Hello.
I wonder why anyone placed NOR-notie in the introduction of the article where the author only mentioned facts that actualy don't need any evidence.
"Glass brick, also known as glass block, is often used as an architectural element in underground parking garages[original research?],..." - Okay, there isn't in every underground parking garage a glass brick wall, but it obviously is an architectural element.
"...washrooms[original research?], municipal swimming baths[original research?],..." - I asume the person who placed this note here hasn't ever been in school or in a municipal swimming bath, because glass bricks are nearly in every public washroom, for example in schools, or in swimming baths.
"...and other areas where privacy or visual obscuration is desired[original research?], while admitting light." - This is definitly fact. Glass bricks let light and brightness pass but not the views of a curious neighbour.
So please erase these notes and check the rest of the article because this was only the introduction... (precedecing unsigned comments by 79.217.108.138)
Glass bricks are not solid - they contain a gas. Does anyone know what this gas is? La vita è dolce ( talk) 20:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I would like to help contribute to this page. I've listed some references to possibly help with the history, which seems to be missing. Adding historical uses may be helpful since the material dates back to the nineteenth century. I also recall some architects used to integrate the bricks into their flooring systems as a health benefit for workers (e.g. Otto Wagner's Österreichische Postsparkasse), although I'm unsure of sources other than the Postsparkasse's museum. Does anyone know of any?
Other potential sources:
[1] Explains the different standard sizes and installation methods.
[2] Explains a manufacturing process.
[3] An early 20th century summary of glass brick use.
[4] The use today.
[5] Describes early color blown glass bricks.
Any other suggestions on avenues for historical context of the glass block or in general would be appreciated. Kalkot ( talk) 03:57, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Does anyone know the structural properties of glass brick? i.e. How they distribute weight and whether the type of glass varies for different strength applications. NKyoder ( talk) 16:48, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
