How to replace a glass block window vent.
Let me know what you think.
Hello bbtoy and welcome to the community.
Install the cut block in place of the broken one using the same type of mortar or epoxy.
I have two of the window vents that need to be replaced.
I bought the 16x8 inch replacedment vents.
The basement windows are glass block.
Put on heavy duty work gloves safety glasses and a face mask.
Set the blade of the 1 2 inch mason s chisel on the mortar joint.
Watch the professionals at wmgb home improvement install a glass block window.
I was advised to have a vent installed in the glass block window.
Use a hammer and chisel to break the glass then remove the smaller pieces.
You have a great question and one that has come up before.
Step 3 replace the block.
The vents vary in size but are made to fit into the spot of one or more blocks of glass.
Inspect the glass block to determine whether it has been installed with mortar the cement that holds bricks together or with clear or white.
This is what i have planned.
