Cheap glass blocks/glass concrete?
No, I'm not interested in stolen goods. Just too lazy to do my own price comparison. ;o)
Does anyone know where I can get cheap glass blocks?
I don't need that many. You could say it's for a base/foot for a table.
I'm looking for clear glass blocks. Square ones, half squares, and corner pieces.

Clear glass blocks cost 19.95 at Cheapy (http://www.cheapy.se/)
There are good prices at Bauhaus and Hornbach, around 18 SEK each for regular blocks.

When I looked quickly at Bauhaus in Bäckebol, their price was around 20-30 per block. But I can't swear by it.jocke4u said:
Isn't there a used building materials store that offers glass blocks/glass concrete? ???
A little late perhaps, but what the heck...
Some tips when choosing glass blocks:
1) Check the color of the glass carefully. Take a block and compare it with, for example, a white cardboard sheet. Then you can see if the glass is white or green. It might not matter much if you are making a foundation for a table or something, but if you are fitting the glass blocks with, for instance, tiles in a bathroom, then the shades are important.
2) Some types of glass blocks are stamped with a barcode on the edge of the glass block. If you're unlucky, it can show through the (often) white paint that the glass blocks are edge painted with.
