Is this basement space a bedroom or a finished living space?

Glass block is a strong fit for privacy, security, utility rooms, laundry rooms, bathrooms, garages, storage areas, and other non-bedroom basement openings. If the space behind the window is a bedroom, a short-term rental sleeping room, an Airbnb sleeping room, or finished living space people actually use, you should evaluate egress before you install glass block. Ohio Residential Code requires a code-compliant emergency escape opening for basement bedrooms. Finished basement living spaces may require — or strongly benefit from — compliant egress, depending on the room’s use, the scope of the finish-out, and your local building department.

Glass block does not open. It should not be treated as an emergency escape opening. Glass Block HQ installs basement glass-block windows for non-sleeping spaces; for basement sleeping rooms and finished living areas, our sister company Evolve Egress installs code-compliant egress windows. Not sure which one fits? Get a free estimate — we’ll help you figure out which option actually fits.
