Silicone Windows
To date there have been no tests by any manufacturer on 3-inch basement windows made with silicone.
Glass Block windows made with silicone are merely caulked on the inside and outside edge. They are hollow between the glass blocks.
Other names for silicone: hot melt-adhesive, power sealant, crazy glue, gorilla glue, super glue, etc.
Silicone will not last as long as mortar.
The strength of a silicone window can easily be compromised with the use of a razor knife.
Silicone windows are susceptible to black mold on the inside of the window.
Silicone windows are susceptible to condensation on the inside of the window.

Mortar Built Windows
Have been extensively tested by the manufacturer and approved for hurricane force winds, water and air penetration.
Glass Block is designed and engineered for masonry (mortar) application – not silicone (International Building code – Section 2103).
Mortar built windows will not mold inside; they are completely filled from front to back.
Mortar has been used in glass block applications for over 100 years.
It is much more expensive to make a window in mortar than it is to piece it together with silicone. Generally, silicone windows are made because they are less expensive and can be made quickly and easily.
GLASS BLOCK IT!
Hi! I'm Andrew Olaf Klefstad the owner of West Bend Glass Block. I started in the masonry trade with my father when I was 16 years old - I've been doing this work for many years! My dad & I poured concrete, did chimney repair, and glass block. I've always really enjoyed working with glass block, which is why I decided to open my own shop.

When we install new basement windows, we remove the old window and frame, then mortar new glass block windows into your foundation.
