Transparent And Lustrous Fused Crystal Glass Blocks Glass Block Walls For Architectural Decoration
What Exactly Is Glass Brick?
Glass brick, or alternatively glass block, is a glass architectural
element that admits light while maintaining visual privacy due to
its translucent properties. The original patent for glass brick,
filed in 1907, describes it as a process of fusing two sections of
glass into a single block with a hollow center. This unique
combination facilitates the material’s translucence and thus its
properties of light-giving and privacy, as well its insulating
qualities such as sound deadening, energy insulation, and
fireproofing. These blocks can be any variety of sizes, but are
usually at least two to three inches thick. During the
manufacturing process, they can be altered in a variety of ways to
achieve different aesthetic effects or levels of transparency,
including by varying the texture or color of the blocks, creating
different shapes such as hexagons, or curving the blocks as part of
a predetermined design. Similarly, glazes or inserts may be added
to each block, or patterns can be pressed either into the interior
space or outer surface while it is cooling.
