I cannot attest to installation, as I paid my contractor to do it :) I had him install the vent section 'upside-down' so the opening is at the bottom which allows steam to escape and doesn't allow water to enter the opening.
I LOVE glass cubes, and that is the FIRST and easiest decision I made in my bathroom upgrade.

Looks better than I expected.
The glass block window looks great in place of the old single pane aluminum framed crank out style window. I installed it in my basement bathroom. It adds more security, privacy and efficiency. The small window in the middle allows air circulation when wanted and looks good too.

Fantastic replacement windows for our basement
These are substantial, quality windows that arrived quickly and safely at our little three-unit condo building. (Keep in mind the delivery is a sidewalk drop.) Our contractor was impressed and so were we, plus we're happy they're made in the USA. Our building is old so it wasn't a matter of just removing old windows and popping in new ones. There was crumbling old mortar and deteriorated wood to deal with. Even so, it was not a difficult process. The Decora pattern is beautiful and we get both the light and privacy we wanted.

Old coal door
I replaced an old steel coal door and frame with a glass block and vent window. Fit great and looks good.

Very nice product.
Replaced my old wood basement windows with the Guardwise glass block window. Much improved security, lighting and appearance.

Love these windows
My handyman had to split them in half and put them back together, but I must add that these were 24 x 48 in. and the vent went all the way down, so it is not as weird as it sounds. He also needed another person to help install. Maybe the difficulty in installation was due to the size and weight. They are in now and look great. Love everything about them- the vent works well, there is total privacy and brilliant light from the west in the afternoon.

Much Ado About Little
Poor "hands on" literature,; no video for my application. Company claims use in bathroom, but no literature for bath, no video! Better to BUILD YOUR OWN with blocks and channel system, or seek out other competitors' products!

Not as pictured
Please note that the number and sizes of glass blocks used is different than pictured for the 38x26 window. I'm sure this applies to other sizes as well. The product listing made no mention of that. This window is also about $70 more than the next size smaller which seems odd. The window itself is good quality and fairly easy to install.

nice product, custom size was right
Nice looking product for the price. Shipped to home. Arrived in good condition. Brightened up my bathroom with the extra light it allows. No window coverings necessary. Installation went as expected. Installer (me) wasn't the best but got the job done. Happy overall with purchase.

Awesome Bathroom Window
This window is perfect in my bathroom. It's located in the shower area but easy to wipe down and has a great vent for air without the build up of water in a regular open window. You can leave the vent open while not at home without the worry of a break in. It totally sparkles with the sun coming through it, I ordered one for my my neighbors as well. Luv Luv Luv it. Will order one for our Colorado cabin as well.

Window looks great.
I ordered the window to replace a window still in the shower area of an older house. The window comes put together but no frame or parts so you have to review installation instructions found online, but it is up and looks great. I am very happy with this window.

Great product
This product installs fairly easy (is a two person job).
Love the venting window.
Arrived earlier than expected.
The negative to this window is that it is very heavy, but also it is a glass block window so it is expected.

Great features except Florida State Approval number
Great features except installation in Florida is impossible.
