Glass blocks

Glass blocks are popular in both commercial and home applications because they bring with them both transparency and mass - delivering a sophisticated blend of two apparent opposites: separation and inclusion.

A contemporary application for glass block is the partial or deconstructed divider. When used for this purpose the top and side surfaces of some blocks are left exposed. Until recently, it has been up to the buyer to either leave the opaque glass block edges exposed, or find custom plastic or ceramic fittings for them. In any case, the result has been surface edges that sharply contrast with the transparent look & feel of the blocks.
