I'm researching replacing 4 basement windows with block glass windows. I have gotten two quotes and the costs are almost identical. One contractor quoted the installation using mortar and the other quoted using silicon. Can I get someone to give their opinon on which one is better? What are the pros and cons of using either mortar and silicon? I have priced out all the materials for doing it my self, and compared to the quotes, it looks like this project is one to use a contractor.

Thanks for your response.

Go to your local Home Depot. There is a company they deal with that make pre-assembled glass block windows. Check your size and go to the millwork desk and see if one of the pre-built units will work
