Why is there a draft coming through my windows?

If you notice a cool breeze coming through your windows it means there's an issue with the seal. This could be between frame and wall or glass, so don't forget to check both sides! A properly sealed window retains heat inside but also blocks any escaping cold air - making them great for keeping things cozy on particularly chilly days (or nights).

How do you check for air leaks around windows?

Check your door and window frames for cracks, as well as the caulking around them. And see if you can rattle any of these doors or windows by shaking it side-to-side - movement means possible air leaks!

How do I know if my house is drafty?

Hold a lit candle near one of the windows in your house. If it flickers or goes out, there's drafty airflow right where you're standing!

Glass Blocks and Wedi Shower System

This client did a complete master bathroom remodel with Pittsburgh Corning Icescapes Glass Block in two windows at either end of his shower. They also desired a dramatic look to their new ceramic tile shower. The answer was a Riolito Shower Base with a new design that allows larger tile to be used on the floor area. The long rectangular drain is what allows larger tile to be used. Masonry & Glass Systems installed the glass block and provided design assistance and Wedi materials for the project. The customer also wanted a large area to store soaps and shampoo and he designed a custom soap niche from Wedi 3 x 5 x 1/2 inch boards. The project looks terrific and Masonry & Glass Systems is proud to have played a part.
