ABSTRACT:
A glass block wall is provided, and includes rows of glass blocks without mortar, mastic or grout. The blocks rest upon horizontal strips of simple, readily made shape, such as channels and I-sections, and are separated by vertical strips of I-section, preferably having their webs slightly longer than their flanges. A perimeter frame is provided, at least parts of which are secured to the floor and a wall defining the opening for the glass block wall. Wedges are provided at the end of each row of glass blocks as required to accommodate the variation in the size of individual glass blocks from the normal or established size. Corner elements are provided.
