Q: I would like to replace a window in my house with glass block. It is an arched dual pane glass that has lost its seal. Is this feasible from the perspective of available materials, so I won't have to remodel the entire window opening?

A: Yes, there is such an acrylic product made by Hy-lite which offers custom retrofit windows as well as shower enclosures and custom configurations. They are completely prefabricated, lightweight, Safety Glazed Approved, available with aluminum or vinyl frames with a 10-year warranty. You can find information about it at www.hy-lite.com.

To locate a specialist to install one for you, please visit our site, click on the house/contractor/family photo, and type custom window into the search box. Fill out a service request for "Find A Fabricated Custom Window" explaining that you want a Hy-lite window in the additional details box so we can match you with the ideal service professional in your area.

Good luck!
