Abstract

A glass block (14) panel construction and method of fabrication useful for decorative and functional purposes. The panel includes a frame (10) rigidly assembled from interlocking components (40,52) to form a grid-like pattern of adjacent pockets (12), each pocket (12) sized to receive and support a glass block (14) by way of support lips (39,50,60) extending around each pocket, the blocks (14) bonded to the frame (10) and therefore to one another in structurally stable and weather sealed relation.
