Love the glass block!

13 years ago

I live in Richmond, VA and was wondering who you used to install the glass block. I am trying to finish a DIY remodel and need profession help!

Welllll....I only refer contractors with whom I've had a favorable relationship. With that in mind, I would rather not give you this man's contact information. If you are a reasonably good DIYer, go to the Pittsburgh Corning site for easy to follow instructions. http://pittsburghcorning.com/project-planning/installation/default.aspx
It's a gorgeous day here in the River City, isn't it? If I can ever help with your projects, let me know.

Thank you for your response! Because it's a relatively small project and I'm on a budget (teacher's salary) I've had a tough time finding professional help. I do love your work!

Thank you for the compliment. The Pittsburgh site is very user friendly. You plug in all your information and it gives you a complete shopping list along with the suggested type of installation. Hey...if you're a teacher, you can do this! Seriously, I don't think it's hard and there are no special tools or heavy lifting involved. Go for it!
BTW, all the glass block and installation materials were purchased from Lowe's.
