We are looking at installing glass block windows in our older home. We have talked with a few installers and I have questions. Some use mortar, some use silicone to construct the windows - your opinion on which is better? Better to fill in the gap between the windows or not (concave shape in between)? Completely removable screens or not? All opinions are welcome. Thanks! |

| Both work well. Something to consider though. We were installing glass block windows for a policeman and he requested that we use mortar instead of the silicone, because the silicone is easily cut. I never thought of that before. |

| That's interesting about the silicone. Why would you put screens on glass block windows? |
