Bathroom Glass Block Wall

Finally finished the last few courses of the glass block wall for the downstairs bathroom.

It took a few days to complete. I set the first course and levelled them which was a bit tricky on the sloping concrete floor. Once the first course had cured I laid 3 or 4 courses at a time and clamped a level and timber to the end column of blocks to help keep them in alignment.

After snapping off the guide pieces on the plastic spacers and cleaning up between the blocks. I’ll give them a few weeks to dry fully before applying the final grout finish between the blocks.

All blocks, spacers, grout and steel reinforcing bars were sourced from the Glass Block Co. in Lucan, Dublin (www.glassblockco.ie). They had a great selection, competitive prices and very helpful with tips on installation for a rookie like me!!
