Is it possible to install these in a wood wall without using mortar? Is there some sort of frame I can buy or frame kit that would allow installation with shims, backer rod, and caulk instead of mortar?

I have very old glass block window and in a couple areas the mortar has begun to crumble out a bit, can I just fill it with fresh goo after I clean up all the loose mortar? And what do you recommend I use?
@kattuxi6 ай бұрын
thanks for the video. I have a question: what if the window is made from 22 blocks, so the weight is around 50 kg. Wouldn't it be convenient to put in (while constructing the window from blocks) to put in some metal rods or something which you could introduce inside the walls to ensure it wouldn't fall if you lean on it?
@sirpainter16 ай бұрын
Don't lean into it! Put something in front of it like a table & don't have a drunken frat party just in case they didn't see the table. Wyoming humor. PS - Convenient is not a construction term.

Great training! I’m an older woman and I believe that I can do this (with a helper to hold the window). Lowe’s gave an in-person training with single blocks and adhesive from a tube. Single blocks would be easier for me to handle with my weak arms. Thank you for the info.❤

When you use the vertical anchors to attach to the horizontal spacers, do you still need to use the bottom and top channel perimeter pieces? And if you don't need the bottom and top channel perimeter pieces, how do you complete installation at the bottom and top of the glass block window?

RGF Industries: I need to install one of your REDI2SET vent windows in my entry DOOR, except that the width of my door is ~2 inches, and the width of your vent is ~3 inches. I know that your vent is designed for glass blocks. Can you possibly manufacture a 24 x 8 inch vent that can be installed in my DOOR? You already make a 24 x 8 inch size vent for glass block. This could be a million dollar idea. It is ridiculous that I am unable to find such a vent in the entire planet! Why are they made only for glass block windows and not DOORS? I need a door window vent that can be opened and closed, and that has an insect screen. There is a need for such vents to be installed on exterior doors!!! Please get the idea out there asap, and start manufacturing them to sell the product. Such vents would be ideal in hot hot weather, and for use in spaces, such as enclosed porches and entryways. They are more secure than leaving a window open for ventilation of ordinary home spaces above the basement level. Thank you. I'm sure you will be thanking me if you use this idea, and I'm sure you will profit from it.
