This video explains the replacement of a glass block in a window. This is a very DIY sort of activity when you remodel or rehabilitate a house. Anyone can replace a glass block with just a few bucks worth of tools. Don’t forget that the most important part of any project is to wear the right protective gear, safety glasses, if needed: hearing protection, gloves (both for protection from cuts and scrapes and splinters, and for protection from chemicals.
There are no paid promotions in this video.

Thanks for the clear instructions. We have a similar job to do and it looks like with a bit of patience, the correct tools and this video we should be able to tackle the job.

Nice clean job. Maybe better to simply butter the block on 3 sides before setting it onto the mortar base.

Thanks! It might be easier but this mortar wets out pretty dry and crumbly compared to brick mortar. It's worth a try.

Did you leave the wood blocks in that you put in at the bottom?

@PhilHattonMakesStuff 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. We used construction adhesive to glue the blocks on place. Since we used perdue treated wood it's fine in contact with the foundation walls.

Have you thought of just replacing the whole glass blocks with a window? So you can open window to get fresh air.

This window is by the stairs to the basement and there are windows in the basement that open, plus this would be a custom window size so we didn't want to spend the money.
