Wonderful Window
I had this placed in my bathroom and it is quite attractive and lets in a lot of light. I've received many compliments on it. Well made, arrived quickly and (according to the contractor) was easy to install.

Perfect fit window panel
The glassblock window panels were made exactly to the online specs and fit perfectly in my basement casement windows. The factory silicone joints between the blocks are strong and neat.

Great for DYI
These blocks come pre assembled and that makes it easy to install. The only drawback is that not all windows are exactly the same size. The dimensions for the same window can vary as much as 1/2". So measure every window to make sure you make the correct rough in. I didn't and had to move a stud 1/2" to make the two windows fit the space.

Just what I wanted
I haven't installed it yet but it looks great. My issue with this item is that I received a call from New England Motor, a delivery service, on the Monday before Thanksgiving stating that I would receive the item the following day. I would get a phone call 1/2 hour before delivery and I had to sign for it. It never came. In fact after calling both the delivery service and the store for nearly two weeks, it was finally delivered last Friday. I felt like a prisoner as I never got a call telling me when it would come and I had to sign for it. The customer service representatives at Home Depot were all courteous, but they were unable to get any more info from the shipper than I was. I am happy with my purchase but not satisfied with the shipper.

    34.75 IN. X 25.5 IN. X 3 IN. GUARDWISE DECORA PATTERN SOLID GLASS BLOCK WINDOW
    Very well pleased with quality, construction, and ease of installation of the glass block window. I was a little apprehensive reading about the quality of the construction of the windows, but no issues here. Also, I had to order online since it appears they do not carry this in many stores now. That was a little inconvenient since I like to see and touch what I am working with. They were shipped and received in about 10 days.

    Product arrived without flaws
    The product was well packed and strapped to a wooden base (pallet) Rough opening was well prepared with proper dimensions and Installation was not difficult. The product may be a bit too heavy for some. It provided the light as well as privacy. Completely satisfied with product and the results.

    Good solution for oddly sized basement window
    Bought the pre-assembled glass block window thinking that it would be more professionally done than I could have done myself, but I was wrong. The glass blocks are just held together with clear caulk, so I could have saved some money and bought the blocks individually. It was, however, easy to install and I am happy with the end result.

    Pittsburg Corning Solid block glass
    Better if framed but much better than assembling individual blocks. Came as ordered and fit right in to the rough openings.

      Awesome addition to third floor windowless bathroom..
      This window brings so much light into a small windowless third floor bath. Great alternative to stacking each block.Not only does it bring in lots of light, it seems to keep the bath just a little warmer in the snowy wintertime It is really heavy so get some help....wonderful addition to our mountain home. Thanks HD!

      Other than price this product met or exceeded all expectations.
      Beautiful window! Had it installed in our bathroom. Let's in tons of light and will not rot like the window I replaced. Contractor had no issues installing. I ordered 2 more windows from a different company because of a vent feature that this one did not have. They were cheaper but my contractor said they were not as good quality because of the type and amount of silicon used. You get what you pay for.

      Good value - as represented
      Window looks good. Very practical for replacing old steel frame basement windows. Great option to permit for dryer exhaust. Requires some knowledge of installation techniques (not for the inexperienced amateur).

      beautiful and sturdy
      I was pleasantly surprised at the thoroughness of the silicone sealant used between blocks. No loose ones, no issue holding up during install. Only the tiniest scratches from transport. It ended up being alternating 6" x 8" and 8" x 8" blocks to make the dimensions as asked.

      Pretty Window but - NOT for a shower
      Other reviews indicated this window was used in a bathroom even a shower but it is only MODERATE privacy do not buy this for a shower. Also we did not get free shipping as others indicated it cost quite a bit to ship. It's pretty but not as others stated.

      Looks Good
      The window looks good, but it's bowed in the middle. The window deviates 3/8" from the middle to sides. The window specifications are incorrect in the description. I called the manufacturer before I framed the opening and he confirmed 46.5 x 35.5 assembled dimensions, but when the window arrived, it was 46.5 X 34.5. I had to modify the sill and weatherproof again. Between the bow and wrong advertised dimensions, window was more difficult to install than it should have been.

        Bathroom Window
        Awesome solution to replace a window in a tub/shower. Delivery was quick and free and installation was easy for a diy'er. If you have and doubts just check out youtube and there are several methods of installation that are appropriate and easy. :)
