Who makes (or where can I buy) 2" glass blocks?
Glass blocks (for privacy or decorative walls and window openings) are
usually 3" and 4" wide. According to the following statement (which is apparently 6 years old), it would seem that 2" blocks should be some-what common today: ---------------------- Building Products, March-April, 2004 by Stephanie Herzfeld Glass block manufacturers are keeping pace with acrylic, introducing lighter, 2-inch-thick block windows, "It's still heavier than acrylic, but it's a very manageable weight," says Kurt Hodson, general manager of the glass block maker Pacific Accent. Two-inch-thick glass block weighs one-third less than traditional 3-inch-thick glass block. Acrylic block weighs 75 percent less than all glass blocks, manufacturers say.

So - are 2" glass blocks available to the home-owner / renovator? |
