Making Bricks of Qlass
The demand for hollow brick and
building blocks for house construction
has induced glass manufacturers to
put hollow glass brick on the mar
ket, and they promise to be used ex
| tensively for novel and artistic effects.
The first glass bricks, being solid,
proved a failure on account of their
■ cost, but the hollow glass bricks can
I be made at much less expense. They
are lighter and stronger than clay
i bricks and are such excellent non
conductors that walls built of them
are proof against dampness, sound,
heat and cold. The bricks are sealed
hermetically when hot and are placed
in walls with a colorless mortar made
of glass. The bonding strength of
!the glass mortar is almost as great as
the bricks themselves.
