STEP 2.

After the opening has been prepped, Set the glass

block window into the opening. From the outside, place a shim

in each of the two bottom corners and then from the inside

place an additional shim in the center at the top of the window.

It is best to have a helper inside holding your window in place

until the window is firmly shimmed in place. Center your

window in the opening so that the space on the top, bottom,

and each side is equal. Tap on the shims until the window is

firmly secured in place.

CAUTION: Do not tap the glass block to adjust the window

in the opening.

NOTE: If you are installing a vented glass block window, the

vent keeper latch should be located on the inside and should

be at the top.

STEP 1.

Remove the existing window from the wall opening

using a hacksaw, crowbar and/or hammer. Make sure to remove

the old fame completely leaving a clean and ﬂat surface.

SET UP.

Measure the existing opening (width & height) as

if the existing window & frame were already removed from the

opening. When choosing a replacement size window go down

to the nearest even inch, both in width and height.

FOR EXAMPLE: if the opening measures 31¼”x 16½ your

replacement window size would be 30”x16”

Our glass block windows are stocked in the most common sizes

and can be special ordered in sizes on the even inch.

BEFORE REMOVING THE EXISTING WINDOW

Double check that the new window you are putting in will

properly ﬁt into the opening and is the correct size. To ensure

a good ﬁt, measure the window opening as if the existing

frame had been already removed. The rough opening mea

surement should be 1/2” in. to 1” in. wider than the actual

size of your replacement glass block window & frame. The

gap between the new window and the rough opening will be

ﬁlled with mortar (not included).
