Dear James: There have been break-ins in my neighborhood, so I want to install glass block windows for security. What are some tips for installing mortar-type glass blocks?—Nina D.
Dear Nina: Complete glass block window installation kits are available, but it is not difficult to do it yourself using individual glass blocks and mortar. This will result in an extremely strong window that would take a thief a long while to break through. Most thieves would avoid them.
