glass block vents

11 years ago

Hello I have glass block window units in my basement. they have 8x16 aluminum crank out vents with glass louvers. over the years, the louvers have been hard to get when they need replacement, now they are unavailable locally. does anyone know a source on the internet where I can purchase these louvers. or would it be better to replace the vents with the newer vinyl. Thank you

Either or... I'm sure that you have a local company that specializes in glass block, so I'd give them a call to see what they have.
A new style should provide a better seal, so from that perspective you would probably be better off.
