Customer Reviews for TAFCO WINDOWS 27.625 in. x 11.875 in. NailUp2 Wave Pattern Solid Glass Block Window

They arrived in great shape very well packed and were very easy to install.

I absolutely LOVE this window. I remodeled my bathroom and installed this window. It is my FAVORITE thing in the new bathroom. I got several quotes of over $2000 for a contractor to build me a block window. This is a GREAT value and luckily it fit perfect. NOTE: The window weighs 200 pounds!!! Be careful how you move it/lay it so you don't crack any seals. Store upright and keep packing on until you get it to its location.

The best part is getting a pre-assembled unit, which saves DIY'ers from having to assemble a glass block window from scratch-- it's more difficult than it seems. That being writ, the actual window we received does have imperfections, specifically: a couple of the glass blocks are slightly misaligned from the others in the grid. The window looks good installed though and the glass blocks are genuine. As is often the case, you get what you pay for. In this case, you'd have a difficult time finding this item for a better price.

For First time buyer of this window product, I totally recomend this window. Solid in construction and was very easy to install.

this window is very affordable and easy to install! It is a great value for the price! I would highly recommend it. (I'm a female and could easily install it.)

Window units are nice units. Removing old window frames in concete a pain. End product when done, they look great!

A very nice window and easy to install once you figure out how the nailing fins work (no instructions on how to use the nailing fins included or on any website I could find). You need to watch out for chips on the corners of the blocks, either from shipping or manufacturing. Not easily visible, but very dangerous if you wipe your hand across the window. Needed to return half of my order due to chips and reorder. Still very happy with the look after installed.

Excellent product and easy to install. It would be nice if they included instructions for the plastic mounting pieces included.

Just installed this weekend. Was easy. We love the appearance. Should keep bathroom warmer, also

The item came with some small scratches on the glass blocks that we would not have accepted, but we were in a time crunch with our project and we couldn't wait for a replacement window. The only other thing that I don't love about the window would be the seams between the glass blocks. The silicone applied by the machine isn't exactly clean. Overall, we are happy with the window and it fits our needs very well. For the price, we couldn't do better and we can look past a few minor annoyances for a great deal.

The window is nicely made looks great and the price was not much more than a regular window.

I am a do it yourself home improvement person. I recently had an addition built on my garage, the original part is cinder block I have installed two of these windows using mortar very simple. Excellent product, highly recommended. If I had a place too use these in my house I would buy more.

The plastic mounting strips are worthless, they hold the window in place so the window doesn't fall out while the glue is drying. The window looks great. Plenty of light shines through!

I purchased four of these windows to replace my existing standard metal/glass basement windows. Product was well made and the quality of the glass block was very good. I found no defects and while some of the outside shipping boxes were damaged the inside product was very well protected with its own cardboard box and plenty of additional bubble wrap. (Lots of bubble wrap!) Glass blocks were made of very clear & clean looking glass with no internal or surface defects. TIP: Instructions that came with my windows did not point out that there are two weep holes in the bottom of one side of the frame. These holes must not be covered by frames, caulk or mortar.

Real glass block window set with silicone in a thin vinyl frame. The window came with nail fins that snapped into the frame for installation. The 32x24 window weighed approximately 70 pounds, so it took some help to install it. I had it level and installed in less than 15 minutes.

We are really pleased with the look of this window. It was placed in a shower and is a huge improvement over the standard window we had. The biggest draw back is that the window is extremely heavy and awkward to maneuver into place. Once in place the installation wasn't to difficult.

I replaced two of my bathroom window with these block glass window. Huge difference! Lets the light in, and also provides privacy. Note you will need some man power, because they are very heavy. But well worth it!

We used this in an old house we were rehabbng and it kept the bathroom from being dark and made it more inviting.

The nail flanges were not useful for replacing basement windows. They are heavy when you have to hoist them up into their spot. They were consistently sized, plumb, and solid.

Great window. Used in basement remodeling. Very heavy and sturdy. Screwed in to pressure treated wood then caulked. Two person installation to level and secure. Well worth the Money!

Good value, easy to install, directions are next to useless

The measures are 15 1/2 inches by 31 1/2 inches. The shipping was very fast and safe, don't worry about broken glass, that would not happen. I finished this window with a white door trim kit from the Home Depot with fluted casing (about $15) (had to buy 6 additional squares for the corners because I have installed the trim door on both sides of the window. This window looks very nice, the glass is high quality, the only thing is that the silicon in the joints was a little uncured, and the glass surface was not totally clean of it. But anyways it was easy to clean. So finally I have natural light (I have installed it in an interior wall), this bathroom had no windows and was very dark. and it looks very nice. My wife loves how it looks and that makes my happy.

Great Value! Kils the competition! Easy to install...looks great ...the price from Home Depot was much better and included free delivery...delivery was quick!

This is our second window. Put the first one in the shower in the remodeled bathroom. This one was for the kitchen. The first attempt at shipping was a failure. "UPS" destroyed it. AS USUAL. After a return at Home Depot, (with no questions asked, gotta love that), the next one was sent to the store and arrived in tact. It went in with ease using the "nail-up" flanges. Siliconed it into place and it looks great. Couldn't be easier. Great product, would recommend to anyone.

I installed this window in the shower area of my bathroom. It looks good, is water tight and with a spray on frosting it lets light is not see through. I will say that the joints of the block had to be re-sealed with clear silicone, as they had huge gaps from the factory, and the corners of a few blocks had cracked in shipping, but with a little clear sealer you can't even tell. For the price its a good buy, but you get what you pay for. Also the Plasitc mounting strips they give you are almost worthless as well as the vinyl frame the window sits in. With a little enginuity and the right tools though it goes in, looks good and should last quite a while.

I ordered on line and bought two windows and they looked really good when I received them ... Except I measured wrong ... I called my local store and was told I could return them to the store and exchange them for the correct size. Once we had the correct windows the installation took about an hour for each window. It helped to have someone help hold the window to make sure it didn't fall though the opening before it was shimmed and mortared in place. They look great and I am very happy.

Great product. Replaced one window and liked it so much went and bought three more to do all basement windows.

I was hoping to use the nailing flange, but it wasn't clear how it installed to the window. Couldn't figure it out and image on instructions not clear. Ended up securing window with spray foam insulation after shimming bottom of window up. Worked fine.

we installed this indoors upstairs to turn our open den into a bedroom with 2 panel doors next to it. It leaves light through but still gives privacy. Very heavy window ! but we just nail gunned in it with some jam stock over the edges. Price and quality absolutely recommendable. Tip; when you pick it up, make sure it's not chipped or cracked by getting it out of the box at home depot before taking it home.
