Wide range of design options
Straight, curved, and discontinuous curved walls are available through selection of
glass block sizes. Patterns permit light control and use of transparent or non-transparent
glass. A colorful atmosphere can be created by choosing colored blocks.
Energy-saving
The inside of each glass block is a near-vacuum with a pressure of 0.3atm. This provides
the glass block with a higher heat insulating value than the double glazed glass,
qualifying the glass block as an energy-saving building material.
Amenity
The glass block creates an agreeable living environment by transmitting, refracting,
or reflecting light. The transparent glass block permits a view of the surrounding
landscape, thereby avoiding a feeling of entrapment. Moreover, the glass block creates
a quieter space by reducing noise.
Safety
A properly installed glass block wall is normally reliable. It is wind- and
earthquake-resistant, and also offers protection against crime.
Maintenance-free
The easy to clean and condensation-free glass block facilitates building maintenance.
If cracked a glass block is readily replaceable.
