass block window in interior shower wall to allow natural light in to shower. Able to tile around and seal. Looks great and functions as expected.

        Came with no nailing kit as promised
        Very disappointing it showed up with no way to install and they wouldn't just send the install kit I have to wait a whole additional week for a new one to come

        LOOK VERY NICE INSTALLED
        ONE HAD A LITTLE CRACK IN THE ONE LITTLE BLOCK. INSTALLED ANYWAY, AS WE ALSO PUT WINDOW WELL COVERS IN TOO. CALLED HOME DEPOT & THEY GAVE ME A $20.00 STORE CREDIT. ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT WERE IT NOT FOR THE SMALL CRACK.

        Awesome Value
        What a great price for these windows. We used them for added light in our newly renovated bathroom as well as an accent piece. They seem to be very well made.

        excellent value
        great appearance, solid glass blocks preassembled at factory with silicone joints, some shipping damage (a horizontal joint line separated due to excess weight placed in the center of the unit laying flat, shipper's fault), easily repaired with same silicone from the store. Installed easily, it's heavy (2 people), but looks great.

        Great price
        Used this for our basement remodel and it was a perfect fit. Had the contractor build a small frame around it so it could be just slipped into the existing window's steel casing (leaving the existing window also intact). Looks great from the inside, and is not really visible from the outside. Just what we were looking for.

        Excellent value
        These Corning glass block windows are excellent for certain applications. They are solid, attractive and let in plenty of light but maintain privacy and security. I needed a window in my dark bedroom, and this worked out great. They seem to be designed to go into concrete block or other solid walls, but I put mine in a standard framed wall. Instructions are minimal, but essentially, you just shim it into place and shoot silicone caulking all around and then trim it normally. The silicone holds it securely, but I think there should be some alternative for conventional framing, such as a border or fin of some sort. However, it did work out very well and I'm extremely pleased with the appearance and the reasonable price (under $100).

        SOLID well sealed, ready to install...
        Window was delivered well packed and protected from damage. Corning glass block is simply the BEST quality one can purchase. The seal between blocks is flawless and holds up even under water (which is why we purchased them) Not much more to say, great value, top grade materials, I would put nothing else in where glass block is needed...
