We're looking to get these for our new house since our builder recommended them. He said their a lot thicker than traditional windows and near impossible to brake into. Are they that much more expensive?
Thanks! |

These are very nice to have and they do look great! We have the blocks in our basement windows. towards the center of the block, we have a very small window that can be opened incase we need additional light/air in the basement. It's a really nice feature. I'm not sure how much they cost since we bought our house used. These are definitely worth looking into!
Hope all goes well, |

I'm really going to have to check up on them. The idea of a single small window opening up inside the blocks sounds pretty nice! Thanks a lot for the post  |

The price really depends on the material used and the local labor cost. In the northeast the prices are generally higher due to a smaller skilled labor pool and not much product demand. In the south glass block is a more common material with more skilled installers, hence a lower price. |

| We love our block windows. They make our home look 1000X times better. I would highly recommend them if they are within your budget. |
