glass block wall to separate bath room (process approach) 04-Paredes

I would like to continue adding information from my other two post regarding the glass block or glass block, "03- glass block installation in kitchens and bathrooms " and "04- glass block walls or glass block ."

Here I want to show the images of the process followed in the separation of a bedroom and bathroom (suite) in a penthouse in Barcelona.


As it is a bit difficult to understand how these rooms were before and how I finished, this item can combine with explanations that I offer in my website, by clicking on: http://www.refohabit.com/reforma_de_bano_3V04.html , where you can see how the bathroom was and how it was before the reform.

First I had to clean up the stacks of drywall that was on the wall, then build a wall to work with supermaón 4, prepare facilities and water, and finally tiling. To the right was a wall that separated the gallery work in a bathroom in poor condition, which also knocked to expand the space that would be a bathroom. I made a pallet of 16 cm. high for the new location of the drains.
Supermaón placed pieces of 7 in a circle, at a height of 10 cms. above the stage, where he later placed inside the socket in the bathroom. The socket supermaón and I served as the basis for placing the glass blocks circularly. It is preferable to use separators such as "spiders" as the standard separators are not suitable for circular walls, only give a good result in case of straight walls. I placed barillas
threaded (horizontally), diameter 6 in each of the rows of glass block. Finally
special cement grout joints with a rubber, block by block cleaned with a damp cloth, then spent a damp sponge to the board to leave in the fine finish. I did a final cleaning of all glass block.


As for brands and manufacturers of glass block, I normally use blocks from the Italian Vetroarredo ( http://sevesglassblock.com/es/index.php ), the model "Neutral Wavy * Basic "tired and not in all cases combined. Unless my client specifically requests otherwise, always placed buckler translucent or transparent corrugated * . In many cases terminations or other formats using block, depending the ultimate goal and / or layout ( http://sevesglassblock.com/es/clear.html ).
