The installation booklet that comes with the spacers from the Seves Company says do NOT overlap the side straps and metal reinforcing rods.

This is the video I watched several times to replace a double-hung wooden window over my bathtub. Excellent instructions as my glass block install came out great! One thing about spacers: I bought 4-inch Reliabilt spacers sold by Lowes. Most worked but some didn't snap off cleanly, which left humps in the joints when I tried to strike the joints. I would suggest buying the name brand spacers (like Seves) instead of the knock-offs.

Is it possible to install these in a wood wall without using mortar? Is there some sort of frame I can buy or frame kit that would allow installation with shims, backer rod, and caulk instead of mortar?

@Ballen1182 I saw a video where someone did a DIY version where they used PVC boards that were the depth of the wall and glued them to the prefab window to make a frame. It was interior and he nailed up pieces of wood on the opposite side of where he was putting the window in to keep it from falling through. Not sure how that would work for exterior if you already have siding and don't want to damage it-- although, I suppose you could load it from the outside and use wood blocks on the inside to keep it from falling through, but I want it almost flush with the outside, not the inside.

@Ballen1182 I forgot to mention that the person who made the frame used the tracks that are used when building the glass block windows for an installation and he screwed those to the PVC frame and then glued the glass block window inside those tracks and then screwed the frame together. I need to find the name/link to that video again. You can use the tracks for installing the window into an existing frame (without building one) but you have to cut the top and side tracks in half so that you can slide the glass block window in (after setting it in the bottom track. Might even have to cut all 4 actually depending on how much room you have to maneuver. Tracks keep it from falling forward too much and then you secure the other halfs of the tracks behind.

I have very old glass block window and in a couple areas the mortar has begun to crumble out a bit, can I just fill it with fresh goo after I clean up all the loose mortar? And what do you recommend I use?

thanks for the video. I have a question: what if the window is made from 22 blocks, so the weight is around 50 kg. Wouldn't it be convenient to put in (while constructing the window from blocks) to put in some metal rods or something which you could introduce inside the walls to ensure it wouldn't fall if you lean on it?
@sirpainter1

Don't lean into it! Put something in front of it like a table & don't have a drunken frat party just in case they didn't see the table. Wyoming humor. PS - Convenient is not a construction term.

Great training! I’m an older woman and I believe that I can do this (with a helper to hold the window). Lowe’s gave an in-person training with single blocks and adhesive from a tube. Single blocks would be easier for me to handle with my weak arms. Thank you for the info.❤

When you use the vertical anchors to attach to the horizontal spacers, do you still need to use the bottom and top channel perimeter pieces? And if you don't need the bottom and top channel perimeter pieces, how do you complete installation at the bottom and top of the glass block window?
