Abstract: A glass block wall is provided, and includes rows of glass blocks without mortar, mastic or grout. The blocks rest upon horizontal strips of simple, readily made shape, such as channels and I-sections, and are separated by vertical strips of I-section, preferably having their webs slightly longer than their flanges. A perimeter frame is provided, at least parts of which are secured to the floor and a wall defining the opening for the glass block wall. Wedges are provided at the end of each row of glass blocks as required to accommodate the variation in the size of individual glass blocks from the normal or established size. Corner elements are provided.

Abstract: A modular form is disclosed for enabling an individual unskilled in bricklaying techniques to install professional looking patios, walkways, or to resurface walls and the like. The forms comprise tray-like modules, containing a network of grids which create brick-shaped voids arranged in commonly used brick patterns. After placing the modules on a suitable surface, bricks are inserted into the voids and a suitable grouting material such as sand and portland cement or masonry cement is applied between the bricks. The modules insure correct brick pattern spacing and a professional looking final product and permit considerable time savings when compared to conventional methods. The grids are preferably arranged to form a "basketweave" pattern for ground use and a "running bond" pattern for wall use, but other patterns are also disclosed. The invention also provides interlocking means for the modules so that uniformity of the pattern is retained in the creation of various sized patios, walkways or brick walls.
