hi all,

just a question in relation to glass bricks,

the hall way if the house could get a lot more light if i use glass bricks in the play room which has a large window. the wall would only be about 2.5 meters long,

Question: has anyone used these bricks?
how good are they at lighting up an area, assuming good light in the room it comes from. most of the bricks ive seen in the past are more "wow there glass bricks" rather than "wow there is so much more light in here because of those glass bricks".

Ive seen Glass blocks give alot of light when used as an external window. I doubt the extra light passing from room to hall through glass block would be much of an advantage unless the hall is very very dark

I've used them in a number of schemes to bring additional light into an otherwise dark hallyway.
There is a company that makes panels too. I will pm you the name.
