how to build a glass block wall (free standing) in the bathroom?

Answer 1

Glas blocks are designed to allow slim re-inforcing slats to be inserted every few blocks to add strength. Particularly important for free standing. The re-inforcing bars do not show.

Answer 2

Lowes Home Improvement has a video tape you can purchase on installing glass block walls. That will give you an idea of the level of difficulty for this cool home improvement project. You can even add lights into your glass blocks! Framing with wood on the bottom and glass block on top would definetly be cheaper and probably a little safer.
