MATRIXWALL®

Mortarless Glass Block System

The MATRIXWALL® is a patented glass block wall system that is easy to install, maintain, and replace; the glass blocks are inserted and removed with minimal effort and equipment. MATRIXWALL® utilizes an aluminum structural grid hidden within the joints of the blocks and does not require mortar. The use of solid glass blocks creates windows and walls with high-durability, resistance to vandalism, and perfect alignment.
